The achievements serve as lessons and experiences to continue performing all tasks well in the future.

Regarding key tasks for the coming period, the Provincial Party Secretary requested that localities focus on coordinating in the review and adjustment of general urban planning and zoning plans with a long-term vision and development orientation, ensuring they reflect the unique characteristics of each locality and are updated to align with the province's new development space, the Provincial Master Plan, the Hanoi Capital Region Planning, and the National Master Plan. In particular, urban development must be oriented towards modernity, civilization, and a strong sense of local cultural identity. During the planning process, localities should prioritize the planning and construction of cultural and educational institutions, parks, etc., to serve the cultural and spiritual lives of the people. Alongside this, they should accelerate the development of transportation infrastructure, strengthen regional connectivity, expand development space, and enhance the competitiveness of their localities.

At the same time, each locality needs to continue to unite, proactively overcome difficulties, and effectively carry out political tasks. The team of cadres, civil servants, and public employees should continue to improve their knowledge, enhance their professional skills and expertise, and demonstrate a sense of responsibility in performing their assigned tasks well. Based on the actual situation, localities should be flexible in managing, arranging, and assigning cadres appropriately, creating new momentum to successfully complete assigned political tasks. Regarding the reorganization of villages, localities must implement it in a systematic and rigorous manner. The consolidation of Party organizations, Front Committees, and socio-political organizations must be carried out in conjunction with the reorganization of villages.
