The government has vowed to further protect ethnic cultural diversity and boost the livelihood of ethnic groups, as it outlined plans for 1,000 ethnic villages to be protected in the next three years.

A guideline issued by the State Ethnic Affairs Commission on Monday, said that the government will prioritize the protection and improvement of 1,000 ethnic villages nationwide, in which the infrastructure and livelihood of the people will be improved and the culture of the villages will be protected.

The ethnic villages included in the guideline must have at least 50 households, and more than 30 percent of residents must be from an ethnic background.

In the next three years, the government will ensure the delivery of drinking water, electricity, roads and telecommunications into those villages, and the villagers should see an increase in personal income.
