Quickly leverage the mechanisms from the new Resolution to develop Ho Chi Minh City.

On the afternoon of December 15th, speaking at the closing of the second meeting of the Ho Chi Minh City Party Committee, term 2025-2030, Central Party Committee Secretary and Ho Chi Minh City Party Secretary Tran Luu Quang requested that the mechanisms from the amended Resolution 98/2023/QH15 on piloting some specific mechanisms and policies for the development of Ho Chi Minh City be utilized as soon as possible, in order to promote the city's development.

Ho Chi Minh City Party Secretary Tran Luu Quang delivered the opening remarks.

According to Ho Chi Minh City Party Secretary Tran Luu Quang, the amended Resolution 98/2023/QH15, recently passed by the National Assembly , is considered a "new version" with many groundbreaking contents. These include the TOD (Transit-Oriented Development) mechanism, allowing the city to retain 100% of revenue from land exploitation along transportation routes for development investment; implementing only one master plan instead of multiple types of plans; clearly identifying strategic investors with streamlined procedures; and establishing a free trade zone in the Cai Mep Ha area, opening up opportunities to attract investment and create added value for growth...

Comrade Tran Luu Quang acknowledged that there is still much work to be done in the initial stages, and all these efforts have only one goal: to improve the lives of the people and businesses in the city. People must see a higher quality of life, and businesses must see this as an opportunity and fertile ground for profitable ventures. Based on this, the City Party Secretary emphasized that cadres and Party members must adopt a new mindset, a new way of thinking that is more courageous, flexible, and responsible; and coordinate better. The principle is to carefully manage time, act decisively from the beginning of 2026, and create clear changes from the first projects, actions, and tasks… in order to inspire everyone to strive for success.

In addition, Ho Chi Minh City Party Secretary Tran Luu Quang requested the Party Committee of the People's Committee of the city to quickly develop a plan to implement the Resolution amending Resolution 98/2023/QH15, as this is a "diamond" opportunity that should not be missed and requires the most effective approach; he also hoped that delegates would propose additional special mechanisms within the authority of the city or the central government to overcome difficulties for the city.

Ho Chi Minh City Party Secretary Tran Luu Quang urged city officials and Party members to uphold the spirit of "not avoiding difficult tasks, not waiting for new ones, and not shirking responsibility for interconnected matters." He also instructed the City People's Committee Party Committee to study a mechanism for rewarding local communes and wards with budget allocations in the following year for effectively carrying out important tasks, such as land compensation and resettlement.
