Concluding the conference, Colonel Hoang Tuan Hien - Deputy Director of the Policy Department praised the role and contribution of the standing agency and functional branches of Nghe An province in participating in the review, appraisal, decision-making and payment of benefits for frontline laborers according to Decision 49.

To continue to better implement the regimes and policies for frontline workers in the coming time, he requested the Provincial Steering Committee 24, units and localities in the province to continue to seriously grasp the Party's viewpoints and the State's regimes and policies for frontline workers. The review and approval of subjects must be carried out publicly and democratically; once a decision is made, it must be implemented promptly, thoughtfully, closely and in accordance with regulations. Promote the role of Steering Committee 24, with the core being the military agency; assign monitoring, inspection, urging, grasping the situation in all aspects, promptly and thoroughly resolving problems right at the grassroots level. For outstanding cases, it is necessary to step up the review and resolution of regimes for subjects.

In addition, continue to promote the leadership and direction of the Party Committee, the military agencies, and closely coordinate with departments, branches, and organizations to resolve policies and regimes for frontline workers in accordance with regulations. At the same time, focus on doing a good job of propaganda and dissemination of policies and regimes so that the subjects can clearly understand and have correct awareness as a basis for implementation.
