The PM issued instructions after blue ear pig disease recurred in some central localities threatening pig raising farms. In addition Streptococcus suis – a type of bacteria that causes clinical diseases in pigs – killed two people in Quang Nam province.In the instructions, Dung also asked the Fatherland Front Committee and relevant ministries and agencies to heed and implement Party and State policies supporting social policy beneficiaries and disadvantaged people living below the poverty line, particularly in remote areas.
He urged the Ministry of Public Security, the Ministry of Transport, and local authorities to enforce traffic regulations and ease congestion on key routes into big cities and the venues for large festivals.
The PM also asked the State Bank of Vietnam (SBV) to adjust interest rates, settle bad debts, and accelerate the bank restructuring process.
