The common objectives of these activities are not only driving a wedge and stirring disunity among ethnic minority groups, and between ethnic minorities and the Government, but also causing confusion among part of the ethnic minority groups to inject new "evil cults" and religions to them, disrupting political and social life, and destabilizing local security and order.
At the same time, the activities also aim to cause difficulties for the implementation of policies and orientations on socio-economic development, and security and defense in the areas, harming the effectiveness of state management measures of local authorities, said Ly.
The official underlined the need for authorized agencies and as well as local administrations to focus on popularizing the socio-economic development achievements and positive changes in rural and ethnic minority-inhabited areas, along with policies and law regarding socio-economic development and ethnic minority affairs, ensuring that ethnic minority communities understand the great attention, priority, and favorable conditions that the Party and State have given to narrowing down development gap, promoting equality and national and religious solidarity, and reinforcing the communities’ confidence in the Party, State, and local administrations.
Ly also highlighted the need to honor outstanding models and good examples set by those from ethnic minority groups in the movement to protect the national security and socio-economic development.
At the same time, it is necessary to expose the nature, plots, methods, and tricks of reactionary individuals and organizations targeting ethnic minority groups, as well as evil and illegal organizations under the cover of religions in ethnic minority areas, preventing ethnic communities from being misled, deceived, or enticed to participate in these organizations, said Ly, stressing the need to refute the arguments that divide national unity and incite secession and autonomy by hostile and reactionary forces.
