responsibility among leaders of agencies and units. He also told relevant ministries
and sectors to work with Hoa Binh to devise solutions to outstanding problems
or report difficulties to the Government and the Prime Minister for settlement.

flowers to congratulate the minister on the Vietnam Science and Technology Day,
