The Government chief made the remark at a working session with the Standing Board of the municipal Party Committee on August 17 in Ha Noi.

He applauded the city's solidarity, unity, and concerted efforts in the spirit of "superior-subordinate unanimity", "one voice speaks, a hundred respond" and "one mind from top to bottom" as stated by late Party General Secretary Nguyen Phu Trong, as well as the motto "resources come from sharp mind, motives from renewal, and strength from the people and businesses."

The Government chief proposed the local authorities focus on ensuring macro-economic stability, boosting economic growth, curbing inflation, and assuring major balances; removing difficulties for production, business and mobilizing resources for the city's development; stepping up administrative reform; ensuring social security; and developing culture on par with the city's noble historic and cultural tradition.

Ha Noi needs to continue accelerating the disbursement of the public capital, renewing traditional growth drivers which are investment, export and consumption, and promoting new ones, especially green, digital, circular, intellectual and sharing economies.

He urged the city to pioneer in renewal, innovation, and startup, capitalize on the achievements of the fourth industrial revolution to build a smart city, improve the provincial competitiveness index, and handle issues related to transport, healthcare, education, environment, and social security.

Ha Noi must continue fostering production and business, reviewing its work in culture and sports, focusing on building a strong, united Party and political system, completing policies and regulations to carry out the revised Capital Law, intensifying the prevention of corruption for development, ensuring defense, security and safety, and strengthening foreign economic affairs and international integration.

Leaders of Ha Noi proposed the Government and the Prime Minister direct several issues related to the implementation of the revised Capital Law, sketch out incentives and support investment for high-tech projects and those that have great impacts on the city's socio-economic development. They also suggested the Government soon approve the masterplan for the Ha Noi capital and allow the pilot of smart urban area development in several places, among others.

Prime Minister Pham agreed with the recommendations, and ordered the Government's Office to join hands with competent ministries, sectors and agencies to handle.

According to the municipal Party Committee, the city has pushed ahead administrative reform, digital transformation, digital economy and society. It eyes to complete some 16,000 social housing apartments during 2021-2025, and has spent nearly VND50 trillion on culture, education, and preservation of historical relic sites.

Additionally, the city completed the building of new-style rural areas two years ahead of target. Nearly VND1.6 trillion was arranged for the sustainable poverty alleviation program, helping the poverty rate fall to 0.03 percent./.
