Prime Minister Nguyen Tan Dung on July 2 met voters in An Duong district
in the northern port city of Hai Phong to brief them on the
outcomes of the recent fifth session of the 13th National Assembly and
listen to their opinions and proposals.
The voters expressed
their delight with the country’s socio-economic situation, which was
improved in the first six months of this year despite the difficult
global economy.
Inflation was controlled, the macro-economy
was kept stable and the growth rate rose, while social welfare was
ensured and external relations activities were eventful, they said.
They gave their opinions on the draft revised Land Law and suggested
that the Government should work out adjustments to the agricultural
service co-operative model as well as the new-style rural area building
programme.
They also voiced their hope that the Government will
cut the lending interest rate for poor people and pay more attention to
staff in nursery schools.
Highly valuing the precious feedback
from the voters, PM Dung affirmed that the Government will continue
exerting efforts to fulfil all tasks and targets that the Communist
Party of Vietnam, National Assembly and Government set earlier this
year. He called for the joint efforts and consensus of the whole country
and people of Hai Phong in particular.
He said that through
the revised Land Law, the Government will increase supervision to avoid
unfinished projects, while developing the agricultural service
co-operative model to suit the specific situation of each locality.
The PM stressed that the programme of building new-style rural areas,
which specifies the Government policy of agricultural modernisation and
industrialisation, is a national task requiring the combined efforts of
the Government and every person in Vietnam.
He also confirmed
that the Government will direct sectors and ministries to solve voters’
concerns about health insurance for farmers, a lower lending interest
rate for the poor and the need for more supporting policies for nursery
school teachers and staff.
On the occasion, PM Dung also asked
Hai Phong city to accelerate important infrastructure projects,
especially the clearance of land to make way for the Hanoi-Hai Phong
highway project.-VNA
