The People’s Committee of Điện Biên Province should direct affiliated sectors and the political system to innovate leadership methods, mobilize resources, and uphold collective strength, striving to achieve economic growth of over 10.5% by 2025, contributing to the new era of Vietnamese people’s rise.

Local Party organizations and authorities at all levels in Điện Biên Province should focus on building a project to reorganize provincial- and district-level administrative units; assign tasks according to the principle of “clear roles, clear responsibilities, clear timeframes, and clear results.”

Simultaneously, after being approved, the Điện Biên Province Planning and the general planning of Điên Biên Phủ City need to be specified and effectively implemented, including effectively maintaining national defense and security tasks to ensure that there are no surprises or hotspots in the area.

Meanwhile, Party building and rectification should be paid due attention to. Officials and Party members, especially those in leadership positions, should promote their exemplary spirit and sense of responsibility. Quality of task performance by governance should be promoted. Digital transformation and application of information technology should be accelerated. And civil servants and public employees’ sense of responsibility and rule obedience must be improved.

Manifestations of degradation in political ideology, ethics and lifestyle, self-evolution, and self-transformation need to be prevented. Corruption and negative phenomena must be pushed back, with a focus on promoting thrift and fighting wastefulness. The encouragement and protection of bold officials who dare to think and act for common interests must be boosted.

Proposed solutions include: Comprehensive development in cultural and social sectors, ensuring harmonious integration with economic growth; Ensuring social welfare programs to improve the material and spiritual well-being of the people.

Key tasks and solutions include ensuring defense, security, political stability, and social order, as well as effectively implementing the province’s foreign affairs.

Mr. Lê Thành Đô, Chairman of the People’s Committee of Điện Biên Province, speaks at the event.

Concluding the conference, Mr. Lê Thành Đô, Chairman of the People’s Committee of Điện Biên Province stressed that, in order to effectively implement the proposed tasks, the provincial People’s Committee, departments, sectors, agencies, and units need to: Be more attentive and closely connected with grassroots levels; proactively, promptly, and flexibly address difficulties and obstacles in task implementation; and continue to promote democratic principles and bring into play collective intelligence.

Departments, sectors, and localities in the province should attach much importance to developing plans for their task performance from the very beginning of the year to ensure the highest possible completion of assigned goals and tasks.

The leader of the provincial People’s Committee acknowledged and requested departments and sectors to proactively research and consider handling the recommendations from units within the scope of their assigned responsibilities.
