Concluding the meeting, Duong Van Thai, Chairman of the provincial People's Committee, acknowledged the achieved results and pointed out the limitations and shortcomings. In the coming time, he asked departments, agencies and localities to continue performing well the "dual task" of both ensuring the pandemic prevention and control and promoting socio-economic development.

He emphasised the need to implement measures to support enterprises and people affected by the epidemic, ensuring accuracy, transparency and timeliness.

The province should increase activities to remove difficulties and create favorable conditions for production and business, and boost export and import. It is necessary to facilitate the sale of lychee and promote typical products of Bac Giang. Besides export, attention should be paid to the domestic market.

The province also needs to continue focusing on prevention and control of Covid-19, while firmly grasping the situation of local people for timely and effective support.
