Can Tho (VNA) - Can Tho city hasbecome the first provincial-level locality in the Mekong Delta to complete thetask of building new-style rural areas.

The municipal People’s Committee held a ceremonyon September 16 to announce the Prime Minister’s decision to recognise Thoi Laiand Co Do districts as new-style rural areas.

So far, all four outlying districts in Can Thohave earned the title, with Phong Dien doing so in 2015 and Vinh Thanh in 2018.

This makes Can Tho the first provincial-levellocality in the Mekong Delta and the third in Vietnam to have completed thetask, one year ahead of schedule.

Secretary of the city’s Party Committee TranQuoc Trung said Co Do and Thoi Lai districts had low starting points in thebuilding of new-style rural areas, with high household poverty rates, low economiccompetitiveness, and modest living standards.

Thanks to the municipal administration’s directionand the efforts of local authorities and people, the two districts have seensuccess in rural development, he noted.

The national target programme on buildingnew-style rural areas, initiated by the Government in 2010, aims to developrural regions around Vietnam. Its 19 criteria cover a wide range of fields,including infrastructure development, production capacity improvements,environmental protection, and the promotion of cultural values, among others./.
