The Standing Vice Chairman of the Provincial People's Council also emphasized: The composition of the monitoring delegations must be compact and if necessary, other delegates can be invited to participate. The monitoring program must be flexible, and can be monitored directly or through reports.

Regarding the content of the two monitoring programs, the Chairman of the Provincial People's Council gave specific instructions on the composition of the delegation, as well as the implementation methods.

Therefore, the Standing Committee of the People's Council requested the Office of the Provincial People's Committee to advise the leaders of the Provincial People's Committee to preside over, listen to the advice and reports of the sectors to avoid repeating the shortcomings that led to the request to supplement the list of resolutions to be issued; thereby also highlighting the responsibility and early initiative of the departments and sectors in this work.

The preparation of the draft resolution to be submitted to the Provincial People's Council session needs to pay attention to ensuring the form, content, and process so that the promulgated policy is feasible and soon comes into life.

In the near future, the Office of the National Assembly Delegation - Provincial People's Council and the Office of the Provincial People's Committee will sign a coordination regulation. The Chairman of the Provincial People's Council proposed that the regulation must ensure the work of reviewing and submitting the list of resolutions issued by the Provincial People's Committee to the Provincial People's Council closely; at the same time, it is necessary to report to the Standing Committee of the Provincial People's Council every month the list of draft resolutions prepared and the preparation progress; the results of handling voters' opinions and recommendations instead of 6 months as at present.
