Speaking at the ceremony, Mr. Pham Tuan Vinh - Secretary of the Provincial Youth Union reminded the members of their roles and tasks. The Provincial Youth Union and the Provincial Post Office are the two pioneering forces, leading the project implementation.

The goal is to complete the project in January 2019, so we must focus on mastering the software installation process and mastering the technology platform to collect data for the project effectively and accurately. In addition to the areas of districts and urban areas in the plains, pay attention to the technology platform in difficult mountainous areas to provide further guidance and support to the implementers; each individual assigned to be in charge needs to grasp the details of each member and each area.
