Tan Lac district on June 18 held its 4th Congress of Ethnic Minorities, drawing the participation of 150 delegates from the district's ethnic minority areas.

Leader of the Tan Lac
district People's Committee awards certificates of merit to collectives with
outstanding achievements in the emulation movement for socio-economic
development in ethnic minority and mountainous areas.
Over recent years, ethnic minorities in the district in
general and ethnic minorities in extremely difficult areas in the district in
particular have benefited a lot from national target programmes, contributing
to creating a facelift in rural areas and favourable conditions for
socio-economic development, and improving locals’ knowledge. In the 2019 – 2024
period, local ethnic minorities have made efforts to boost economic
development, and agricultural and forestry in a sustainable and comprehensive
direction. The district has achieved important socio-economic development results,
with the poverty rate decreasing from 19.66% in 2019 to 9.40% in late 2023.
In the coming time, Tan Lac strives to have the average
income of ethnic minorities reaching at least half of the national average,
reduce the poverty rate to below 7%, and basically have no longer particularly
difficult communes. In addition, 40% of ethnic minority labourers will know how
to work in the fields of industry, handicrafts, tourism, and services; and 90%
of communes and villages in ethnic minority and mountainous areas have enough
infrastructure to meet socio-economic development requirements.
The congress elected 10 delegates to attend the higher-level congress.
On this occasion, the Chairperson of the district People's Committee awarded
certificates of merit to eight collectives and 15 individuals with outstanding
achievements in the emulation movement for socio-economic development in ethnic
minority and mountainous areas.
