He said the inauguration of Asia's largest rice factory in An Giang and the construction of a road linking National Highway 91 and the bypass of Long Xuyen city will be the driving force for local socio-economic development.
The same day, the President attended the inauguration ceremony of the Hanh Phuc rice factory located in Tri Ton district, with a daily capacity of 1,000 tonnes of processed rice, the biggest in Asia.
