The Ninh Binh Provincial People's Committee has chosen a prestigious unit and a director to set up scenarios and organise the art performances at the celebration.

At the same time, it has stepped up the communication work with flags and banners decorated at the Bai Dinh International Convention Center and other areas in the province.

The preparations for the stage where the celebration will be held have been basically completed.

Meanwhile, other preparations related to accommodation, social order and security and traffic safety are well ensured.

As for medical matters, food safety has been carefully controlled while the disinfection to prevent the COVID-19 and other diseases at the convention center has been also implemented.
