Due attention has not been paid to promote the potential and advantages of eachregion.
The lack of coordination between agencies in the implementation of someprojects was also a problem.
To boost sustainable development, the Politburo emphasised the need todetermine that ethnic tasks are important in the strategy of developing societyand the economy of Vietnam.
Local authorities and agencies were urged to complete the legal system relatingto ethnic minority people.
They were asked to shift economic structure in line with market demand andmobilise resources to fully tap the potential of the relevant localities toreduce the gap with other regions.

During his stay in China’s Guangzhou city from 1924 to 1927 to prepare for the establishment of a Communist Party to lead Vietnam’s revolution, President Ho Chi Minh founded “Thanh nien” newspaper and released its first issue on June 21, 1925.
