Vice Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee Le Duc Giang delivered the concluding remarks at the conference.

Concluding the conference, Vice Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee Le Duc Giang acknowledged the efforts of the Office for Coordinating the New Rural Development Program and the coordination with departments and agencies in evaluating and selecting communes, preparing dossiers to propose recognition as New Rural Development, Advanced New Rural Development, and Model New Rural Development; he also highly appreciated the efforts and coordination of localities and sectors in implementing the New Rural Development plan in the past period. In particular, communes in mountainous areas, especially Muong Chanh commune (Muong Lat district) and Thanh Tan commune (Nhu Thanh district), have made significant efforts in fulfilling the New Rural Development criteria.

The Vice Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee affirmed that the efforts of the communes, especially Muong Chanh commune (Muong Lat district), in implementing the New Rural Area criteria have contributed to eliminating the "blank spot" of New Rural Area communes in Muong Lat district, bringing the New Rural Area construction to all districts in the province.

The Vice Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee requested that the members of the Appraisal Council pay more attention to the implementation of New Rural Area criteria in localities and model projects during the guidance process. At the same time, the Vice Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee requested that the New Rural Area Coordination Office, in guiding communes in building model New Rural Areas, focus on outstanding criteria related to production, education , culture, and tourism.

In addition, some localities, such as Nghi Son town, have not made sufficient efforts in implementing the New Rural Development program. Therefore, a specific meeting with these localities is needed to identify New Rural Development as a key task and to accelerate its implementation in the coming period.

The Vice Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee instructed the Office for Coordinating the New Rural Development Program to urgently coordinate with localities to complete the dossiers for submission to the Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee for recognition of communes that have met the criteria for new rural development and advanced new rural development in this phase.
