“The top priority now
is to ensure social parity, reduce the gap between the rich and the poor
and strengthen public confidence in the Party,” the Party leader said.
He added that to reach that goal every cadre and
Party member should set an example in leading a healthy life and take
the initiative in the fight against aloofness, corruption and waste.

in a practical way, which has inspired locals to contribute more to
national construction and left an impression of a peaceful and stable
Vietnam with a rich and special culture among the international
community.

economic growth rate of over 11 percent in 2010 and an annual per-capita
income of 1,950 USD despite the global economic crisis.

visit to the southern province of Long An.
