Party General Secretary Nguyen Phu Trong on August 2 had a working visit
to the northern province of Ha Nam to inspect socio-economic
development, new-style rural area building and Party-building work in
the locality.
Working with the provincial leaders,
the Party leader said Ha Nam should work hard to fulfill set
targets as it remains a poor province with low per-capital income.
As a southern gateway to the capital city of Hanoi , the province
needs to developing agriculture in combination with processing industry
and export while focusing all resources on human resources development,
he said.
Party leader Trong asked Ha Nam to
enhance connections with other regions in the country to further develop
in the future.
He also urged the local authorities
to well prepare for Party congresses at all levels towards the 12 th
National Party Congress in early 2016.
The province
should continue to well implement the Party and political system
building work as well as creating a strong and united apparatus that can
be resilient to negative phenomena, particularly corruption, the Party
chief noted.
According to the local authorities,
Ha Nam has enjoyed an annual GDP growth rate of 13 percent. The
economic structure has changed in a right direction with the proportion
of industry and construction rising to 53 percent and that of
agro-forestry-fisheries dropping to 15.6 percent.
The living standards of locals have much improved while the new rural
building programme has seen remarkable developments with three communes
fulfilling all targets and 11 communes meeting 15 criteria.
Earlier, the Party leader visited Binh Luc district’s Vu Ban commune,
where 85.5 percent of population live on agriculture, and the Number 1
