Hanoi (VNA) – The Government has proposed the National Assembly allow the application of additional special mechanisms toremove difficulties and obstacles facing national target programmes, thus speedingup their progress in the coming time, according to Minister of Planning andInvestment (MPI) Nguyen Chi Dung.

The three underway national target programmes focus on socio-economicdevelopment in ethnic-inhabited and mountainous areas, sustainable povertyreduction, and new-style rural area building.
