Phong, who is also a Politburo member, was joined by the Son La Provincial NA Deputies’ Delegation.
The visit aimed to inspect the implementation of social welfare policies in the locale to support people in recovering socio-economic activities now that the COVID-19 epidemic is under control.
At the meeting, Van Ho District authorities briefed the NA leader on the local socio-economic developments, especially regarding COVID-19 and African swine fever control measures, as well as plans to promote the new rural area development in Van Ho and the organisation of Party congresses at all levels.
Local voters voiced their suggestion for the central Government and Son La authorities to pour more investment into local infrastructure development, production land expansion and ethnic support policies.
Phong highly praised socio-economic development results achieved by Van Ho District in general and Xuan Nha Commune in particular in recent years, especially the effective implementation of COVID-19 prevention and control measures.
