Hai Phong (VNA) - Prime Minister Nguyen Xuan Phuc met with voters from the northern port city of Hai Phong on May 7-8.

Talking with constituents from Do Son, An Lao, Tien Lang, and Vinh Bao districts, the PM confirmed to do his utmost to improve national socio-economic management and continue building and promulgating new policies to increase labour productivity and facilitate business operation.

The Government will spare no efforts to control public debts and handle bad ones while curbing inflation and promoting the building of new-style rural areas to improve farmers’ living standards, he said, adding that measures will be taken to reduce poverty in a sustainable manner and uphold cultural identities.

In the foreseeable future, it is necessary to enact solutions to cope with climate change and address drought’s consequences in the central and Central Highlands, saltwater intrusion in the southwestern region, and abnormal massive fish deaths in the central region, he stressed.

The Government will pay special attention to ensuring food safety and hygiene, protecting public healthcare, reforming institution and helping business to remove difficulties in the name of the country’s socio-economic development goals, he added.
