Phu Tho develops advanced new-style rural areas while preserving cultural identity of Muong ethnic group
Lac Son commune in Phu Tho province, like many localities nationwide, has been restructuring and reorganizing its administrative apparatus toward greater efficiency to meet new socio-economic development requirements. Despite challenges following the merger, the commune’s Party Committee, authorities, and residents have maintained strong unity to achieve the goals set out in the local Party Congress Resolutions for 2020–2025 and 2025–2030. Among these, the national target program on new-style rural development is considered a key, long-term task linked with sustainable growth and preservation of the Muong ethnic group’s cultural identity.
