The event was held in Quyet Tam hamlet, Trung Luong commune, Dinh Hoa district, which is home to 680 residents belonging to six ethnic groups. About 80 percent of the population works in agriculture.

Chairman Hue congratulated Trung Luong commune on meeting all the 19 criteria for a new-style rural area. Meanwhile, Dinh Hoa district is also striving to become a new-style rural district in 2022.

He noted despite enormous difficulties and challenges to national development amid the fourth wave of COVID-19, Vietnam has still managed to sustain positive growth in the first nine months of this year.

He attributed the achievement to the strength of the great national solidarity.

The NA leader stressed that the more difficult it is, the more strongly the great national solidarity is brought into play./.
