He made a fact-finding tour of Nghe An dairy farming project in Nghia Dan district, which was licensed in 2009. The US$350 million project, which takes the province 4 years to complete, is designed to raise 45,000 New Zealand dairy cows and supply 500 tonnes of sterilized fresh milk per day.

To boost socio-economic development, Nghe An must utilize the potential and advantages of forest and agricultural land and minerals while developing human resources, sea ports and airports and attractive policies for more investment, said Mr Dung.

He urged the province to expand breeding and farming models by applying advanced technology to provide highly valued clean agricultural products. He requested it to streamline administrative procedures to encourage all economic sectors into investment and development with a key focus on economic zones, transport infrastructure, and human resource development.

The Government leader asked the province to make drastic changes in socio-economic development in disadvantaged districts, successfully organise Party congresses at all levels and fulfill all the targets set for this year.

On the occasion, Mr Dung visited Kim Lien relic site, and High Command Military Zone No 4, which was praised for having contributed to the country’s socio-economic achievements. He asked cadres and soldiers from the military zone to make a greater effort to build a pure and strong military unit, cope with natural disasters, ensure political security and boost production in order to improve material and spiritual lives.
