However, he noted that Can Tho’s development, including that of An Ninh commune, remains below its potential, especially since the city’s expansion following the recent administrative unit merger.
He urged continued efforts to promote the learning movement, ensure sustainable poverty reduction, particularly in remote areas and among the Khmer ethnic community, and strengthen grassroots development, underlining that once hamlets, communes and wards are strong, the city will be strong.
The N.A. leader called on the VFF Committee of Can Tho to innovate its operations, stay close to the people, and enhance mobilization efforts to care for policy beneficiaries, those who rendered service to the nation, and low-income households.
He emphasized that local officials, Party members, and mass organizations must serve as the core nucleus, guided by the principles of staying close to the people, close to the grassroots, and close to the digital space, while listening to the people, setting good examples, taking responsibility, and reporting results. They must also avoid formality, evasion or shirking duties, or acting beyond their functions.

On this occasion, the top legislator presented gifts to residents in Chau Thanh hamlet and Tum Nup Pagoda. The Can Tho municipal authorities awarded 20 scholarships to outstanding students with disadvantaged backgrounds. Meanwhile, Khmer dignitaries, policy beneficiary families, exemplary households, and disadvantaged Khmer families also received gifts.
In Chau Thanh hamlet, the VFF has played a crucial role in helping to maintain political stability and social order, reinforce solidarity among ethnic and religious communities, and encourage residents to contribute to socio-economic development.
Nguyen Huu Thien, head of the hamlet’s board for VFF affairs, said the board's coordination with local Party cells and mass organizations has yielded positive results in the campaign “All people unite to build new-style rural areas and civilized urban communities.” Currently, 1,078 of 1,119 households (98.2%) have been recognized as “Families of Culture,” and the hamlet is being considered for the “Hamlet of Culture” title.
Cultural preservation efforts have been promoted while policies of the Party, the State, and the locality have also been effectively disseminated.
