The overview of the meeting.

Specifically, the Provincial Party Secretary emphasized several key tasks, requesting wards and communes along main routes—particularly the stretch from the IC7 intersection to the historic site—to mobilize forces to clear construction materials and waste from sidewalks by the afternoon and evening of today, April 25. The Land Fund Development Center, in coordination with the Hung Temple Historic Site Management Board, must focus on environmental sanitation and intensify waste collection to ensure all ritual areas are clean and pristine before 4:00 AM on April 26 (the 10th day of the third lunar month).

Phu Tho Newspaper and Radio-Television are tasked with meticulously preparing the live broadcast plans, with a specific focus on inspecting the audio, lighting, and speaker systems at the ritual sites as well as public LED screens. Backup generators must be in place to ensure an immediate response in the event of a power failure.

Meanwhile, police and military forces are directed to tighten security and manage traffic flow to guarantee absolute safety for the high-level delegations of the Party and State, as well as the public attending the ceremony.

The Secretary concluded: "The Incense Offering Ceremony is an event of paramount importance. Therefore, every member of the Organizing Committee must maintain high focus and coordinate seamlessly to ensure the National Anniversary is conducted with solemnity and reverence, leaving a lasting positive impression on our compatriots and tourists."
