The assistance will focus on empowering women, alleviating poverty for ethnic communities, and narrowing the development gap with other localities in the region, he said.
Ha Giang has received funds from the Australian Government for 12 projects, which produced sound outcomes in tackling poverty and helping ethnic children access education.
Chairman of the provincial People’s Committee Nguyen Van Son spoke with his guest about development goals for 2016-2020. Main tasks include developing border trade, agro-forestry, fishery and tourism.
He stressed that Ha Giang will provide favourable conditions for Australian investors.-VNA
