To date, 3/36 tasks have been completed; planning for 9/11 provinces in the region has been approved.

The conference assessed that although the implementation of the Politburo's resolutions and the Government's Action Program has been more than 1 year and the Regional Coordination Council has just been established, with the strong direction of the Government and the Prime Minister, prioritizing concentrated resources, especially the central budget resources, ministries and localities in the region have thoroughly grasped the content, issued action plans, closely coordinated, and resolutely organized the implementation of the proposed tasks and solutions.
Basically, the socio-economy has gradually developed stably in a more sustainable direction. The quality of infrastructure in the Red River Delta has been increasingly improved, with 4/11 localities in the group of 10 provinces and cities with the best infrastructure in the country. The regional coordination system and institutions have been completed. The regional planning and 9/11 provincial planning have been completed as a foundation and orientation for attracting investment in the coming time.
National defense, political security, and social order and safety of localities are maintained stably. Foreign affairs are expanded in terms of both partners and cooperation content, focusing on economic diplomacy and investment promotion.
In addition, the region still has some difficulties in urban infrastructure, inter-regional environmental issues; science, technology and innovation are not really the driving force for development, regional linkage and coordination activities need more attention.

In addition, socio-cultural development has not met the needs; the unique cultural values of the region have not been promoted...
Pointing out 3 lessons learned during the implementation process, the Prime Minister emphasized that it is necessary to closely follow reality, creatively apply the Party's guidelines and policies, and the State's laws, in accordance with the conditions and circumstances of each locality and the whole region to effectively organize implementation; promote the spirit of self-reliance of each province and city but must closely and effectively link for common development of the whole region; have open policies and mechanisms, have smooth infrastructure, and have smart governance.
