Comrade Trinh Xuan Truong, Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee, Chairman of Lao Cai Provincial People's Committee spoke at the conference.

Speaking at the meeting, Mr. Trinh Xuan Truong, Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee and Chairman of the Lao Cai Provincial People's Committee, emphasized that Lao Cai and Yen Bai provinces share a long history of close ties and favorable natural conditions, rich in mineral resources. In particular, the two localities are located on the dynamic axis of the Red River. These are important premises, so when merging the two provinces, they must become a "three-horse carriage" and develop more strongly. The time to implement the province merger contents is still short, while the workload is large, so the Standing Committees of the Provincial Party Committees of the two provinces need to soon reach consensus in leadership and direction to implement the next tasks to ensure the progress of the plan set by the Central Government.

Comrade Secretary of Lao Cai Provincial Party Committee Trinh Xuan Truong expressed concern that when merging the new province, there will be communes about 300 km away from the provincial center, while the district-level government will be abolished, so it will be necessary to calculate how to manage the story effectively. The system of urban office facilities that are not set up as administrative centers also needs to be calculated to exploit and use effectively, avoid waste, and at the same time create maximum convenience for cadres, party members, civil servants... to work. Comrade Secretary of Lao Cai Provincial Party Committee said that the planning of the new provincial center needs to be carefully studied and calculated to promote effectiveness; the Standing Committees and Standing Committees of the Provincial Party Committees of the two provinces continue to uphold and promote their leadership and direction roles before, during and after the merger of the two provinces.

Comrade Tran Huy Tuan, Secretary of Yen Bai Provincial Party Committee spoke at the conference.

Comrade Tran Huy Tuan, Secretary of Yen Bai Provincial Party Committee, expressed his impression of the socio-economic development of Lao Cai province and highly appreciated the cooperation results achieved between the two provinces. He affirmed the need to effectively implement the arrangement and merger of administrative units to maximize the potential and advantages of localities; expand development space, optimize investment resources, enhance the competitiveness of the economy; increase unity in policy making; ensure continuity and sustainability in socio-economic development, maintain national defense and security, build the Party and the political system, towards the goal of rapid, comprehensive and sustainable development. He believed that with the consensus and close cooperation between the two provinces, the set goals will be achieved according to plan.
