A spectrum of issues regarding corruption and other illegal actions, the quality of human resources, competitive edge, and rapid and sustainable development are expected to be addressed during the Congress, he said.

He called on the Party and State to pay more heed to the contingent of intellectuals and create optimal conditions for them to devote to the nation.
Echoing other Party Congress delegates’ views, Nguyen Thi Minh Giang, Director of the Kien Giang provincial Department of Education and Training, said the Party Congress will outline strategic targets, and sound and comprehensive decisions and policies on agriculture, farmers, rural areas, education and training, which, she said, should be suitable for each locality.
Tran Van Ron, Secretary of the Vinh Long provincial Party Committee, called for more attention from the Party Central Committee, the National Assembly, the Government, ministries and agencies in order to create momentum for the development in the Mekong Delta region.
Venerable Thich Minh Nhan from the Vietnam Buddhist Sangha’s Kien Giang Chapter, stressed that the national sovereignty over sea and islands must be protected.
