Deploy key tasks
Appreciating the results that Nghe An province and Nam Dan district have achieved in implementing the Project to build Nam Dan into a model new rural district in terms of culture associated with tourism, according to Deputy Minister of Agriculture and Rural Development Tran Thanh Nam, the construction of advanced rural areas and model new rural areas aims to increasingly improve the material and spiritual life of the people. New rural areas must have a sense of community, be connected to each other, and aim for a peaceful life, making each rural area truly worth living.
