The council also approved policies aimed at attracting doctors and pharmacists, improving the quality of teaching and learning, supporting workers seeking employment overseas, and funding mass cultural and arts activities in villages, hamlets, sub-zones and residential groups across the province.

The session also considered a number of matters under the council’s authority, including greater decentralisation to strengthen the proactiveness and accountability of grassroots administrations in implementing assigned programmes and tasks.

Closing the event, Hung said the workload from now until the end of 2026 remains substantial and requires rapid implementation. He called on authorities and agencies at all levels to urgently put the newly adopted resolutions into practice in a timely, substantive and effective manner.

He also urged the province to focus on socio-economic development, accelerate public investment disbursement, remove obstacles facing production and business activities, promote sectors where Son La has advantages, and speed up key projects.

Hung called for the full issuance of mechanisms and policies in accordance with the law, as well as Son La’s specific policies, to support socio-economic development during the 2026-2030 period and contribute to the successful implementation of the Resolution of the provincial Party Congress for the 2025-2030 term./.
