The whole province of Dien Bien currently has 45 commune-level administrative units (42 communes, 3 wards) with 1,447 villages, hamlets, and residential groups. The average population in 2025 is estimated at 667,417 people, with 19 ethnic groups living together, of which ethnic minorities account for over 82%. This reality poses a problem for how to gather, unite, and promote the strength of each citizen.
According to Mr. Mua A Vang - Alternate Member of the Party Central Committee, Chairman of the Vietnam Fatherland Front Committee of Dien Bien province, the key is to arouse the spirit of solidarity through specific actions, solving the most urgent problems of the people.
According to Mr. Vang, in recent times, ethnic minorities in the area have united, actively worked, produced, escaped poverty, and stabilized their lives.
The Provincial Vietnam Fatherland Front Committee and its member organizations, from the province to the grassroots level, have become a solid bridge, bringing the "P Party's spirit" closer to the "people's heart". People's trust in the Party and government has been mainly strengthened by the results of "seeing and hearing" right in the locality.
In particular, the program to eliminate temporary and dilapidated houses has created a strong impression, becoming a movement spreading throughout the localities.
"Hundreds of officers and soldiers of the armed forces, union members and association members did not mind the hardships, bringing materials, rice and salt to the villages to help people build new houses" - Mr. Vang said.
Accordingly, by June 20, 2025, the whole province had completed and handed over 835/835 houses 100%) to poor households with a total implementation cost of over 87 billion VND.
It is the strength of solidarity that has helped Dien Bien overcome the challenges of harsh nature, overcome difficulties to restore and develop the socio-economy - Chairman of the Vietnam Fatherland Front Committee of Dien Bien province emphasized.
Spreading movements and campaigns
Not only stopping at "resettlement", the spirit of solidarity was aroused by the Provincial Vietnam Fatherland Front Committee through a series of other patriotic emulation movements, all aimed at the goal of "losing a career".
Accordingly, the campaign "All people unite to build new rural areas, civilized urban areas" has changed the face of many localities, people actively work, produce to escape poverty, and stabilize their lives.The campaign "Vietnamese people prioritize using Vietnamese goods" also helps products and goods have a foothold, creating sustainable livelihoods.
In particular, the movement "The whole country joins hands for the poor" - leaving no one behind", activities to mobilize the "for the poor" Fund and social security work have been widely implemented.
According to Mr. Vang, thanks to the efforts of movements and campaigns, ethnic minorities have become increasingly aware of their role as subjects. People not only unite to escape poverty, but are also "lifelines" in preserving and promoting unique national cultural identity, and are also the core force to protect national security and firmly protect national border sovereignty.
"To that common achievement, there are great and persistent contributions from the Fatherland Front and its member organizations, from the province to the grassroots. The Fatherland Front Committee has really played a good role in bridging, gathering, listening and reflecting the thoughts and aspirations of the people, while arousing potential strength in each person - Mr. Mua A Vang emphasized.
