He underlined the significance of the project to improve the operation efficiency of the council, asking participants to carefully discuss the scheme, ensuring its feasibility.

The NA Deputy Vice Chairman stressed that the council’s supervision programme should focus on the realisation of NA resolutions on the implementation of the three national target programmes on new-style rural area building in the 2021-2025 period, sustainable poverty reduction programme for the 2021-2025 period, and socio-economic development in mountainous and ethnic minority-inhabited areas for the 2021-2030 period.
