Concluding the session, the Provincial Party Secretary and Head of the Provincial National Assembly Delegation, Nguyen Khac Than, assessed that, despite facing many difficulties, the socio-economic development indicators in the first four months of the year showed many positive signs. In particular, the province's investment environment has seen many positive changes and has created confidence for major investors.

Besides the achievements, the Provincial Party Secretary and Head of the Provincial National Assembly Delegation also pointed out existing shortcomings and limitations. These include low disbursement rates for investment capital. Administrative reform has shown progress, but only fundamental changes have been seen in key projects.

The review and reduction of administrative time, costs, and procedures still face many challenges. The progress of some projects and works remains slow. The remediation of natural disasters and the construction of resettlement areas for people are also lagging behind.

According to the Provincial Party Secretary, the reasons for these shortcomings and limitations are due to the low level of responsibility of the leaders in some localities and units. In many localities, the Party Secretary is completely delegating work to the government. The concretization of directives from the Provincial Party Committee and the Provincial People's Committee, especially the Directives of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee, at the grassroots level is still slow and not decisive enough.

Emphasizing future goals, the Provincial Party Secretary and Head of the Provincial National Assembly Delegation, Nguyen Khac Than, stated that the province is determined to achieve a growth rate of over 10% in the second quarter of 2026.

To achieve this goal, decisive action is needed in land clearance and administrative reform, with a spirit of genuine service, addressing issues effectively, efficiently, and quickly.

Focus on removing obstacles for investors and businesses. Accelerate the disbursement of public investment capital. In particular, focus on reviewing, evaluating, and publicly criticizing units and localities with low disbursement rates. Allocate capital to units and localities with sufficient capacity.

Simultaneously, focus on reviewing and resolving outstanding and long-standing projects. Accelerate the implementation of key projects. In May 2026, organize the groundbreaking ceremony for two key projects: the Quynh Lap LNG thermal power plant and the Vinh - Thanh Thuy expressway. Promote growth in the agricultural sector, striving for a growth rate of 5% or higher; review and accelerate the progress of overcoming the consequences of natural disasters, storms, and floods.

The Provincial Party Secretary and Head of the Provincial National Assembly Delegation, Nguyen Khac Than, also requested the vigorous implementation of resolutions and directives from the Central Government and the province. He urged continued efforts to improve the effectiveness and efficiency of local government operations at both levels. He also called for accelerating the implementation of the Project on Construction, Repair, Renovation, and Upgrading of Commune-level Office Buildings and Public Housing.

Promoting tourism activities, concluding the school year, and conducting entrance exams for 10th-grade students. Strengthening public service and resolving complaints and denunciations at the grassroots level.
