In the past time, with the close direction of the Executive Committee, the Standing Committee of the District Party Committee, local Party committees and authorities have concretized and promptly implemented the directives of higher levels, thereby achieving many positive results.

The local economy continues to grow; the cultural and social fields have many positive changes; national defense, security, and social order and safety are maintained stably.

During the working program, the delegation inspected many important locations such as: Bai Ngu wharf, Bai Cay Men reservoir, Cay Men beach (An Son commune); Nam Du commune reservoir; Dinh Ong Nam Hai relic, Bai Bac wharf (Lai Son commune); Kien Hai district martyrs memorial ; tourist attractions in Hon Tre commune; and visited and worked with armed forces units stationed in the area.

Speaking at the meeting, Provincial Party Secretary Nguyen Tien Hai highly appreciated the results that Kien Hai district has achieved.

Despite difficult geographical conditions, inconvenient transportation between islands, and many challenges facing people's lives, the locality has paid attention to improving people's lives, especially increasing their income.
