Concluding the conference, Deputy Prime Minister Tran Hong Ha emphasized that 2025 is the final year of the 5-year plan 2021-2025, so ministries, branches and localities focus on reviewing the targets and tasks of the whole year 5 to do better with the achieved and exceeded goals and targets, and at the same time focus on directing and synchronously implementing solutions to complete the 3 national target programs.

During the implementation of the revolution to rearrange and streamline the apparatus, especially merging the commune level and abolishing the district level, localities must not allow interruptions to affect the organization and implementation of these three national target programs.

Deputy Prime Minister Tran Hong Ha assigned the Ministry of Agriculture and Environment to promptly propose solutions for the Government to direct the acceleration of the implementation of the National Target Program on New Rural Development that localities are having difficulty with to ensure compliance with the set plan.

Assign the ministries in charge of these 3 national target programs to promptly evaluate the implementation process, results achieved, shortcomings, and limitations to conduct a summary of these 3 programs before June 30, 2025.
