Focus on maximum solutions to carry out tasks in the last 3 months of the year
From now until the end of the year is an important time, comrade Thai Thanh Quy requested that sectors and localities must manage the price market well, focus on fighting against counterfeit goods, smuggled goods, trade fraud, and prepare goods for the end of the year. In addition, the Culture and Tourism sectors continue to research and launch new tourism products to attract tourists.
Regarding budget collection, this year has good prospects, however, departments and branches need to focus on recovering outstanding debts, especially in the context of increasing signs, and pay attention to zoning debts to have appropriate solutions.
Sectors and localities need to develop public investment plans for the new period, paying attention to selecting key and focal projects to prioritize investment. Districts should focus on maximum solutions to disburse capital for construction of projects and works; any locality with slow disbursement will be held responsible.
In addition, according to the head of the provincial People's Committee, one of the reasons for the slow disbursement is due to difficulties in site clearance, especially for the North-South Expressway project. Therefore, the highest requirement is that relevant units must take many measures to overcome difficulties.

Departments, branches and localities need to focus on overcoming it.

Regarding the fields of culture, society, health, and education, the Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee said that in recent times, there have been many innovations and good achievements. However, departments and branches also need to pay attention to a number of key tasks, including focusing on completing the Ho Chi Minh Memorial House to prepare for the 130th anniversary of his birth; Speeding up the installation of Lenin's statue in Vinh city.
Regarding the issue of overcharging at the beginning of the school year, the Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee said that this issue has been discussed by the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee.
