Hanoi (VNA) – A delegation of National Assembly deputies from thesouthern province of Ba Ria – Vung Tau led by permanent Deputy Prime Minister Pham Binh Minh met local voters online on October 8, ahead of the second session of the 15th legislature.

Speaking at the event, Minh informed voters about thecountry’s socio-economic performance in the past nine months, including the fightagainst COVID-19 pandemic.

He said Vietnam has so far basically controlled the pandemic,especially in southern localities like Ho Chi Minh City, Mekong Delta provinces andBa Ria-Vung Tau.

One of the measures that the Vietnamese Party, State andGovernment have paid due attention to is rapid COVID-19 vaccine coverage. Over50 million doses of vaccines have to date arrived in Vietnam. Between now andthe year’s end, Vietnam could have 40-60 million more doses to vaccinate about 80percent of its population aged above 18, he said.

Ba Ria-Vung Tau also sent a proposal to the Government seekingthe supply of more vaccnes to the locality. On September 29, it received some300,000 doses from the Health Ministry, which are being given to residents.

Voters at the event suggested stepping up vaccination,expanding priority groups eligible for early vaccination, ensuring publicity andtransparency in providing financial assistance for those hit by the pandemic,and delivering timely support for affected firms and business households.

Minh also pledged to report their aspirations to the legislatureand Government, thus helping them achieve the set targets./.
