After 29 years of development,  the provincial Association of the Elderly currently has 12 chapters at the district and city level, and 204 in communes and towns with nearly 120,000 members. Associations at all levels have done a good job of advising the local Party committees and authorities to visit and give gifts to elder people, especially those who are poor, lonely, and homeless. Since 2017, 145 collectives and individuals have received the certificates of merit from the Central Committee of the Vietnam Association of the Elderly, and 300 collectives and individuals have been granted with the certificates of merit from the Chairperson of the provincial People's Committee and from agencies at all levels and sectors.

Speaking at the event, Hung requested the associations at all levels to continue to implement the Party's guidelines and the State's policies for the elderly, and promote their core role in the movement "All people care for and promote the role of the elderly", thus meeting the requirements of the tasks in the new situation.

They were requested to help more elder people living in difficult circumstances, and encourage the elderly to participate in campaigns and patriotic emulation movements, and promote experience in various fields, contributing to the development of Son La province.

The congress elected 23 individuals to the Executive Board of the provincial Association of the Elderly for the 2024-2029 term.
