Hoa said that over the next five years, the district will concentrate on protecting and restoring My Son relics and developing infrastructure as well as human resources to promote tourism potential, in a bid to generate more jobs, reduce hunger and erase poverty.
Representatives at the ceremony urged the district authorities to expand the internet and mobile phone coverage in the district to attract more investors.
