Nguyen Van Dung, who come from the northern city of Hai Duong.
Dr Duong Quoc Trong, director of the General Office for Population
and Family Planning said that in 1989, after a comprehensive population
survey was conducted, Viet Nam's population was predicted to reach 90
million by 2002 and 105 million in 2010.
But it wasn't until today that Viet Nam's population reached 90
million, thanks to the country's efforts to curb population growth. –
