Politburo member and Chairman of the National Assembly Vuong Dinh Hue asked the Central Highlands province of Dak Nong to focus on socio-cultural-economic development, Party building and defence-security protection during a working session with the provincial Party Committee's Standing Board on July 1.

Hue suggested that Dak Nong province should optimise its advantages in ecosystem and tourism as well as fruit tree cultivation to develop stronger.

According to Deputy Secretary of the provincial Party Committee Dieu Kre, in the first six months of 2021, Dak Nong's gross regional domestic product (GRDP) growth reached 6.03 percent. So far, 29 out of 60 communes in the province have been recognised as new-style rural areas.

The NA leader reminded the province to maintain its achievements in COVID-19 prevention and control, noting that Dak Nong has still been free from the pandemic since it first broke out early last year.

He asked Dak Nong to speed up agricultural restructuring and developing major products as well as products in the One Commune-One Product (OCOP) programme basing on the application of high technology and the model of collective economy, while paying greater attention to personnel training.

Regarding bauxite exploitation, he asked the province to form a working team to take charge of updating and implementing policies on bauxite exploitation and sale as well as the aluminum industry's development.

The NA Chairman stressed the need for Dak Nong to give priority to the Dak Nong-Chon Thanh expressway project connecting with Binh Phuoc province and develop infrastructure for Gia Nghia city.

He also requested Dak Nong province to show stronger performance in addressing free migration activities.

On the occasion, the NA leader handed over VND1 billion (US$43,500) as support to Dak Nong in COVID-19 prevention and control. Representatives from the Vietnam Fatherland Front Central Committee also presented VND1 billion to the province, while the Ministry of Health also handed over VND5 billion (US$217,500) worth of medical supplies to the locality. Tua Sran Solar JSC also donated VND5 billion to the province.
