Accordingly, looking back over the past 5 years, Nghe An has carried out many tasks such as a sustainable economy; a more modern and spacious urban appearance; "agriculture, farmers, rural areas" have achieved many good results, especially the construction of new rural areas with good, creative and pioneering methods such as building new rural villages and hamlets, piloting model new rural areas in Nam Dan.

In particular, according to the Secretary of the Hanoi Party Committee, the highlight of the 2015-2020 term is that the province has focused on long-term development through planning; at the same time, taking care of production infrastructure, which is industrial parks; internal unity, solidarity, high unity in thinking and action.

The Head of the Central Internal Affairs Commission suggested that all potentials, strengths, weaknesses, limitations, major orientations, and breakthrough solutions must permeate deeply into cadres, first of all key leaders, the Standing Committee, and the Executive Committee.

From there, we transfer our aspirations and enthusiasm into our hearts, and then turn them into "resolute, synchronous, unified, fundamental, and thorough actions, not opportunistic, and not influenced by group interests."

Party Central Committee Secretary Nguyen Xuan Thang also shared that the province's biggest weakness is implementation organization, so this must be considered Nghe An's problem to clarify.

On the other hand, administrative reform work is not yet synchronous; although there are many good models and methods, they have not really spread, so it is necessary to clarify the causes.
