3 OUTSTANDING INDICATORS IN ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT

Concluding the online meeting, Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee Nguyen Duc Trung assessed that, in the context of general difficulties in 2021 due to the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic, the workload is large but the results achieved in implementing the province's tasks are extremely positive. In particular, the province has been approved by the National Assembly Resolution No. 36 on piloting a number of specific mechanisms and policies on provincial development, thereby creating momentum and additional resources for the province's development in the coming period.

Achieving the above results requires the efforts, determination and endeavors of the entire political system at all levels, under the leadership and direction of the Provincial Party Committee, the close supervision of the Provincial People's Council, the flexible management of the Provincial People's Committee and the consensus of the business community and people.

After more than 2 months of implementing the spirit of Resolution 128 of the Government, the work of preventing and fighting the Covid-19 epidemic has achieved positive results. Although the number of infections is still quite high, the epidemic situation is being controlled, ensuring stable conditions for socio-economic development.
