Prime Minister Nguyen Tan Dung has given the green light to a master plan on environmental protection in craft villages from now until 2030.
According to the plan, environmental pollution will be comprehensively tackled in the 47 most seriously polluted craft villages nationwide in the next two years.
The addressing of pollution there will also go hand in hand with a national programme targeting pollution mitigation and environmental improvement in the 2012-2015.
In the next 5 years, facilities causing environmental pollution are expected to be removed from residential communities.
Vietnam has about 3,500 traditional craft villages, 1,000 of which now need financial support to deal with environmental pollution.
