He said over the past more than nine years, as many as 4,665 communes have met criteria for new-style rural areas, accounting for 52.4 percent of the total while 109 district-level units, or 16.5 percent of the total, gained the status.
In eight centrally-run cities and provinces, all communes fulfilled all the criteria set by the programme, Cuong said.
On October 18 and 19, fact-finding trips to Nam Dinh, Thai Binh and Ha Nam provinces will be organised to learn about rural construction efforts while a ceremony will be also held to honour individuals and collectives in the emulation campaign “The whole nation joins hands to build new-style rural areas”.
The exhibition introduces achievements in the effort and outstanding products in the One Commune, One Product Programme from 63 cities and provinces, and several businesses.
