Furthermore, 296 district-level units across 58 provinces and centrally-run cities received recognition from the Prime Minister for their new-style rural building achievements, representing nearly 46% of the country's total.

As many as 22 provinces and centrally-run cities achieved the milestone of having all communes meet these standards. Among them, 15 had all communes and districts recognised as a rural area. The provinces of Nam Dinh, Dong Nai, Ha Nam, Hung Yen, and Hai Duong have been officially commended by the Prime Minister for their successful completion of new rural development tasks.

By the end of this year, it is anticipated that about 79-79.5% of communes nationwide will be certified for the status, or 99% of the target set for 2025.

To sustain this momentum, Minister of Agriculture and Rural Development Le Minh Hoan urged localities to further stimulate economic growth by capitalising on their unique advantages. The goal is to create strong agricultural products that can be developed into One Commune, One Product (OCOP) items and foster community-based tourism.
