Chinh urged the city to work out prompt policies to tap local potential of land, human resources, and historical tradition. The Prime Minister said, ‘The Mekong Delta and Can Tho city in particular need to evaluate the local transportation system with focus on Can Tho city. It’s important to develop internal waterways because it’s a strength of the city and the region. In addition, we need to invest in road transportation and develop expressways. The government is mobilizing local resources to build a highway connecting Can Tho and Ca Mau and another highway from Can Tho to Cambodia.’

The Prime Minister asked the local Party Committee and administration to work closely with social organizations and the public to effectively prevent the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic and ensure safety for the upcoming elections of the 15^th National Assembly  and all-level People’s Councils.
