BASIS FOR ORIENTING AND FORMULATING POLICIES FOR AN EFFECTIVE AND SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT OF ETHNIC MINORITY AREAS IN VIETNAM

Tran Minh Duc

Abstract


Ethnic minorities in Vietnam live primarily in mountainous areas, which border a large area and account for three-quarters of the country's land area and play a very important strategic role in terms of politics, economy, national defense, and ecological environment. Vietnam's ethnic minorities have amassed a distinct and diverse national cultural treasure over thousands of years of creating and protecting the country. Long-held beliefs, practices, and traditions have given each ethnic group its own particular cultural identity, contributing significantly to the diversity and richness of Vietnamese culture. The formulation and implementation of appropriate policies and laws for ethnic minority areas is nothing more than the exploitation and promotion of all the country's potential to improve and raise the quality of people's lives; create the best conditions for ethnic minorities to escape poverty and backwardness; implement equality, respect, solidarity, and harmoniously settle relations between ethnic groups, helping each other to develop sustainably. The article provides some basis for effective and sustainable ethnic minority development policies.
