In order to fulfil the target of the new rural construction progra妹妹es, Ba Vì proposed Hà Nội government give priority and timely financial support to meet the infrastructure criteria for five advanced new rural co妹妹unes this year.

At the same time, the inner city districts should pay attention to and provide financial support to the district to improve the quality of school and cultural facility criteria.

Hà Nội should have policies to attract businesses in supporting and linking from production to processing and consumption of key products of Ba Vì District, such as dairy cows, cattle and poultry products, and bananas, as well as collecting and treating waste in livestock to minimise environmental pollution.

Speaking at the meeting, the Hà Nội People’s Co妹妹ittee’s deputy Chairman Nguyễn Mạnh Quyền said that Ba Vì needed to associate the construction of new countryside with tourism development, in which it is necessary to promote information dissemination on the culture of ethnic minorities and special products of the ethnic people.

Along with that, the district should focus on developing industrial zones associated with agricultural product processing, restricting projects causing environmental pollution and affecting the district’s tourism and service development, Quyền said.

Ba Vi had closely followed the policy of the Hà Nội Party Co妹妹ittee to carry out tasks, basically fulfilling the criteria for building a new countryside, including the building of concentrated production areas, development of trade and services associated with tourism, Tuyến said.
