Top legislator works with Soc Trang leaders, visits local Buddhist community
(VOVWORLD) - National Assembly Chairman Vuong Dinh Hue urged more efforts to develop Soc Trang province into a pivotal hub for agriculture, industry, services, logistics, and energy projects in the Mekong Delta, and to serve as a main gateway of the region to the East Sea through a connected transportation infrastructure system.

Working with local leaders on Monday, Chairman Hue said that a major problem facing Soc Trang and the Mekong Delta as a whole is poor transportation connectivity.
It is important to integrate coastal areas with the mainland, expedite infrastructure development, accelerate administrative reforms and human resource development, and lure more investment in agro-aquatic product processing, he said.
Visiting representatives of Soc Trang’s Buddhist community, Chairman Hue said ethnic minorities and religious followers are always an inseparable part of the Vietnamese ethic community.
He asked Buddhist dignitaries to continue joining hands with authorities to improve the livelihoods of the Khmer ethnic people.
