At the meeting, the delegation listened to a briefing from leaders of the Ninh Thuan Provincial Commission for Information, Education, and Mass Mobilization on the implementation of communication tasks regarding the national nuclear power development policy and the Ninh Thuan nuclear power projects in recent times.
Accordingly, the Ninh Thuan Provincial Commission developed a detailed plan, assigned and deployed staff, collaborators, and communication officers assigned to specific local areas to closely monitor public opinion trends and promptly advise local authorities on appropriate measures to guide public opinion.

Through distributing survey forms and directly collecting public opinion, the majority of respondents expressed their support for the policy, believing that the development of nuclear power would bring several key benefits such as ensuring national energy security (72%) and providing a stable, low-carbon, green, and clean energy source (57%), among others. They also recognized the Ninh Thuan nuclear power project as an important driving force for the province's economic development, opening up opportunities to build Ninh Thuan into a “green and clean industrial center,” enhancing its competitiveness and creating a sustainable and prosperous development environment for the province in the future. People expressed a strong desire for the investment and construction of the Ninh Thuan nuclear power plant to proceed on schedule and according to the set plans.
