However, the report also pointed out the shortcomings: The propaganda work of the Ordinance on Domestic Workers has not been really extensive. The coordination between military agencies and departments in implementing the Ordinance on Domestic Workers has not been really close, regular and synchronous; the effectiveness of State management in implementing the Ordinance is still limited. Some enterprises are not ready to participate in performing the tasks of Domestic Workers. The production and repair of industrial enterprises are still affected by many issues such as investment capital, scale of production activities, competitiveness; production technology equipment is still backward, there are no mechanisms, institutions, policies for training and additional training.

Speaking at the conference, industrial enterprises said: In the process of producing weapons, there are still many difficulties in terms of investment capital and materials. It requires funding to invest in training and retraining young labor force; and repair and maintain production equipment.

Concluding the conference, Permanent Vice Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee Le Xuan Dai commended enterprises participating in the production of military weapons and the coordination of departments, branches, and local authorities at all levels in recent times.

The Standing Vice Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee said: Nghe An is a large area, the 4th largest population in the country, with a long border adjacent to Laos, so this is a key area for national defense and security. Although there are nearly 10 thousand enterprises in the province, the number of enterprises participating in defense production is not much. Therefore, all levels and sectors need to encourage enterprises to pay attention to production in the defense sector.

In the coming time, the implementation of the Ordinance on Military Service must be very synchronous and highly unified. In the immediate future, it is necessary to further strengthen awareness, do a good job of propaganda and mobilization work, and mobilize all classes of people and socio-economic organizations to well implement the Law on National Defense, the Law on Military Service, the Ordinance on Reserve Forces, and the Ordinance on Industrial Mobilization.
