Colonel Vo Thanh Chin, the permanent member of the provincial party committee and commander of the provincial military command, reported that the province has built the VND 57.405 trillion project, including more than VND 8 trillion from the province, under the Ministry’s direction to meet the socio-economic, cultural, defence and security development in the locality.
Being briefed on the unit situation and suggestions, General Cung highly appreciated the province’s proactiveness and laid stress on the importance and need of building this project in the Central Highlands, so that the defence potential would be further understood and standby forces would be mobilized whenever any unexpected combat happens.
The general asked the province to complete the project based on reality in the locality with specific plans to make it feasible.
