To change the practice, the Party and Government have adopted a series of policies to help ethnic minorities have sustainable resettlement.
The PM issued Decision 33/2007/QD-TTg dated March 5, 2007 featuring a policy supporting the migrant ethnic minorities to settle from 2007-2010 and Decision 1342/QD-TTg approving a resettlement plan for the migrant ethnic minority groups to 2012.
In 2013, he then issued Decision 33/2013/QD-TTg dated June 6, declaring the continuous implementation of the support policy for the resettlement of ethnic minorities to 2015.
The policy will feature many fields from production, transport, utilities to education, health, with a view to improving the living conditions, stabilising production, and raising educational level for the ethnic minorities residing in remote, mountainous and border areas.-VNA
