On April 8, the Chairman of the People’s Committee of An Giang Province, Ho Van Mung, signed Decision No. 1285/QD-UBND recognizing Mỹ Hòa Hưng commune as an island commune in An Giang Province. Mỹ Hòa Hưng covers a natural area of 19.64 square kilometers and has a population of 27,115. The entire natural area is a cu lao (island) with permanent residents living on an isolated island, with conditions similar to an island. It is nicknamed the ‘green pearl’ in the Hau River and is known as the homeland of President Ton Duc Thang, famous for Cu Lao Ong Ho. The commune offers potential for ecotourism development, with many cultural and historical sites, notably the Memorial Area of President Ton Duc Thang – a National Special Monument, preserving artifacts about his life and career. Most residents rely on agricultural production and some traditional crafts, small-scale trading, and other services; life for some residents remains challenging. Ly Huynh Nam, Chairman of Mỹ Hòa Hưng Commune People’s Committee, said recognizing Mỹ Hòa Hưng as an island commune will enable the area to access additional policies to support residents, cadres, civil servants, and public employees living and working there. In particular, when recognized as an island commune, residents will benefit from various policy measures, investment incentives, and favorable conditions to unleash the locality’s potential, accelerate socioeconomic development, education, healthcare, culture, national defense and security, and help the commune catch up with other communes in the province and improve living standards. To date, An Giang Province has two freshwater island communes recognized as island communes: Cu Lao Giêng and Mỹ Hòa Hưng.
