However, Nghe An does not only determine economic growth simply but must also be associated with social progress, in every policy, in every step; social security work is always focused on, mutual love and mutual assistance movements continue to be widely launched.

To achieve these results, the core cause can be clearly seen as the internal solidarity and unity from the Standing Committee, the Provincial Party Committee Standing Committee, the Provincial Party Executive Committee, spreading down to the grassroots level. That solidarity and unity is expressed by the province's decisions and political determination in focusing on solving bottlenecks and weak issues to serve the socio-economic development process; creating positive changes in leadership and direction with focus, key points, proactively and resolutely performing tasks.
