PM works with Ben Tre province

VOV.VN - Prime Minister Nguyen Xuan Phuc and officials from Ben Tre province met in the government office to review social economic development and measures to cope with saline intrusion.

The provincial leaders asked for government support in several irrigation projects and water supplies for local people.

The cabinet leader said the province should link economic restructuring with infrastructure development, water management and climate change response.

He appreciated the idea of building a startup ecosystem in Ben Tre, saying the model will contribute to reducing poverty, improving management in State-run agencies, and supporting farmers and entrepreneurs to do business.

“Construction projects should take into account salt intrusion and application of science and technology in plants and livestock industries. People’s awareness on climate change should be raised to change cultivation habits. The province should look for diverse sources of funding without exclusively relying on state budget," he said.
