Social order and safety were maintained, while traffic accidents declined compared with the same period last year.

Addressing the meeting, Chairman of the Provincial People’s Committee Pham Hoang Son warned that global developments, particularly ongoing tensions in the Middle East, could pose risks to the province’s growth targets.

He instructed departments, sectors and local authorities to carefully review key tasks for March and the first quarter, prioritize resource allocation and intensify efforts to promote socio-economic development to build momentum for subsequent months.

The Chairman called for the mobilization of maximum resources to speed up implementation and completion of major projects, with priority given to the Gia Binh International Airport project and its connecting roads. He also urged faster progress in finalizing the provincial master plan.

In agriculture, authorities were directed to guide farmers in caring for fruit trees and expanding high-tech agricultural production.
