Concluding the conference, Provincial Party Secretary Nguyen Dac Vinh acknowledged the achievements. He emphasized: In any period, building a strong political base system must always be a top priority, creating a foundation for social stability and economic development.

To do that task well, it is necessary to promote the role of mass organizations, mass mobilization and the government must have a positive attitude towards the people. The government must be the one to serve the people, if there are problems or issues, they must be resolved in accordance with procedures and legal regulations.

In case the government is weak, it can increase the number of cadres at the grassroots level and in fact, in recent times, many cadres in the province and district, after being increased to localities, have promoted positive results.

Regarding the national defense and security tasks, he requested that the focus be placed on the militia and self-defense forces and attention be paid to the coordination of forces in the blocks, wards, towns and inter-commune clusters in the spirit of "4 on-site". The assessment and classification of clean and strong units must be more rigorous, close to the locality and clear, specific to each issue. If any locality has not achieved the standard, it is necessary to propose solutions to overcome it.
