Party chief orders drastic fight against drought in Tien Giang
Party General Secretary Nguyen Phu Trong ordered taking prompt and drastic actions to fight drought and saline intrusion while visiting the Mekong Delta province of Tien Giang on March 16.
He hoped that Tien Giang will do a good job of Party building and persistently carrying out the Party building resolution adopted by the 11 th Party Central Committee’s fourth plenum, in combination with a campaign on studying and following the moral examples of President Ho Chi Minh.
Tien Giang needs to direct and successfully hold elections of deputies to the 14 th NA and People’s Councils for the 2016-2021 tenure, ensuring democracy, quality and law abidance in the process.
Visiting Gia Thuan commune – a specially disadvantaged locality in the coastal district of Go Cong Dong, he examined local measures to cope with the severe drought, develop the marine-based economy, build new-style rural areas and reduce poverty.
The district is currently home to two communes meeting all new-style rural area criteria, with the rate of poor households falling to 2.96 percent.
In the morning of the same day, the Party chief paid a call to a heroic Vietnamese mother and visited Go Cong wood craft village in the locality.
