He stressed the importance of administrative reforms to facilitate this process.

The President also urged for enhanced focus on new-style rural development, particularly in ethnic minority areas, ongoing Party building and rectification, revitalization of the operations of the provincial Vietnam Fatherland Front and socio-political organizations, and improvements in internal affairs and justice.
