(HBO) – Right after taking a refresher course in defence – security knowledge held in early 2021 by Mai Chau district’s defence – security education council for village elders, clan leaders, outstanding individuals, and prestigious persons of communities, Sung A Vo, a village elder in Pa Co hamlet of Pa Co commune, met descendants in his clan and local households to disseminate the new information and knowledge he had acquired so as to join efforts in developing their village.
Prestigious persons in Hang Kia commune, Mai Chau
district, and police officers discuss ways to promote the "All people safeguard
the Fatherland’s security” movement.
like Sung A Vo, Vang A Tinh, another village
elder in Hang Kia commune, also has an important voice in his community. He has
worked hard to encourage locals to plant forests, protect the environment, take
part in the "All people safeguard the Fatherland’s security” movement, preserve
and bring into play fine traditional cultural values, and halt the opium poppy
cultivation. As a result, locals have pin their trust in Tinh and followed his
recommendations.
Ha Thi Duoc, head of the mass mobilisation board
of the Mai Chau Party Committee and President of the district’s Vietnam
Fatherland Front Committee, said under the Prime Minister’s Directive No
06/CT-TTg on promoting the role of ethnic minority communities’ prestigious
persons in national construction and defence, all-level Party committees and
authorities in Mai Chau have stepped up this task in order to carry out the
Party and State’s policies on ethnic minority affairs and guarantee local
security and order.
Being aware of the prestigious persons’ role in
the ensuring of political security and social order and safety, the district’s
public security force has worked to promote the role of these individuals.
Senior Lieutenant Colonel Ha Van Van, deputy
head of the force, said local police have asked many prestigious persons for
help in dealing with complicated issues.
Statistics show that Mai Chau is currently home
to more than 130 village elders and leaders recognised as prestigious persons
in ethnic minority communities. Among them, 55 people have been engaging in
security and order safeguarding, including 33 from the Mong ethnic group, 16
Thai, three Dao, two Muong, and one Tay.
Not only bridging the Party and administration
with people, thanks to their prestige, village elders and leaders, heads of
clans, and prestigious persons in Mai Chau have set examples of participating
in and encouraging locals to join the fight against negative phenomena and
crimes, as well as economic development efforts.
Ha Thi Duoc said over the past years,
prestigious persons in ethnic minority communities in Mai Chau have truly
become a "channel” via which the Party and State’s guidelines, policies, and
laws have been popularised and carried out. They have also proved helpful in
boosting economic activities and calling on locals to fulfill their citizen
obligations and to capitalise on development chances created by the Party and
State.
They have done a good job of making use of their
role and prestige and become a factor for cementing solidarity in communities,
