Opening of the Second Conference of the Executive Committee of the Ho Chi Minh City Party Committee

On the morning of December 15th, the Executive Committee of the Ho Chi Minh City Party Committee for the 2025-2030 term opened its second meeting.

Tran Luu Quang, Secretary of the Central Committee of the Communist Party and Secretary of the Ho Chi Minh City Party Committee, chaired the meeting.

In his opening remarks, Ho Chi Minh City Party Secretary Tran Luu Quang emphasized two major groups of tasks for the city in the coming period.

First and foremost, we need to address existing problems and overcome obstacles that the city is facing, especially the four issues that General Secretary To Lam suggested at the City Party Congress: traffic congestion, flooding, air pollution, and the goal of building a drug-free city.

The second set of tasks is to enhance the new role and position of Ho Chi Minh City in the context of its larger scale, wider development space, stronger potential, and more room for growth, with very significant responsibilities. The city continues to play the leading role in the national economy ; it is a center for scientific and technological development, innovation, digital transformation, and a series of other centers where many new models are applied, such as an international financial center and a free trade zone.

"We have two major tasks like that, and the ultimate goal is to improve the quality of life for every individual and every family," Ho Chi Minh City Party Secretary Tran Luu Quang stated.

According to Mr. Tran Luu Quang, the city currently enjoys many advantages from existing mechanisms. The general mechanisms and policies of the whole country are becoming increasingly open, with stronger decentralization and delegation of power, and many administrative procedures have been streamlined.

In particular, the National Assembly recently passed a resolution amending Resolution 98/2023/QH15 on the special mechanism for the development of Ho Chi Minh City, creating more favorable conditions for the city's development. With such conditions, the city is fully capable of effectively implementing many major tasks.

In the context of changes, mergers of administrative units, and the establishment of a two-tiered local government model, the city needs new thinking and new approaches that are appropriate to the current reality.

The tasks set at the conference are immense; therefore, Mr. Tran Luu Quang hopes that the members of the City Party Committee will actively discuss, contribute heartfelt opinions, propose creative ideas and effective methods, in order to create clear changes starting in 2026, striving to achieve double-digit growth. This is not an easy goal, but the City has every reason to believe it can be achieved.

At the Conference, delegates focused on discussing solutions to be implemented over the next five years to achieve the goals set out in the Resolution of the First Congress of the Ho Chi Minh City Party Committee, term 2025-2030; giving opinions on the socio-economic situation in 2025 and key tasks and solutions for 2026; Party building, government building, and mass mobilization work in 2025 and key tasks and solutions for 2026…/.
