Bac Kan, July 7 (VNA) – Party General Secretary Nguyen Phu Trong has suggested the northern mountainous province of Bac Kan seek ways to mobilise resources from the society to invest in transportation infrastructure development, thus propelling socio-economic growth and connecting with regional localities.
At a working session with provincial leaders on July 7, the Party leader hailed efforts made by Bac Kan’s Party Organisation, authorities and people in implementing Party resolutions as well as in improving socio-economic situation and locals’ living conditions.
He noted that up to 90 percent of local residents have to date accessed clean water, while annual per capital income has increased to 26 million USD, doubling the figure five years ago.
Forest coverage has reached 70 percent. Bac Kan set to have eight additional communes recognised as new-style rural areas this year, raising the total number to 10.
Stressing the important strategic location of Bac Kan and its advantages in land and climate, General Secretary Trong said that the province holds great development potential and needs to take right actions to fully tap it.

Earlier the same day, the Party chief visited the mountainous commune of Si Binh in Binh Thong district, which is home to Tay, Dao and Nung ethnic minority groups.
