Dear delegates, voters and people of the province!

The official implementation of the two-level local government model from July 1, 2025 marks a turning point in the country's history, with the goal of bringing the government closer to the people, serving the people better and expanding space, helping localities to maximize their potential and mobilize resources for socio-economic development in the era of national development.

The Provincial People's Council requests the Provincial People's Committee, all levels and sectors to strengthen monitoring, inspection, supervision and guidance of the operation of the commune and ward government apparatus to promptly handle and remove difficulties, obstacles, shortcomings and newly arising issues, especially in remote, isolated and extremely disadvantaged communes; ensure telecommunications and information technology infrastructure for the smooth and effective operation of the two-level local administrative apparatus; properly, fully and promptly implement policies and regimes for those affected by the reorganization of the apparatus.

At the same time, continue to review the content of legal documents of the People's Council and the Provincial People's Committee with the implementation of the two-level government; update new regulations of the Central Government on decentralization and delegation of power to issue new documents, amend, supplement, replace according to authority or propose the Provincial People's Council to implement to ensure compliance with reality.

For the commune and ward authorities, the Provincial People's Council requests to urgently review and complete all work of assigning, arranging, and organizing cadres, civil servants, public employees, and workers in agencies and units in communes and wards; update, study, and grasp the functions, tasks, authority, decentralization, and delegation of power in documents of the Central and the province to implement in accordance with legal regulations and smooth operations, without delay or omission of work, with the consistent goal of better serving the people and businesses; strengthen propaganda and guidance work so that people can grasp the regulations, locations, and new working methods of local State agencies; consolidate the consensus and support of the people for the implementation of 2-level administrative units in localities.

The Standing Committees of the People's Councils of communes and wards need to proactively coordinate with the People's Committees and the Vietnam Fatherland Front Committees at the same level to carefully prepare for the regular mid-year meetings of the People's Councils.

The remaining time of 2025 is of special importance, with important events of the country. For our province, this is a decisive time not only for the completion of the socio-economic development goals of the year but also for the successful implementation of the targets and tasks of the entire 2020-2025 term. This is also the period when all levels and sectors focus highly on the preparation and organization of Party Congresses at all levels, towards the 14th National Congress of the Party.

Although the road ahead is still full of challenges, with the determination and efforts of the entire political system, all levels, sectors and localities, and the consensus and support of voters and people, our province has achieved many important results in the first 6 months of the year, including important tasks that had to be carried out in the condition of "running and queuing at the same time". Those results are a solid foundation for us to believe in the ability to complete the tasks and socio-economic development goals of 2025 and the 2025-2030 term.

Regarding the activities of the People's Council, the 9th Session of the National Assembly recently decided to shorten the term of the 15th National Assembly and People's Councils at all levels for the 2021-2026 term as well as hold early elections for the 2026-2031 term in March 2026. The remaining time of the People's Council term is not much, the Chairman of the session requested the delegates of the Provincial People's Council to continue to uphold the spirit and responsibility in performing the duties of delegates; review the promises made to voters and be determined to pursue to the end the resolution of voters' legitimate opinions and aspirations; and effectively carry out contact with voters after the 31st Session of the Provincial People's Council.
