Deputy Secretary of Nghe An Provincial Party Committee Hoang Nghia Hieu expressed his joy and excitement to welcome the Standing Committee of the Provincial Catholic Solidarity Committee to visit and congratulate on the occasion of the Lunar New Year 2024; at the same time, on behalf of the provincial leaders, he respectfully thanked and sent to priest Nguyen Dang Dien and the delegation the best wishes for peace and happiness.

On this occasion, the Deputy Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee also informed some basic features of the province's socio-economic situation in 2023. Accordingly, last year, although the economy faced many difficulties, affecting production and business, the Party Committee, government and people of Nghe An made many efforts and achieved outstanding and encouraging results.

The province's socio-economic life has many bright spots, including the attraction of foreign investment capital, which for the second consecutive year ranked Nghe An in the top 10 of the country. The education sector continues to reap success when the number of excellent national and international students ranked second in the country (after the capital Hanoi).

Another bright spot is that in 2023, Nghe An province built more than 7,500 houses for the poor; called for more than 870 billion VND from the Fund for the Poor, contributing to creating motivation to help the poor improve their lives. National defense and security are maintained, people are truly assured to do business and produce, and people's trust in the Party is strengthened...

The above achievements are the result of the efforts of Party committees at all levels, authorities, businesses and people of all walks of life, including the contribution of the Catholic community. On behalf of the provincial leadership, Deputy Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee Hoang Nghia Hieu thanked the contributions of bishops, priests, dignitaries, officials and Catholics who have contributed to the socio-economic highlights of the province in the past year.

Entering 2024, in addition to the advantages, the socio-economic situation will still face many difficulties. This is also the year the province implements many large projects, and life will have changes. Therefore, the provincial leaders hope that the Provincial Catholic Solidarity Committee will continue to be a bridge between the Party Committee, the government and the Catholic people; strengthen the solidarity between Catholics and non-Catholics, together towards a better life.

On the occasion of welcoming the Spring of Giap Thin 2024, Deputy Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee Hoang Nghia Hieu wished Father Giuse Nguyen Dang Dien as well as members of the Provincial Catholic Solidarity Committee and Catholics throughout the province good health, happiness, peace and prosperity./.
