VTV.vn - Provinces in the Central Highlands region should focus on socio-economic development while ensuring regional security, according to Politburo member and Minister of Public Security Tran Dai Quang at a conference in Buon Ma Thuot City.

The minister requested the Central Highlands Steering Committee to implement party and government socio-economic development plans by the end of 2015. He also praised provincial successes in socio-economic development with economic growth reaching 7.34 percent in the first half of the year.

The region has offered vocational training to over 44,000 individuals and created jobs for nearly 50,000 workers. Policies for ethnic groups and social welfare activities have been effectively enacted and impoverished ethnic households have been supported with land for housing and loans for manufacturing development in a bid to reduce hunger and poverty./.
