I, like the majority of the people, am particularly impressed and agree with humane and practical policies such as exemption and support of tuition fees for preschool children, primary school students and those studying general education programs in the national education system; investment in building a system of inter-level boarding schools in border communes. These are policies that demonstrate the deep concern of the Party and State for future generations, especially in areas with many difficulties.

The Draft Political Report has drawn important lessons after 40 years of renovation. Among them, the lesson that I am most interested in is the deep understanding and thorough practice of the viewpoint “People are the root”; promoting the role of the subject and the central position of the People; and persistently pursuing the motto “People know, people discuss, people do, people inspect, people supervise, people enjoy”.

In my opinion, any problem, no matter how difficult, if there is consensus and support from the people, difficult things will become easy, and vice versa. This is the key to maintaining solidarity and unity within the Party and in the whole society.

What I, along with the team of cadres, party members and people of Hue City, are particularly interested in and expect is that the draft Political Report needs to concretize the aspiration for national development, emphasizing "the aspiration for sustainable development, with identity, culture and people of Hue" - a great value and a consistent goal in the development process of the locality as well as the whole country.

That aspiration does not stop at slogans, but must be transformed into strategic pillars, tasks and feasible solutions, suitable to Hue's characteristics. As a heritage city and a centrally-governed city, Hue is expanding in scale, so economic development must be closely linked to preserving cultural identity; absolutely not trading off the environment, not sacrificing heritage values ​​in exchange for short-term growth. The document needs to clearly define Hue's growth model in the new period: Green economy - heritage economy - knowledge economy are the core driving forces.

“Hue identity, culture, people” means taking culture as the foundation for development, which is both a difference and a unique competitive advantage of Hue. Therefore, the draft needs to clarify major directions such as: Promoting the system of tangible and intangible heritages; building a civilized and elegant Hue cultural environment; developing high-quality tourism and services associated with the identity of the Ancient Capital; focusing on building Hue people in the new era, dynamic, creative but still rich in courage, traditional and cultural depth.

Concretizing the development aspiration also means clearly identifying the targets, driving forces and breakthrough solutions; at the same time highlighting the role of the political system, the consensus of the people and the participation of the whole society. That aspiration is not only a wish, but must become a political commitment of the Hue City Party Committee; become an action of the authorities at all levels; and more importantly, become the belief and will of each Hue citizen as well as the people of the whole country in the journey of building Hue into a major cultural center of Vietnam, a green - modern - sustainable heritage city.
