And the Resolutions passed by the Provincial People's Council at the session are an important legal basis for implementing those urgent and pressing contents,” said Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee Ho Quoc Dung.

Chairman of the Provincial People's Council Ho Quoc Dung also requested that immediately after the end of the session, the Provincial People's Committee and the Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee direct all levels, sectors and localities to focus on organizing and implementing with a proactive, creative, drastic and synchronous spirit to ensure that the Resolutions of the Provincial People's Council come to life and achieve practical results.

Of course, in this revolution, there are still many people with concerns, but we must be united and comply with the policies for the common development of the country.
