The Provincial Party Secretary agreed with the recommendations and proposals of the Tuyen Quang Newspaper and Radio and Television Station. He requested that the Newspaper quickly stabilize its Party branch activities; reorganize its specialized departments; and proactively recruit staff according to regulations. He also urged them to proactively coordinate with the Department of Finance to reassess the plan for handling the broadcasting station at Nui Cam Mountain in detail and report back to the Provincial Party Standing Committee. Investment in equipment should be carefully planned for the long term. The Newspaper and relevant agencies must strive to resolve all the issues raised by 2025.

The comrade expressed his wish that Tuyen Quang's newspapers, radio, and television would increasingly improve their quality, actively participate in central-level journalism awards; and continue to play a core role in ideological work, worthy of being the voice of the Party Committee, government, and people of the province.
