Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs Pham Binh Minh and a delegation of NA deputies from Thai Nguyen Province attended a meeting with voters in Phu Binh District.

Speaking at the event, Minh, who is also a Politburo member, informed voters about the important resolutions that were passed at the recently-closed NA’s sitting, including resolutions approving the Free Trade Agreement between Vietnam and the European Union (EVFTA), the EU-Vietnam Investment Protection Agreement (EVIPA), and the accession to Convention 105 on Abolition of Forced Labour endorsed by the International Labour Organisation, which mark a period of comprehensive and extensive integration in the international community by Vietnam, opening up new development opportunities and contributing to raising Vietnam's position in the international arena.

In response to recommendations from Phu Binh voters, Minh said that the target programme for ethnic minorities has always been given special attention by the Party, State and NA, especially in the 2021-2030 period, with total capital for the implementation of the programme reaching over VND414 billion.

She praised the province for the effective prevention and control of COVID-19, as well as for ensuring national defence and security and maintaining local socio-economic development.
