Concluding the conference, Provincial Party Secretary Nguyen Khac Than highly appreciated the synchronous participation of the entire political system, the sense of responsibility of leaders at all levels, the cooperation of enterprises, organizations and individuals inside and outside the province. The Provincial Party Secretary emphasized that the program not only brings solid roofs but also strengthens the people's trust in the Party, the State and socio-political organizations.
The Provincial Party Secretary suggested that in the coming time, the province should urgently start construction of resettlement areas, ensuring that people affected by natural disasters have houses before the Lunar New Year 2026; at the same time, continue to mobilize social resources, link housing support with sustainable livelihoods, vocational training, and stabilize people's long-term lives.
With the achieved results, Nghe An province is honored to receive the Third Class Labor Medal from the President; an individual was awarded a Certificate of Merit by the Prime Minister; many other collectives and individuals were awarded by all levels for their outstanding achievements in implementing the program for the period 2023-2025.
