According to the report at the meeting, Phu Trung Commune was established on the basis of merging Phu Trung and Phuoc Tan communes, with a natural area of more than 172 km², comprising 12 hamlets and a population of about 13,700 people. The Commune Party Committee now has 23 grassroots Party cells with 331 Party members.

After the rearrangement, the commune promptly consolidated its organizational structure, established advisory and supporting agencies, affiliated Party organizations, and appointed, introduced leaders in line with the approved plan.

The Commune Party Committee directed and successfully organized the first Congress of the Commune Party Committee for the 2025–2030 term. The commune government apparatus quickly stabilized and began operating in an orderly manner.

The Commune Public Administrative Service Center has come into operation, shortening the time needed to process applications for residents and businesses. The Commune People’s Council has organized sessions to consolidate the organizational apparatus and allocate funds as a basis for implementation.

However, Phu Trung is still facing several difficulties, such as the limited size of communal headquarters and deterioration of many key roads. The commune also has more than 4,800 hectares of land under the planning for bauxite exploration, exploitation, and reserves. Therefore, the Phu Trung Commune Party Committee proposed removing from the bauxite planning those exploration areas with low reserves.

At the same time, it requested the Provincial People’s Committee to pay attention to upgrading and expanding a number of local roads and to allocate resources for implementing the criteria to help Phu Trung achieve the status of an advanced new-style rural commune.

The proposals from Phu Trung Commune were discussed and clarified by provincial leaders right at the meeting. Regarding bauxite planning, Member of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee and Vice Chairman of the Provincial People’s Committee Le Truong Son requested the Department of Agriculture and Environment to coordinate with the Department of Industry and Trade to review and delineate the exploration reserves area and make specific proposals to the Provincial People’s Committee.

Regarding the upgrading and expansion of connecting roads, Phu Trung needs to quickly draw up a list of roads and include them in the investment plan for the 2026–2030 period. For severely degraded and dangerous roads, the commune should coordinate with the Department of Construction to survey and propose immediate repairs.

In her concluding remarks, Standing Deputy Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee Ton Ngoc Hanh acknowledged the difficulties as well as the efforts and determination of Phu Trung Commune over the past two months.

In the coming time, Ton Ngoc Hanh requested Phu Trung Commune to quickly concretize the Resolution of the Commune Party Congress, with special attention paid to Party membership development since the Commune Party Committee has a very small number of members.

Regarding socio-economic development, she suggested that Phu Trung identify its local advantages to guide investment attraction, while accelerating the replanning of the commune in association with business and service development.

She also acknowledged the commune’s proposals and asked Phu Trung to focus on directing the congresses of the Vietnam Fatherland Front and mass organizations. At the same time, she called for the launch of patriotic emulation movements with specific projects and tasks to celebrate the first Congress of the Provincial Party Committee for the 2025–2030 term and the 14th National Party Congress.
