At the same time, it strongly promotes innovation, comprehensive digital transformation, investment in technology infrastructure application, building a digital, dynamic, civilised, and modern government, aiming towards a service-oriented administration.
It can be affirmed that, with the rich cultural identity of the Dao and Tay ethnic groups, along with post-merger land and labour potential, Quang La has the opportunity to form an ecological area for green agricultural and forestry production with high-tech application.
