PM calls for more attention to family planning

Hanoi (VNA) - Spotlighting a surge in the number of women having a third child since the beginning of the year, Prime Minister Nguyen Tan Dung has asked the entire government system to implement population and family planning policies.

He made the request at a conference on population and family planning in the
second half of the year held in Hanoi on July 18, stating the Government
always regards population and family planning as a key responsibility of the
state.

The PM said they are one of the important solutions in the country's
socio-economic development strategy and a primary solution for raising the
living standard of each person, family and broader society.

He demanded administrations at all levels reinforce leadership and
instructions on the matter, including running communication and education
campaigns, to better implement population and family planning measures.

The Government leader also mentioned revisions to the decree on population
and making the law on population relevant to fulfilling population
goals.-Enditem
