Mr. Do Xuan Truong, Vice Chairman of Binh Lieu District People's Committee, said: One of the biggest goals of 2025 is to increase people's income to 100 million VND/person. The district has no more poor and near-poor households according to the province's multidimensional poverty standards for the period 2023-2025. To do that, it is necessary to continue to seek support from the Central Government and the province with resolutions and specific support policies for mountainous, border and ethnic minority areas to invest in a synchronous, modern, interconnected and comprehensive infrastructure system, promoting regional and intra-regional linkages, meeting the requirements of socio-economic development associated with ensuring national defense and security in the area. At the same time, it is necessary to maximize all local potentials and strengths such as rich cultural identity, beautiful nature and bilateral border gates to develop tourism and border trade.
