PV: To achieve the above remarkable results, what specific instructions did Tan Ky district have, sir?

Comrade Phan Van Giap:One of the important lessons learned is to be determined and resolute in leadership and direction. Reality shows that in any field where there is regular attention, direction, monitoring, inspection, and urging, and specific tasks are assigned to each individual, the results are higher.

Political determination is also a key issue, deciding the results. Determination here is the unity of perception, way of doing and pursuing the work of cadres and party members, first of all of leaders of departments, branches and establishments. Along with that, it is necessary to enhance the sense of responsibility in performing assigned tasks, especially of heads of agencies and units.

Those are the key issues, deciding the quality and results of implementation.
