Building new-style rural area in Vietnam: 15-year achievements and orientation to 2035

Abstract

   Vietnam's rural area is home to the majority of the population and is also the space that preserves the national cultural soul. Since early days of independence, the idea of ​​building a new life for the people has been formed, at that time the rural population accounted for 90%. By 2024, this rate has decreased to about 62% due to urbanization. However, rural area, agriculture and farmers still play a strategic role in the cause of building and defending the fatherland. After many pilot steps, in 2010, the National Target Program on Building New-Style Rural Area was officially implemented nationwide. After 15 years, the Program has created comprehensive and profound changes in the rural area. Entering a new period, new-style rural area is expected to open up a larger scale, accompanying the era of national development.
