This is an extraordinary session after the Provincial People's Council summarized its term, demonstrating the province's determination and synchronous administrative reform.
In the spirit of action, the Provincial People's Committee assigned the Department of Transport to preside over and coordinate with relevant units to research, survey, evaluate and plan the route and scale of the route.
