Affirming the youth’s role
Due to many different causes, a large number of people living in border and maritime border areas of Nghe An province are facing many difficulties in their lives. In addition, rural roads and civil projects in residential areas in the border areas are degraded. These factors have exerted negative effects on the local socio-economic development and the quality of life of local people.
