Nghe An Newspaper quoted the speech:

...Implementing the National Target Program on New Rural Construction, with the great material and spiritual support of the Government and central ministries, branches and sectors; especially the response, consensus and support of the majority of people, the new rural construction movement in Nghe An in recent times has had a strong spread, attracting the entire political system and all people to participate with many creative and practical approaches.

Up to now, Nghe An has had 3 district-level units and 181/431 communes reaching the NTM target, reaching a rate of 42%; has built more than 4,500 effective production development models and 62 large-scale fields for high income; mobilized and integrated nearly 27,800billion VND to implement the program; including huge voluntary contributions from people in terms of materials, working days and land donation.

Thanks to that, the lives of people in rural areas of Nghe An have been constantly improved; the poverty rate has decreased to 7.54%; facilities and infrastructure have become increasingly spacious and modern.

Nam Dan is the hometown of President Ho Chi Minh.With a rich history, culture and revolutionary tradition, this place is not only a land of "geomancy and talented people" but is also blessed by nature with a beautiful and diverse landscape system; converging all the elements of rivers, mountains and plains, very favorable for the development of agriculture, rural areas, tourism and services.

With affection and responsibility for Uncle Ho and his homeland, the leaders, former leaders of the Party, the State and the Central Steering Committee for New Rural Construction have paid special attention and direction; the Standing Committee of Nghe An Provincial Party Committee considers the construction and development of Nam Dan a key task and has issued Resolution 07 to lead and orient the development of the district until 2030; along with the efforts of the entire political system and the people here, in recent years, Nam Dan district has achieved many achievements in all fields.

In particular, in implementing the National Target Program on New Rural Construction, Nam Dan is one of the bright spots of the province with many creative ways, mobilizing the entire political system and the entire people to unite and be determined to build.

Up to now, Nam Dan has successfully become the third district-level unit of Nghe An province to achieve the NTM standard. This is a very proud result that the Party Committee, government and people of Nam Dan have achieved after 7 years of persistent efforts and determination.

With the goal of having 61.5% of communes meeting NTM standards by 2025, Nghe An strives to have 61.5% of communes meeting NTM standards; 3 communes including Kim Lien of Nam Dan district, Quynh Doi of Quynh Luu district, Son Thanh of Yen Thanh district become model NTM communes; and by 2025, strive to make Nam Dan district the most model district among the 4 model NTM districts in the country.

Based on the very important and specific tasks that Comrade Vuong Dinh Hue - Politburo member, Deputy Prime Minister, Head of the Central Steering Committee for National Target Programs has directed and oriented for Nghe An province and Nam Dan district, I suggest that Nam Dan district needs to focus on completing and gradually improving the actual quality of the criteria.

First of all, it is necessary to pay attention to improving criteria related to people's quality of life, such as criteria on production development with developed economic models; improving people's material and spiritual life quality; building a green - clean - beautiful environment and landscape.

Well implement the project on building Nam Dan district into a model new rural district, a national tourism center by 2025; continue to promote the spirit of solidarity, working spirit following the example of President Ho Chi Minh, striving to build the homeland to be increasingly rich, beautiful, civilized, and the people to have a prosperous and happy life.

On behalf of the leaders of Nghe An province, I would like to sincerely thank the Central Party Committee, the Government, central ministries, branches and businesses for their attention and support to Nghe An province in the past time.

Especially the attention, help and regular, specific direction of comrade Nguyen Sinh Hung and comrade Vuong Dinh Hue since the district started implementing the National Target Program on New Rural Construction, we hope to continue to receive support in the coming time, so that Nghe An province can soon complete the task of building New Rural Construction, contributing with the whole country to successfully carry out the cause of industrialization and modernization of agriculture and rural areas.
