The view at the meeting.

At the meeting, the participants stressed the gained results while discussing to identify some shortcomings such as the growth inequality among the areas and ethnic groups, the high poverty rate of the ethnic minorities taking 35.9 percent of the total poor households in the province and late implementation of the Central’s guidance document to the localities.
