Addressing the event, General Secretary Trong stressed the need to thoroughly grasp the resolution, reform the development mindset, and make the best use of resources to fully tap into the potential and advantages of each province, each sub-region, and the region as a whole.

It is necessary to properly handle the relationship between regional and national development, he noted.
He pointed out the importance of promoting proactiveness, creativity, self-reliance, and the aspiration for moving forwards among the Party officials and members, and people of the localities. Besides, central agencies and other localities nationwide should increase cooperation with and support for the region to make local economic growth faster and more sustainably.

The Party leader asked central agencies to boost coordination with localities and relevant offices in the region to quickly work out and implement special policies for regional development. Meanwhile, the northern midland and mountainous provinces have to step up reforming administrative procedures, improve the business climate, attract and effectively use every resource for development, and boost all-round development in terms of economy, cultural and society in tandem with ensuring national defence - security in border areas.

He also requested the localities to promptly build action plans to carry out the resolution, expressing his belief that they will surmount every difficulty to successfully implement the resolution and create breakthroughs in socio-economic development and defence - security ensuring in the region.
