He made the compliment while meeting with 68 people who are representatives of outstanding cooperatives and cooperative groups, along with farmers with inventions in agricultural production in Hanoi on November 13.

President Quang highly valued effective activities of cooperatives and cooperative groups as they have connected farmers’ production outcomes with businesses and the market, thereby ensuring sustainable agricultural production and improving the competitiveness of Vietnamese farm produce.
The industrialisation and modernisation of agriculture and rural areas are an important task during the industrialisation, modernisation and international integration of the country, he said, assuring the Party and States’ attention to this issue.
He expressed his hope that the delegates will continue promoting their attainments and become the most active factor in the common efforts to successfully realise the Party and State’s policies on agriculture, farmers and rural areas.
