To reach this year’s socio-economic development targets and ensure sustainable growth, PM Dung said the provinces should focus on getting over hurdles to production and business activities and boosting exports. 

Local authorities need to carefully consider the proposals and suggestions raised by businesses, particularly those related to the use of investment capital sourced from the state budget and government bonds.

The government leader asked the provinces to fulfill the yearly socio-economic development targets while making careful preparations for Party congresses at all levels scheduled for 2010. 
In the short-term, the provinces should make a great deal of effort to eliminate hunger, reduce poverty, quickly recover from natural disasters, prevent epidemics and improve district-level healthcare systems. 
Speeding up administrative reform, improving access to education for all students, especially those from poor families, building more dormitories for teachers and upgrading schools are also important tasks. 
PM Dung also praised the achievements the five provinces have recorded in the first seven months of the year.
