In Quy Chau district, the delegation visited and presented gifts to Chau Thang commune. This is one of the communes with the most difficult socio-economic life in Quy Chau district.

With the terrain being mainly mountainous, sloping land and being divided by a dense network of rivers and streams, people in the commune still lack sustainable livelihoods to stabilize their lives. Therefore, the total number of poor households in the commune is still high with 287 households out of a total of 555 households in the commune, accounting for over 38%. The number of near-poor households remains over 26%.

In Quy Hop district, the delegation visited Lien Hop commune - where people have the lowest average income per capita in the district, less than 22.5 million/person/year. With the characteristic of being an area where more than 97% of Thai ethnic people live, with limited production land, the local poverty rate still accounts for 34.42%, near-poor is 36.65%.

Faced with many difficult circumstances in the two communes of Chau Thang and Lien Hop, the working delegation kindly visited and sent New Year greetings to the households and sent to each commune 30 gifts for the 30 most disadvantaged households, each gift worth 800,000 VND.

On behalf of the National Assembly delegation, comrade Nguyen Van Hien said the above gifts are the delegation's heart to support and share difficulties with poor households in the commune, hoping that people will have a happy and warm Tet Canh Ty.

In the coming time, the National Assembly delegation hopes to continue to have many programs and projects for poor communes and poor households to create sustainable livelihoods for people. At the same time, people need to try to grasp and implement local policies and resolutions to improve their lives.
