Prioritize training, attracting, and utilizing high-quality human resources. 

The three main solution groups include: strengthening Party building and rectification efforts to ensure a clean, strong, and comprehensive political system; promoting socio-economic development; and ensuring national defense and security. 

In his closing remarks at the Congress, Member of the Party Central Committee and Secretary of the An Giang Provincial Party Committee, Mr. Nguyen Tien Hai, expressed his hope that by 2030, An Giang will become one of the well-developed provinces in the country and a strong national marine economic center. The province will have a synchronized socio-economic infrastructure system that is adaptable to climate change; lead the nation in digital transformation in education and healthcare; preserve and promote traditional cultural values; maintain national defense and security; pursue proactive and open foreign relations; ensure stable social order and safety; and guarantee social welfare, thereby improving the material and spiritual well-being of its people.

To achieve these urgent goals and tasks, it is essential that every official and Party member - especially the delegates attending the Congress - reach consensus in both awareness and action, uphold a strong sense of responsibility, promote unity, lead by example, and strive to cultivate political courage and ethical conduct. They must develop a working style that is close to the people and grounded at the grassroots level, strictly adhere to regulations, procedures, programs, and work plans, and firmly maintain the principle of democratic centralism.

In management and task execution, it is essential to act promptly, dynamically, and creatively - with the courage to think, to act, to take responsibility, and to make breakthroughs for the common good. There must be a firm determination to build a more prosperous An Giang Province, guided by the motto: 'One An Giang – One Vision – One Will – One Winning Belief,' advancing in step with the nation into the new era.
