Twelve tasks and sector growth orientations were also presented.

Documents related to the conference must be submitted to the provincial People’s Committee before November 6.

 He said storm aftermath alleviation remains a key task for the remaining time of this year, urging local authorities to give priority to help homeless families and restore agriculture production with the aim of stabilizing local life and production before the lunar new year festival.
