At the end of the dialogue conference, Vice Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee Le Ngoc Hoa concluded the following contents:

The conference received 32 opinions from the people of Phuc Dien hamlet, related to 4 main groups of issues. Through this, the province will continue to have solutions, with the goal of ensuring a safe life for the people above all, not trading the environment for other benefits. However, it must also be agreed that when the environment has been achieved according to the current standards of the State, there must be a common consensus to implement.

On the issue of planning,The province is currently developing the Provincial Planning for the period 2021-2020, with a vision to 2050, to submit to the Government for approval in accordance with the national planning and the project of the eternal ecological cemetery park in Hung Tay commune, which is also included in the Provincial Planning. The urban space of Vinh city, as approved by the Prime Minister in Decision No. 52/QD-TTg dated January 14, 2015, is to develop from the East of the North-South Expressway (road and railway) towards Cua Lo beach, while the West of the provincial highway is not oriented towards urban development.

Regarding the order and procedures for project implementation,During the implementation of the Vinh City Master Plan and the Vinh Hang Ecological Cemetery Park project, the detailed plan was publicly announced and the opinions of the community were sought. However, some opinions said that the project did not consult the community, and that in the project implementation process, there may be some procedures that people have not fully understood. Therefore, the Provincial People's Committee assigned the Provincial People's Committee Office to preside over and coordinate with relevant units to review and report to the Provincial People's Committee.

On environmental issues,This is an issue that not only the people but also the government is particularly concerned about. However, this issue is not only a matter of subjective assessment but also needs to be assessed on a scientific basis. The Provincial People's Committee will assign a review. When the project distance meets the standards, the people need to agree and create conditions for the investor to construct the project on schedule. If the project does not meet the prescribed distance, there are two options: One is not to implement the project; the other is to relocate people out of the project's area of ​​influence.
