These include 105 projects in the fields of culture, social affairs, and social welfare, along with hundreds of community-oriented activities. In addition, the Ho Chi Minh City People's Council approved a resolution allocating over 179 billion VND to care for nearly 342,000 people and households, ranging from war veterans and social welfare beneficiaries to poor and near-poor households and other disadvantaged cases. These actions not only commemorate a historical milestone but also affirm a consistent viewpoint of Ho Chi Minh City: development should ultimately translate into a higher quality of life for its citizens.

Lesson 2: Ho Chi Minh City's leading position and aspiration to reach international standards.(Chinhphu.vn) - As the largest economic, cultural, and innovation center in the country, Ho Chi Minh City always carries the mission of a leading "locomotive." Facing new opportunities, the city not only strives to affirm its solid position domestically but also proactively innovates, shaping the image of a modern megacity, confidently entering the global arena with a new vision and position.

Remembering Uncle Ho's teachings, let's build Phu Tho into a prosperous and strong province.More than 70 years have passed since the historic autumn of 1954, at the Well Temple on Nghia Linh Mountain, where President Ho Chi Minh instructed the officers and soldiers of the Vanguard Army Division before they returned to take over the capital: "The Hung Kings built the nation, and we, their descendants, must together preserve it." This sacred teaching was not only a command from the heart, embodying the great national unity ideology of the President, but also became a guiding principle, empowering the Party Committee, government, and people of all ethnic groups in Phu Tho province to unite, overcome difficulties, and build their homeland into an increasingly prosperous, beautiful, and civilized place.

Over half a century has passed, and the urban landscape has transformed day by day, but the most fundamental and enduring value remains the quality of life for its people. Ho Chi Minh City always aspires to reach further, but does not view economic growth as the sole objective. This is reflected in a series of major policies of the city, from investing in transportation infrastructure, urban beautification, renovating old apartment buildings, developing social housing, expanding the healthcare and education networks, to administrative reform, digital transformation, and policies caring for war veterans, workers, and vulnerable groups… Each policy aims to improve the quality of life for its citizens.

This perspective is further concretized in the Resolution of the Ho Chi Minh City Party Congress for the 2025-2030 term, with many targets directly linked to people's lives. Specifically, from 2026, people will receive free health check-ups at least once a year; the health insurance coverage rate will reach 95% and progress towards universal coverage by 2030. The city also aims to develop nearly 200,000 social housing units by 2030; average GRDP per capita will reach approximately 14,000-15,000 USD; and the human development index will be above 0.8.

The 50-year journey named after President Ho Chi Minh also represents a path where the city has steadfastly adhered to the principle of people-centered development. While urban space may continue to expand and new contexts demand more radical breakthroughs, the people remain at the center – both as creators and direct beneficiaries of development. This is also the most enduring value that the city has persistently cultivated throughout half a century under the name of President Ho Chi Minh.
