Comrade Duong Quoc Trong, General Director, spoke at the meeting. |
Speaking at the meeting, comrade Duong Quoc Trong highly appreciated Nghe An's efforts in recent times, especially in consolidating the organizational apparatus as well as in advising the province to issue policies and regimes related to population activities. However, given the current difficulties that the province's population sector is facing, especially the high rate of third-child births, he requested that in the coming time, Nghe An needs to step up propaganda and mobilization to change people's awareness and behavior. In addition, it is necessary to promote the provision of population and family planning services, clearly defining the responsibilities of population officers and population specialists when the number of people violating population policies in the locality increases. He also pledged to continue to support Nghe An with some free equipment and contraceptive devices.
