The implementation of the three national target programmes on building new-style rural areas; reducing poverty sustainably and boosting socio-economic development in ethnic minority-inhabited and mountainous areas have been done well and reaped sound achievements.

Speaking at the working session, Minister-Chairman of the Government Office Tran Van Son asked the province to speed up progress of key projects, including a section of Ninh Binh -Hai phong expressway and expansion of Cao Bo-Mai Son expressway section.

The province needs to maintain its high rankings related to administrative procedure reform and pay due attention to ensuring social welfare in the province, Son added.

As for the province's proposals, the official requested ministries and sectors to collect these petitions and reported to the Government and the PM for consideration so as to have solutions to solve difficulties, thus spurring socio-economic growth in the current period.

Previously, the delegation made a field trip to inspect production and business activities at Tam Diep cement plant (Tam Diep city) and CFG floating glass plant in Yen Khanh district.

After the inspection, Son spoke highly of these firms' efforts in production and business as well as ensuring stable incomes for laboures.

He expressed his hope that these businesses would continue stay united and make more concerted efforts to have effective production and business plans and expand consumption markets.

The official committed to report these enterprises' proposals to the Government and the PM so as to issue solutions to removing difficulties for enterprises in general and for those in export-import, and construction sectors in particular.
