Addressing the conference, Tran Dang Ninh, Deputy
Secretary of the provincial Party Committee and Chairman of the provincial

and religious dignitaries in Hoa Binh. He affirmed that with their voices and
wholehearted devotion, they have connected local communities, upheld the
national strength and disseminated the Party and State’s policies to local
people.
Ninh stressed that as Hoa Binh province is going
to implement a number of socio-economic development plans and community-based
livelihoods programmes in ethnic minority-inhabited areas, the prestigious
persons and village patriarchs and village heads should continue encouraging
local residents to support these programmes and projects.
He also voiced his hope that they will play an important role
in promoting a civilized lifestyle in local communities and fighting social
crimes and old-fashioned customs, especially child and consanguineous marriages.
On this occasion, the official also asked
authorities at all levels and sectors to pay more attention to policies
targeting ethnic minority-inhabited areas and the implementation of economic
development programmes in those areas to improve living conditions of local
residents.
