Expectations in historical times

Attending the ceremony in Van Hoa commune, Mr. Le Minh Tinh (Cham ethnic group) was present at the hall quite early. As a prestigious person in the Cham ethnic community in Hoa Ngai village, Mr. Tinh talked to many people in the village with a message of trust in the Central's decisions on merging Son Long, Son Dinh, Son Xuan communes into Van Hoa commune. Mr. Tinh expressed: "I think that merging communes into Van Hoa commune will help strengthen the political system. The merger of Phu Yen and Dak Lak provinces into the new Dak Lak is also a major policy of the Central, people like us are very supportive. When trade is connected, the goods and food strengths of the two localities have the opportunity to develop. People in Van Hoa commune feel that this is a historic moment to create momentum for the local socio-economic development."

In Suoi Trai commune, many people also joined in the bustling atmosphere of the province and the whole country when implementing the policy of merging the two-level local government. Mr. Ma Ping in Xay Dung hamlet said: This morning, I left all my work in the field to go to the commune to witness the moment of merging the province at the new headquarters of Suoi Trai commune. In general, the ethnic minorities in Suoi Trai commune are very unanimous and support the policy of 2-level government. Dak Lak province (old) is a locality with a large number of ethnic minorities, with a lot of experience in taking care of life, developing the economy as well as preserving and promoting the cultural values ​​of ethnic groups. Therefore, I believe that after the merger, the new government will continue to do this job well.

The announcement ceremony was also held solemnly in Van Hoa and Tay Son communes. Local authorities and people are very excited to participate in this historic moment of the nation; at the same time, they expect the new government to bring many benefits to the people.
