Speaking at the meeting, the vice chairmen of the provincial People's Committee said: Nam Dan district has followed Resolution 07 quite well. The economic growth rate of Nam Dan in recent months has been high compared to the average of the whole province. However, Nam Dan still has some shortcomings: Budget revenue in the first 8 months of the year is still low; the implementation of the action program of Resolution 07 and Decision 3530 of the provincial People's Committee has not been extensive.

Specifically, Nam Dan district needs to be decisive in the issue of general planning, especially infrastructure and investment projects. The district needs to coordinate with the Department of Transport to do a good job of planning parking lots and Nam Dan bypass to serve the tourism sector well.

Regarding solutions, Vice Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee Le Minh Thong emphasized: The sectors must be responsible for coordinating with Nam Dan district to complete the master plan. The locality needs to promote social investment in building a system of hotels and restaurants; Promote the improvement of the quality of the education network, especially the system of public and private kindergartens...

Concluding the working session, Comrade Nguyen Xuan Duong - Deputy Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee, Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee directed: Resolution 07 has a decisive significance for socio-economic development for Nam Dan in particular, Nghe An in general, towards the 130th anniversary of President Ho Chi Minh's birthday. Therefore, it is necessary to determine that building Nam Dan is not only the district's responsibility but also the responsibility of all levels and sectors at the provincial level. It is necessary to exploit the maximum internal resources of the locality, through programs, projects, and economic models. This is not only the responsibility of Nam Dan district but also the shared responsibility of all sectors and the province.

Implementing Resolution 07, Nam Dan district has taken steps with high determination and drasticness, creating new confidence for Nam Dan. The district has deployed the construction and assignment of a number of tasks according to each comrade in charge; departments and branches have proactively coordinated with the district to implement a number of tasks.

However, the implementation of Resolution 07 has not been systematic, many things are still confusing. In the coming time, we must step up propaganda so that each cadre, party member, and citizen must raise their responsibility to implement the Resolution.
