At the conference, there were 19 opinions from voters reflecting their thoughts and aspirations to the National Assembly delegates.

Concerned about the implementation of Resolution 6 of the Central Committee (term XII) on streamlining the State administrative apparatus, Secretary of the Party Committee of Dien Lam commune Dau Xuan Huong said that according to the roadmap, Dien Lam commune will reduce from 25 hamlets to 11 hamlets.

However, Dien Lam is a commune that achieved new rural standards in 2016. During the process of building new rural areas, the locality and people contributed to building the infrastructure of the hamlet cultural houses. If the communes and hamlets were merged, there would be a waste of infrastructure for the office and hamlet cultural houses. At the same time, the restructuring of the staff apparatus would face many difficulties.

The Party Secretary of Dien Lam commune also expressed concerns about the issue of job creation for rural workers. Mr. Huong cited that Dien Lam commune currently has 1,800 workers working in localities in the province, 350 people working abroad, and 750 workers working in Laos.

"Most of the young labor force works far away, so it is very difficult to mobilize local forces when urgent matters arise. People want their superiors to have solutions to attract investment, build industrial clusters to create jobs for local workers, and reduce the labor load flowing to big cities," Mr. Huong proposed.

Regarding the issue of attracting investment, Chairman of the Fatherland Front Committee of Dien Truong Commune Chu Anh Duong said that in order to attract investment from businesses, localities need to pay attention to policies and regimes for businesses, especially having clean land for businesses, investing in infrastructure and mechanisms to "attract" businesses to bring industry to the village.

In addition, Dien Chau voters proposed issues related to land management, strict management of social networks; mechanisms and policies for agricultural development, supplementing the national target program on clean water in rural areas, investing in internal irrigation works; improving the quality of grassroots cadres...

Clarifying issues of concern to voters, regarding the content of the Phung Chi Kien Historical Relic Site Restoration Project, Vice Chairman of Dien Chau District People's Committee Ha Xuan Quang informed that the project has been assigned by the Provincial People's Committee to the Department of Culture, Sports and the Department of Finance to promptly speed up the project's progress.

Affirming the policy of merging hamlets and communes, this is the correct policy of the Party and the State. Accordingly, Dien Chau district will streamline from 39 communes and towns to 9 communes and towns. Mr. Ha Xuan Quang said that the project will be implemented according to the roadmap from now until 2030. Therefore, localities need to clearly understand the policy, propagate and guide people to understand and agree to implement it.

"Regarding the difficulties in building industrial clusters, in the past 2 years the district has attracted 8 projects to the area. Currently, the district is focusing on building an industrial cluster in Dien Doai commune with a scale of 5-10 hectares and an industrial cluster in the south of the district with a scale of about 50 hectares. The construction of industrial clusters not only attracts workers in that commune but also in other localities in the region and districts when there is a need" - Vice Chairman of Dien Chau District People's Committee affirmed.
