Son briefed the delegation on socio-economic development in the region and the lives of local residents, who include more than 1 million Khmer ethnic people.
Son stated that the Vietnamese Party and State have been always paid due attention to developing the economy and improving the living conditions for the nation’s ethnic minorities, as well as assisting them in maintaining and preserving their cultural treasures and heritage.
Son also informed the guests that the number of poor ethnic families in the southwestern region has been steadily reducing and that their children are provided with a decent standard of education.
