Comrade Vi Van Khang was elected as secretary. Comrade Vi Van Khang's house then became the meeting place of the cell to discuss many important Party matters. Photo: Thanh Cuong

The activities of the Mon Son Party Cell, especially the demonstration organized by the people on the night of August 9, 1931, demonstrated the steadfast solidarity of the Montagnards and Kinh people in the struggle for national liberation under the leadership of the Party. Photo: Thanh Cuong

The delegation visited the brocade weaving model in Lang Xieng village, Mon Son commune. The brocade weaving profession in Lang Xieng village has existed for a long time. At one stage, the brocade weaving profession here was at risk of disappearing. To restore the traditional craft village, the government and local people have made many efforts to promote the weaving profession effectively, creating sustainable livelihoods for households.

To help people have capital for production, Mon Son commune has proactively worked with the district and the Social Policy Bank to create conditions for organizations and individuals to borrow capital to buy raw materials. In particular, the government has also encouraged individuals with conditions to organize production groups and cooperatives to professionalize the weaving profession. Photo: Thanh Cuong

Since 2014, after being recognized as a village with a profession by the People's Committee of Con Cuong district, the brocade weaving profession in Lang Xieng has had a new development; weavers have been trained properly, granted professional certificates, creating many types of products such as: scarves, skirts, shirts... with rich and unique motifs and patterns that are known and favored by many domestic and foreign tourists.

Maintaining and developing the brocade weaving craft in Lang Xieng village and other localities of Con Cuong district is contributing to preserving the traditional culture of the Thai ethnic group. In addition, it also creates more jobs and increases income for the people. After visiting models of preserving and promoting ethnic cultural identity in Mon Son commune, the delegation visited and learned about the homestay and community tourism model in Nua village, Yen Khe commune (Con Cuong).
