Hanoi (VNA) – Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh on June 22 chaired a national teleconference to speed up substandard housing eradication, key transport projects, and public investment disbursement.
The 3-in-1 event, connected with all the 63 provinces and centrally-run cities, consisted of the fifth meeting of the central steering committee for eradicating makeshift and dilapidated houses nationwide, the 18th meeting of the state steering committee for nationally important transport projects, and this year’s second meeting on the acceleration of public investment disbursement.
It gathered leaders of ministries, sectors, central agencies, localities, large enterprises, and banks.
In his opening remarks, PM Chinh said that the whole country is resolutely and promptly working on apparatus restructuring, especially reorganising provincial- and communal-level administrative units and deploying the two-tier local government model, to officially operate the new apparatus from July 1. In that context, the Party, State, and Government have set a growth target of at least 8% for 2025, creating momentum for double-digit growth in the next period and for efforts towards the two 100-year strategic goals for 2030 and 2045.
The whole country has exerted all-out efforts and reaped positive results, but stronger efforts and determination are required to achieve and surpass the set targets, especially in the eradication of makeshift and dilapidated houses nationwide, the acceleration of public investment disbursement, and the implementation of nationally important transport projects, he noted.
The Party has no other goal than firmly safeguarding national independence and sovereignty and bringing peace and prosperity to the people, the Government leader went on, emphasising the resolve to move forwards given Party’s directions, the Government’s unanimity, the National Assembly’s consensus, and the people’s support.
He asked officials to review implementation results of the programmes, identified difficulties and obstacles, and proposed measures for fulfilling the targets set by the Government./.
