The Provincial Party Secretary emphasized that after the group was established, it was important to make it a practical and effective forum for elected female representatives, honoring the intelligence, talent, courage and voice of the XV National Assembly and XVIII Provincial People's Council representatives in the parliament, society and both domestic and foreign affairs.

On that basis, agreeing with the goals and directions of activities in the Project to establish the Women's Delegates Group, the Provincial Party Secretary emphasized and noted a number of additional issues for the group's activities.

First of all, because it has just been established, the Group of Women Delegates of the National Assembly and Provincial People's Council for the 2021 - 2026 term needs to be well organized, well arranged, have clear regulations, specific programs and action plans to maintain effective operations. Along with that, in the immediate future, we should choose a few very precise, correct and accurate tasks to focus on and implement successfully.

The female delegates in the Group of Women Delegates of the National Assembly and Provincial People's Council, term 2021 - 2026, come from many different agencies and work units; each person has a different personality and a different department, so they need to exchange, share, understand each other, clearly assign and delegate tasks to promote the department's departments, and create an environment that encourages each person to participate in the group well.

Because it is newly established, the group also needs to learn from experience, especially from the National Assembly Women's Delegates Group established since the 12th term and some other provinces to improve operational efficiency; make good use of information technology to connect group members, as well as between the group and female delegate organizations at home and abroad.

The Provincial Party Secretary also suggested that the group focus on building the group's image and the image of each member of the group through improving capacity, qualifications, and in-depth research to cover the socio-economic situation of the country and the province; maintain the qualities of a people's representative; have a voice in the law-making process and on forums and parliaments of the National Assembly and the Provincial People's Council.

In particular, during the operation, it is necessary to focus on issues of women, children, gender equality; hot issues such as trafficking of women and children, gender imbalance; contributing to job creation, increasing income, and health care for women and children, especially girls.

“Your voice and preparations will build for you a beautiful image of the qualities of a people's representative who is close to, approaches, and is attached to the people, to convey all the thoughts and aspirations of the people to the National Assembly and Provincial People's Council forums,” the Provincial Party Secretary advised.

The head of the Provincial Party Committee also suggested that through its activities, the group needs to discover female factors not only in State management agencies but also in all areas of life such as: Labor, study, production, business... to coordinate with women's union members at all levels to guide, guide, help, encourage, promote the spirit of autonomy, creativity, and advancement of women; at the same time, through that, discover more female factors to introduce to organizations, businesses, and apparatuses to strengthen the team of female managers in all areas.

Also at the announcement ceremony, comrade Thai Thanh Quy requested the Standing Committee of the Provincial People's Council, leaders of the National Assembly Delegation, the Provincial People's Committee, the Provincial Vietnam Fatherland Front Committee and relevant agencies, departments and branches in the province to create all conditions for the group's activities to be effective, practical, in accordance with its principles, purposes and orientations.
