National Assembly (NA) Chairman Tran Thanh Man has urged the NA's Council for Ethnic Affairs to adopt a more proactive, comprehensive and grassroots-oriented approach to monitoring developments in ethnic minority and mountainous areas, in order to provide timely, practical policy recommendations and help strengthen national unity and stability.

The realities of development are placing increasingly high demands on authorities at all levels—not only in terms of governance efficiency but also in their capacity for flexible adaptation, close engagement with the people, and timely resolution of issues arising at the grassroots level.
