projects in Hoa Binh, accounting for 16 percent of the total assigned capital.

Concluding
the conference, PM Phuc requested ministries, central agencies and localities
to seriously adhere to the Government’s directions by thoroughly dealing with
existing problems and obstacles facing major projects and stepping up
disbursement in potential ones.
