Prime Minister targets water crisis
Speaking at the session to recommend targets for the committee in Hanoi on 19 April, Prime Minister Nguyen Xuan Phuc said, “We can’t blame lack of capital for not ensuring enough fresh water for our residents.” Phuc ordered the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development to take measures to assist farmers in the Mekong Delta and Central Highlands – the two regions most severely affected by the historic once-in-a-century drought – to store fresh water for daily life and production.
