Commenting on the report of the Department of Construction, Mr. Luu Van Ban, Standing Vice Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee, suggested that for the Kinh Mon criteria group that has just reached the average and minimum levels, a plan and roadmap are needed to continue to overcome them. After Kinh Mon is recognized as a type III urban area, the locality needs to soon prepare a construction dossier to the city. Kinh Mon needs to pay special attention to the issue of wastewater collection and treatment; clarify the assessment of environmental sanitation criteria in the town, and have a plan and solutions to overcome them in the coming time.

The town also needs to overcome the existing problems of some inland waterway ports and wharves; it is necessary to include them in the town planning and the planning of communes and wards, leaving only a few wharves and inland waterway ports to serve the gathering of coal ash, construction materials, etc.
