The National Assembly also appreciates the sacrifices and contributions of groups and individuals for the common goal and common interests of the nation and people.

The National Assembly requested the Government, local authorities at all levels, relevant agencies and organizations to focus on arranging, perfecting and stabilizing the organizational apparatus so that local authorities at two levels can operate smoothly, effectively and efficiently; and have mechanisms and policies to promptly care for, support and encourage those affected by the arrangement and streamlining of the organizational apparatus.
