VOV.VN - These days, as the 14th National Congress of the Party approaches, an atmosphere of excitement and confidence is spreading throughout the villages of Son La. Cadres, Party members, and the people are paying special attention and placing high expectations on the important decisions of the Party in the new stage of the country's development.
For officials, Party members, and people in the Song Ma border region of Son La province, the Party Congress is not a distant political event, but one closely linked to their daily lives. Over the years, under the leadership of the Party, many major policies and guidelines have been implemented, creating significant changes in mountainous, remote, and border areas.
Mr. Nguyen Van Do, a Party member in Hung Ha village, Chieng Khuong commune, Son La province, said that in recent years, the transportation system, schools, and health stations in the border area where he lives have been gradually invested in; the livelihoods and income of people from agriculture have become increasingly prosperous. The national power grid, telecommunications, and internet coverage are widespread, helping people access information, science and technology, and expand the market for their products. His family, for example, earned nearly 1 billion VND this year thanks to developing a tangerine farming model.
The people of Chiềng Khương border commune are delighted as the local agricultural economy is increasingly thriving thanks to sound and effective policies.
From these concrete changes, the people's trust in the Party has been increasingly strengthened. Mr. Do hopes that the 14th Party Congress will continue to propose strategic, long-term policies and solutions that are appropriate to the actual conditions of ethnic minority areas, especially in economic development linked to sustainable poverty reduction.
"We hope the Party and the State will continue to create favorable conditions for farmers to borrow capital. At the same time, we hope they will continue to encourage businesses to invest in deep processing of agricultural products in remote areas to bring higher economic efficiency to the people," Mr. Nguyen Van Do shared.
Officials, Party members, and people of Chieng Khuong commune, Son La province, also expressed their desire for national target programs to continue to be implemented synchronously and effectively, especially the socio-economic development program for ethnic minority and mountainous areas, which is considered an important support to help people have more resources to invest in production and stabilize their lives.
The atmosphere of welcoming the 14th National Congress is spreading throughout the villages of Son La.
Mr. Dao Viet Phuong, Permanent Deputy Secretary of the Party Committee of Chieng Khuong commune, shared: "We believe and expect that the 14th National Congress of the Party will continue to set forth strategic policies and guidelines, creating strong momentum for sustainable socio-economic development in the new period. The people hope for continued attention to agriculture; practical policies to support agricultural production towards a commodity-based approach. At the same time, we expect the Party to continue to have mechanisms and policies for socio-economic development suitable for border areas, such as developing border gate economies."
Ms. Hoang Thi Thu, Permanent Deputy Secretary of the Party Committee of Chieng So commune, Son La province, expressed that along with education, healthcare for the people is also a major concern. Although the grassroots healthcare network has been strengthened, access to quality medical services in remote and mountainous areas remains limited. People hope that the 14th National Congress of the Party will continue to prioritize investment in medical equipment and strengthen the team of doctors at the grassroots level, so that people in mountainous areas can receive timely medical examination and treatment. At the same time, they hope for accelerated infrastructure development to help people in remote, disadvantaged, and disaster-stricken areas stabilize their lives.
Ms. Hoang Thi Thu, Permanent Deputy Secretary of the Party Committee of Chieng So commune, expressed her hope that the 14th National Congress of the Party would continue to pay attention to improving the lives of people in remote, mountainous, and particularly disadvantaged areas.
"We expect the 14th National Congress of the Party to select cadres who are dedicated, capable, courageous, and intelligent enough to lead the country into an era of national progress. In particular, we hope they will continue to focus on improving the lives of people in remote, mountainous, and especially disadvantaged areas," said Ms. Hoang Thi Thu.
From remote, mountainous, and border villages, cadres, Party members, and the people of Son La province are looking forward to the 14th National Congress of the Party with unwavering faith and high expectations. Their simple yet practical aspirations – improved roads, increased agricultural product consumption, and adequate education for their children – are the driving force behind the Party's continued formulation of major policies for sustainable development. The 14th National Congress of the Party is not only a momentous political event for the country, but also a platform for the people's aspirations to overcome poverty and build increasingly prosperous and happy lives.
