pay attention to promoting the image and socio-economic potential of the
locality, and organise events effectively.
He asked for more attention to cyber
security issues in order to prevent the abuse of Internet to commit law
violations, and urged the authorised agencies to consider issuing mechanisms
for information provision, improve the quality of press briefings, and hold
emergency press conferences when necessary.
The provincial leader also

provincial authorities should design plans to enforce the law effectively./.
With the motto of "polite, dedicated, professional, and lawful,” over the years, Phu Cuong commune in Tan Lac district has gradually improved the quality of processing administrative procedures, winning high satisfaction from local people and businesses.
Stretching over 300 meters, valued at hundreds of million dong and built to the new-style rural standards, a concrete road in De hamlet, Bac Phong commune, Cao Phong district, was completed by the end of 2023 thanks to the collective contributions of armed forces at provincial and district levels coupled with the active participation of military units stationed throughout the district.
Over the years, the People’s Committee of Lac Thuy district has issued many plans and programmes to speed up the administrative reform, aiming to better serve local people and businesses.
Kim Boi district is drafting 23 planning projects which are expected to help boost the local socio-economic development, attract investors, and mobilise resources for development, said Vice chairman of the district People’s Committee Tran Tuan Son.
They include the one on Bo urban area development until 2045, 20 zoning, and 12 on rural residential areas in communes.
This year, Hoa Binh province strives to have eight communes recognised as meeting new-style rural area standards and five communes satisfying exemplary new-style rural area standards. Since the beginning of the year, the provincial People's Committee has drastically directed the implementation of the national target programme on new-style rural area building to fulfil the set target.
