“To implement the above contents, in recent times, the Bac Lieu Provincial Ethnic and Religious Affairs Committee and the People's Committees of the districts have proactively coordinated to regularly and widely disseminate propaganda work to help people in ethnic minority and mountainous areas understand the significance of the Program and the correct viewpoints of the Party and State on ethnic affairs in the current period.
