This is a nationwide race in which all localities have to run as fast as possible, he stressed, requiring each department and branch to take drastic measures and affirm its role and responsibility in the implementation of PAR indicators and the effectiveness of public administration. This is also a condition to contribute to the successful implementation of the province's socio-economic development targets in the coming time, he added./.
