[Vnbiz] Rural Development Strategy

[Tran Dinh Hoanh]

Dear chi Phuong Nga & CACC,

Thanks, chi Phuong Nga, for the info.  I am happy to hear that MARD has
started to move in a comprehensive approach in rural development.  Chi
Phuong Nga, rural development is such a big thing because around 70 percent
of the Vietnamese population live in the rural area.   We are not talking
about a small group.  And if we compare the development rates between the
cities and the countryside in the last decade or so, the countryside--the
major part of the population--is really behind.  We really need to turn out
attention outward, from the city out into the countryside.

Everyone of us just has to ask him/herself a question:  "If I have a teenage
nephew or niece in the countryside, and if I have enough financial means to
bring him/her into the city, would I bring him/her into the city or would I
leave him/her in the countryside?"  Our answer to this question will tell us
what the real problem is.

In any event, chi Phuong Nga, if you could regularly inform us of what ISG
and MARD are doing, that would be so helpful.

Thanks, sister.  Have a great day!

Hoanh
