Comrade Pham Van Nam - Member of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee, Secretary of the Phan Thiet City Party Committee, presented a report at the working session.

After listening to the report of the Standing Committee of the Phan Thiet City Party Committee and the contributions of the inspection team members, Comrade Nguyen Hoai Anh, Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee, highly appreciated the efforts of the Party committees and authorities in Phan Thiet in implementing the Central and provincial policies on preparing the conditions for merging new communes and wards. Besides the achievements, the Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee also pointed out some limitations in the implementation process. The progress of statistical work, financial and asset handover, and document digitization in some units and localities is still slow, with some localities still struggling and some aspects not being thoroughly addressed.

Members of the inspection team spoke at the meeting.

During the meeting, Comrade Nguyen Hoai Anh shared the difficulties and pressures of carrying out the task within a short timeframe, while the workload was very large. However, he emphasized that the work could not be done superficially, and there could be no delays. Important documents, especially those related to history and land, must be securely archived. With their responsibilities, each official and Party member must make even greater efforts and prepare thoroughly for the handover and operation of the newly merged communes and wards.

To ensure the timely implementation of the set objectives, the Provincial Party Secretary requested the City Party Committee and its Standing Committee to immediately establish working groups to direct and guide communes, wards, and relevant agencies in effectively carrying out the statistical work and handover of finances and assets; avoiding omissions, losses, and waste. Continue digitizing documents and thoroughly surveying office premises to ensure feasibility and conditions for the new communes and wards to operate from July 1, 2025, without disrupting services to the people and businesses.

Simultaneously, the Standing Committee of the City Party Committee must lead the organization of grassroots-level congresses to ensure the set schedule is met; prepare the conditions for organizing congresses in communes and wards after mergers; it is projected that all new communes and wards must complete their congresses by July 30, 2025. Focus on resolving outstanding issues, effectively carrying out land clearance for projects; implement personnel work according to authority; proactively take measures to ensure security and order; do a good job in ideological work, and ensure the benefits and policies for cadres, civil servants, and public employees are in accordance with regulations.
