Discussing the criteria issued by the Provincial People's Committee, the delegates basically agreed with the content of the criteria. However, the delegates said that some criteria were still general and difficult to apply in practice, such as the criteria for communes having rural markets or places for buying, selling and exchanging goods.

Some concerns: In mountainous communes, regions 2, 3, and especially disadvantaged communes in coastal areas, the stadium area must be 1 hectare wide, and the sports area must be 500 m wide.² is difficult to achieve.

Concluding the meeting, comrade Dinh Viet Hong directed: The contents of each basic criterion are consistent with the proposed document. Particularly for the cultural criteria in mountainous communes, especially those with special difficulties, it is agreed that the communal stadium area should be reduced in size, in accordance with actual conditions.

For the criteria in doubt, apply according to the decisions of the Central Ministries and branches. The Vice Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee requested the Provincial New Rural Area Coordination Office to complete the draft and send it to the members of the Provincial Steering Committee for New Rural Area Construction and the districts for comments./.
