Vice President of the Vietnam Fatherland Front Central Committee Le Ba Trinh welcomes Tra Vinh Khmer prestigious residents

Vice President of the Vietnam Fatherland Front (VFF) Central Committee Le Ba Trinh hosted a reception in Hanoi on August 18 for a delegation of 35 prestigious Khmer residents from the southern province of Tra Vinh.

The VFF leader praised the senior citizens’ role as a bridge to disseminate the Party and State’s laws and policies and report public aspirations to the Party, State and VFF.

He also took the occasion to urge Khmer residents – almost all followers of Theravada Buddhism – to fulfill both their civic and religious duties and maintain ethnic identity.

Kim Hong Danh, deputy head of the provincial Ethnic Department updated the host on the local socio-economic development and the outcomes of Party and State policies on ethnic affairs.

Khmer community in Tra Vinh mostly lives on agriculture, he said, adding that the province now has a facelift thanks to road infrastructure enhancements.

Khmer guests, for their part, urged the VFF Central Committee to ask for more State incentives benefiting ethnic minority groups.
