Accordingly, the Regional Coordination Council is determined not to be an administrative level but an effective organizational model to consider and decide on important regional issues, contributing to solving problems that a locality in the region cannot solve, and at the same time being able to solve problems that have not reached consensus or are beyond the decision-making authority of ministries, branches and localities in the region.
Decision 826 on the establishment of the Red River Delta Regional Coordination Council sets out 11 tasks and powers of the Regional Coordination Council, emphasizing that coordination must ensure the principles of consensus, equality, publicity, transparency, and compliance with legal provisions.
At the same time, Decision 45 on promulgating the Regulations on the operation of the Regional Coordination Council has stipulated 7 coordination methods on: Establishing and organizing the implementation of planning; Investment and development; Training and using labor; Building mechanisms and policies; Solving regional linkage issues; Regional linkage coordination plan; Regional information system database.
Reporting at the conference, Minister of Planning and Investment Nguyen Chi Dung said that despite its important contribution to the country's economic growth, the development of the Red River Delta has been facing many challenges and has revealed many limitations and weaknesses such as: Localities have developed unevenly, growth depends heavily on capital and labor; the budget revenue structure is not sustainable; some localities depend too much on a few large-scale FDI foreign investment projects; Industrial parks lack linkages, and industry clusters have not yet been formed; The urban system has developed unreasonably and unsustainably, with many shortcomings.
In addition, land and resource management still has many limitations; environmental pollution is increasingly complicated, especially wastewater, hazardous waste, traffic congestion; the overload of central end-line hospitals in Hanoi has not been resolved; Links and cooperation between localities in the region are not tight, low efficiency, especially issues related to labor, consumer markets, traffic connection systems, etc.
Therefore, Resolution No. 30-NQ/TW dated November 23, 2022 of the Politburo on socio-economic development and ensuring national defense and security in the Red River Delta region to 2030, with a vision to 2045, clearly identified the need to "build a strong enough regional linkage institution, ensuring effective coordination and linkage in regional development" to innovate the way of operation, coordination and linkage between localities in the region to promote the highest efficiency of the potentials and strengths of each locality in the region.
Accordingly, the Red River Delta is oriented to become a region of rapid and sustainable development, with a reasonable economic structure, imbued with national cultural identity; modern industry, services and high-tech, organic, green, circular agriculture with high economic value; becoming a center of education and training of high-quality human resources of the whole country; leading in the development of science and technology, innovation, digital economy, digital society; with synchronous, modern socio-economic infrastructure, smart urban areas, and high connectivity.
Environmental pollution, traffic congestion and flooding have been basically resolved. In particular, the capital Hanoi "Cultured - Civilized - Modern", becomes the center and driving force for regional and national development, striving to be on par with the capitals of developed countries in the region.
