He suggested that the Provincial People's Committee develop a new set of invitations and requested the Department of Culture, Sports, and Tourism to adjust the stadium layout based on the opinions expressed during the meeting.

Additionally, Cường proposed that the Department of Culture, Sports, and Tourism, along with the Department of Labour, Invalids, and Social Affairs, and Điện Biên Phủ City, collaborate to develop a welcoming programme for the government delegation's visit to offer incense at the Mường Phăng historical site and the memorial area of General Võ Nguyên Giáp.
