Assessing the results, delegates unanimously affirmed that the relocation of Dan Lai people to resettlement areas has fundamentally solved the problem of infrastructure, stabilized production and life. Initially, the risk of ethnic degradation was prevented, and the intellectual level and spiritual life of the people were improved. The work of protecting and developing forest capital has had clear changes, and border security has been maintained. However, the progress of surveying, project establishment and organization of the 2nd and 3rd phase of relocation of people from the core zone of Pu Mat National Park to new residences is still slow. The planning and project establishment for households staying in Co Phat and Bung villages (Mon Son commune) is still slow, affecting the construction of infrastructure. Backward customs are slow to be eliminated, the poverty rate is still high, and the project to preserve and promote the traditional cultural values ​​of the Dan Lai ethnic group has not been implemented...

Concluding the conference, comrade Le Xuan Dai requested relevant levels and sectors to continue to do a good job of propaganda to effectively implement the policies of the Party and the State. Focus on directing the acceleration of the progress of resettlement area construction projects; continue to survey and plan for stable settlement for 98 households living in the core zone of Pu Mat National Park. Request relevant departments and sectors to continue to establish component projects.
