The Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee requested that agencies and units focus on completing the handover of organization, personnel, assets, finances, facilities, and documents, ensuring fullness, strictness, and compliance with regulations. They should review and revise regulations, working procedures, and coordination mechanisms to suit the new organizational structure, clearly assigning tasks within the leadership team of agencies and units, and to officials and employees in accordance with their professional qualifications, capabilities, and job positions, ensuring the smooth and uninterrupted operation of the system and preventing any impact on state management.

For comrades appointed to new important responsibilities, focus on studying and promptly implementing new tasks and duties, avoiding any gaps in the operation of agencies and organizations that could affect social activities and the people; quickly stabilize internal affairs within the agency, continue to promote the spirit of unity and democracy; promptly report any shortcomings or obstacles to the Department of Internal Affairs for coordinated guidance or to compile reports for consideration and resolution by competent authorities.
