DIRECTIVE
ON STRENGTHENING NATIONAL UNITY WORK IN THE PERIOD OF MODERNIZATION AND INDUSTRIALIZATION
 OF THE COUNTRY
 
 
In recent years, Party committees at all levels, governments, and mass organizations from the central to local levels have focused on leading, directing, and organizing the implementation of national unity work, creating significant changes in awareness and responsibility throughout the political system and social consensus. The economic and social situation in ethnic minority and mountainous regions has seen comprehensive development; the poverty rate among ethnic minorities has decreased rapidly (averaging 4-5% annually); material and spiritual living conditions in ethnic minority areas have improved significantly; infrastructure construction and consolidation have been prioritized; housing, land for residence and production, and clean water supply have received attention; education, culture, and healthcare services have shown positive progress; the political system has been strengthened; and cadres from ethnic groups have been trained and developed, contributing to enhancing the effectiveness of national unity work.
However, ethnic and mountainous regions, especially remote, border, and island areas, still face many difficulties and challenges, including uneven educational levels and development among ethnic groups, particularly low quality human resources; high poverty rates in ethnic minority areas (in some places, over 50% of households are poor); limitations in the quality and effectiveness of education and training, and healthcare services; slow and uncoordinated infrastructure development, especially in transportation, irrigation, electricity, information, and other essential infrastructure; slow structural transformation of the economy and labor force, small-scale and fragmented production with low competitiveness, and continued hardships in people's lives.
National unity work is a task for the entire Party, people, and military, and the entire political system. To continue effectively implementing national unity work, mobilizing all resources to develop the economy and society quickly, sustainably, and stabilize society, and improve the living standards of ethnic minorities and mountainous regions during the period of industrialization, modernization, and integration, the Prime Minister instructs ministries, sectors, central agencies, and localities to implement the following tasks:
