In the coming time, the Department will continue to research and advise on planning to preserve, restore and promote the value of national relics, especially Hoa Lai Tower and Po Klong Garai Tower; advise on the Project to preserve and promote the value of Cham pottery art as well as intangible heritages recognized by UNESCO.

Answering the question of the delegates, the Director of the Department of Culture, Sports and Tourism said: The implementation of Resolution No. 13 of the Provincial People's Council has encountered many difficulties and obstacles in the past; in which the biggest obstacle is the funding source, which requires beneficiaries to have counterpart capital and will only be supported after organizations and individuals have completed 100% of the project. Many organizations and individuals still face many difficulties and do not have counterpart capital when implementing. Therefore, in the coming time, the Department will coordinate with relevant departments, branches and localities to continue to propose the Provincial People's Council to adjust the resolution in the direction that the state budget must advance capital to the people, accompany the people, contribute to promoting the rapid development of community tourism, exploiting and promoting the unique characteristics of ethnic minority and mountainous areas to attract tourists.

Questioning the Department of Agriculture and Rural Development, delegate Nguyen Thanh Hai, Provincial People's Council Delegation No. 7 raised the issue: From 2017 to now, the Provincial People's Council has passed 14 resolutions on the policy of converting forest use purposes to other purposes to implement 14 projects/58.7796ha. Up to now, there are still 2 projects/17.71ha that have not completed the procedures for converting purposes and 7 projects/5.6291ha that have not converted all forest use areas. What solutions do the functional sectors have to effectively implement the resolution of the Provincial People's Council?

Responding to this issue, Mr. Dang Kim Cuong, Director of the Department of Agriculture and Rural Development, said: Because some projects have small forest plantation areas, they are under the authority of the National Assembly and the Government, so they must be submitted to the National Assembly and the Prime Minister for decision; in addition, there are problems related to mechanisms, policies and procedures from the central government, so the implementation of the resolution has not been as effective as expected. To overcome this, the department will advise the province to propose to relevant central ministries and branches to make appropriate adjustments soon. In addition, project investors are required to conduct careful surveys during the design and construction process.

Delegate Le Kim Hiep, Delegate Group No. 8 of the Provincial People's Council, asked: The dredging and clearing of waterways in recent times has encountered many difficulties and obstacles in terms of resources, implementation procedures, and overlapping legal regulations in dredging socialization, causing great impacts on travel and fishing activities, causing frustration among fishermen. What solutions does the relevant sector have to ensure this is overcome?

Regarding this issue, the Director of the Department of Agriculture and Rural Development said: In recent years, the Department has advised the Provincial People's Committee to call for dredging of fishing ports in the form of socialization combined with recovery of dredged products. However, the dredging volume has not met the requirements according to the design documents, affecting the circulation, reception and mooring of ships and boats. Therefore, the Department continues to advise the Provincial People's Committee to report and ask for opinions from the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee on the implementation of the project of dredging fishing ports in the form of socialization combined with recovery of dredged products. Up to now, the Dong Hai fishing port channel is being dredged by Phuong Thao Nguyen Company; the dossier on dredging the Ninh Chu fishing port channel is being submitted to the Department of Planning and Investment for the investor selection plan; Ca Na fishing port is being implemented by the Management Board of Agriculture and Rural Development Investment Projects as a regional storm shelter anchorage area project.
