At the Conference, the Working Group approved the draft report on the results of the second inspection and supervision of the Standing Committee of the Hanoi City Party Committee regarding: the organization and operation of units, agencies, and localities after the implementation of the two-tiered local government; tasks and solutions to ensure the achievement of growth targets according to the Resolution of the 14th National Congress of the Party; the leadership, direction, and organization of the implementation of Resolution No. 57-NQ/TW of the Politburo on breakthroughs in the development of science, technology, innovation, and national digital transformation and related documents; and the review, evaluation, and ranking of the quality of Party organizations, Party members, and collective and individual leaders and managers at all levels.

Speaking at the conference, General Secretary and President To Lam affirmed that Hanoi has seriously and proactively implemented and initially achieved many important and comprehensive results on inspection and supervision topics. The city has made many innovations in leadership, direction, management, and implementation. The city has led, directed, managed, and organized the implementation of many difficult tasks, many new things, and even unprecedented issues, which have been resolved systematically and fundamentally, with specific responsibilities and results. The people are very pleased and supportive.

Acknowledging and commending the initial efforts and achievements of Hanoi, the General Secretary and President emphasized that there must be absolutely no complacency, no hesitation, and no satisfaction with the initial results. Instead, efforts must be intensified to improve the pace and effectiveness of the work of the capital's political system, aligning it with long-term goals. The General Secretary and President pointed out that it must be frankly acknowledged that the current results are merely pioneering, laying the initial foundation, and are not yet truly fundamental, sustainable, and consistent. The topics covered in this inspection and supervision are all very new, difficult, and unprecedented issues, requiring significant innovation, facing high pressure for implementation, and having a profound impact on the entire political system and development model of the capital.

The General Secretary and President assessed that Hanoi has made great efforts in operating the two-tiered local government model, achieving quite clear initial results. He also requested that Hanoi take the lead in building a modern urban governance model, digitizing and managing the city digitally, minimizing the "request and grant" mechanism, reducing administrative intermediaries, and minimizing meetings and formalities. He emphasized the need to pay special attention to building a strong team of grassroots officials and improving the efficiency of commune and ward governments in the capital city. The Standing Committee of the Hanoi Party Committee directed the urgent rectification of shortcomings and limitations identified in the inspection and supervision of grassroots officials, noting that the quality is uneven, with some areas experiencing localized surpluses and shortages, and that the advisory, management, and digital transformation capabilities of some officials do not meet requirements.

The General Secretary and President welcomed Hanoi's target of achieving a growth rate of 11% or higher, exceeding the national target, clearly demonstrating the capital's leading role as an exemplary leader. However, to achieve this goal, development cannot continue according to the old model and old habits.

The General Secretary and President requested that the city promptly concretize and implement Resolution 02 of the Politburo; the Law on the Capital City and the Capital City Planning with a 100-year vision. Along with economic development, the city must pay attention to social welfare and healthcare for the people. Simultaneously, while planning and constructing large urban areas in the future, investment in social housing, rental housing, or housing policies and programs must be implemented to serve the majority of people with limited economic resources, ensuring that no one is left behind.

The city continues to concretize the policy of building socialist communes and wards with specific criteria and standards, ensuring that they truly serve as "models" for urban infrastructure, social governance, and people's lives, making them desirable places to live and visit for all Vietnamese people, thereby replicating the model in localities that meet the necessary conditions and criteria.

Regarding the implementation of Resolution 57, the General Secretary and President stated that it is necessary to frankly acknowledge that scientific and technological activities and innovation have not yet created many products with widespread impact, focusing mainly on digital transformation; while digital transformation is still not synchronized; data is still scattered; many systems are not interconnected; and in some places there is still a situation of "data fragmentation"... The core spirit of the Resolution is to transform the development model based on science, technology, innovation, and digital transformation. Simply purchasing equipment, developing software, or digitizing records does not automatically mean that Resolution 57 has been successfully implemented. Hanoi has all the conditions to become a leading innovation center in the country. But to achieve that, it must truly have an innovative mindset; it must dare to experiment; We must embrace even more radical innovation… We must continue to concretize the core contents of Resolution 57 into specific programs and plans with the goal of making science, technology, innovation, and digital transformation the main driving force in the growth and development of the Capital in the coming period.

The General Secretary and President urged the city to deeply understand the need to innovate the evaluation and classification of cadres, linking it with their placement, utilization, training, planning, and screening. Cadre evaluation cannot be merely 형식적인 (formalistic), but must be substantive, concrete, and measurable through results, products, work efficiency, and the level of satisfaction of citizens and businesses; good performance must be recognized and valued; unsatisfactory performance must be promptly adjusted and replaced appropriately; it is unacceptable to set very high development standards while being complacent with a cadre lacking ambition, innovation, and responsibility, and working half-heartedly.

Based on the Politburo's regulations on annual and quarterly evaluation and ranking of cadres, and the recent policy on establishing specialized research committees and teams for policy research, the Hanoi City Party Committee has concretized and implemented these regulations in accordance with the specific characteristics of the capital city, contributing to a substantial transformation in the evaluation, ranking, placement, and utilization of cadres, meeting the requirements of the new phase.

The General Secretary and President emphasized that the spirit of this inspection and supervision is to identify problems, resolve difficulties, and promote the implementation of tasks; it is absolutely not intended to create formal pressure or a mentality of avoidance. After the supervision, the most important thing is to act immediately.

The General Secretary and President requested the Standing Committee of the Hanoi City Party Committee to: urgently review all conclusions and recommendations of the inspection team, develop a specific plan for rectification, clearly defining tasks, responsibilities, timelines, and accountability; continue to thoroughly disseminate the thematic issues throughout the city's political system, avoiding situations where the city level is well-informed but implementation at the lower levels remains superficial and mechanical; urgently conduct a preliminary review of the practical operation of the two-tiered local government model and the rearrangement of villages and residential areas according to central government guidelines, ensuring quality and progress as prescribed; and continue to strongly innovate internal inspection and supervision work towards collaboration, early warning, and problem-solving, preventing inspections from becoming an obstacle to innovation and development.
