The 15th National Assembly on December 5 morning debated the investment policy for a proposed unified national target programme running through 2035 that would combine three existing programmes on new-style rural area development, sustainable poverty reduction, and socio-economic development in ethnic minority and mountainous areas, with the session broadcast live nationwide.

In the proposed investment policy for the national target programmes on new-style rural area development and sustainable poverty alleviation for the 2026–2035 period, one specific objective set for 2030 is to ensure that 100% of poor communes nationwide are lifted out of poverty.
