Concluding the conference, Deputy Minister Do Thanh Trung acknowledged the proposals of the localities and at the same time, requested the Party committees and authorities of provinces and cities to strengthen leadership and direction to speed up the progress of handling headquarters and surplus public assets. The Department of Finance of provinces and cities needs to urgently develop detailed plans, in accordance with the planning and actual situation, to ensure the arrangement and use of public assets economically, effectively and in accordance with regulations.

The Ministry of Finance requires localities to continue transferring and converting the functions of houses and land for public use; step up renovation and asset procurement within their authority; and tighten supervision, inspection and examination to ensure publicity and transparency in the management and use of public assets.
