Regarding socio-economic development, the ward was instructed to accelerate public investment disbursement and avoid delays toward the end of the year. For issues such as flooding and traffic congestion, local authorities should proactively implement “local solutions” within their competence, such as canal dredging, drainage improvement and traffic flow adjustments to ease pressure on the city, said he.

He also highlighted the importance of digital transformation and data standardization, as well as studying and effectively implementing Politburo Resolution 09-NQ/TW in local governance.

Earlier, local officials also proposed increasing staffing levels and restructuring the ward’s economic infrastructure department to better match its workload and large population.
