Regarding the upcoming National Assembly session, the Prime Minister emphasized: This is the session with the heaviest and most record-breaking workload. But this is also a noble responsibility for the country's development, for the growth target of 2025 and the following years. The National Assembly and the Government are working day and night, working extra days off, all for the people, focusing on removing difficulties and obstacles for the people and businesses. Regarding the socio-economic situation in the first 9 months of 2025, the macro-economy continues to grow steadily; inflation is controlled, and the consequences of storms and floods are promptly overcome... This is a bright spot of the Government during its term. Foreign affairs have been strengthened, and the country's position has increasingly increased in the international arena. This is the result of the participation of the entire political system and the efforts of authorities at all levels.
The Prime Minister acknowledged and commended some of the achievements of Can Tho City in socio-economic development and social security, contributing to the overall development of the country; at the same time, frankly pointed out the limitations of Can Tho City. First of all, Can Tho must strive to be a pioneer in growth in the Mekong Delta region. There must be effective solutions to overcome the slow disbursement of public investment capital. According to the Prime Minister, after more than 3 months of operating the two-level local government, the results have basically been positive, and the people agree, because the government is closer to the people, for the people, and closer to the people.
The Prime Minister emphasized that Can Tho City needs to strengthen supervision, inspection, rearrangement of headquarters and effectively exploit and use surplus headquarters, avoiding waste... At the same time, continue to rearrange and redeploy staff in the spirit of clear people, clear work, clear authority, clear results. It is important that staff must strive to study and improve their qualifications. Can Tho City must be a pioneer and exemplary leader in all fields, not to be inferior to other provinces in the region. Can Tho's economic growth must lead the whole region, and cannot be lower than the national average.
The Prime Minister hopes that the leaders of Can Tho City in the new term will have enough strength and talent to overcome the limitations that have lasted for many years. Focus on speeding up the completion of key projects that have been stalled in recent times, such as the National Highway 91 expansion project, the Western Ring Road, the Oncology Hospital, etc. Those officials who hesitate and are afraid of responsibility must be dealt with and replaced immediately - especially those who are insensitive to the people, and absolutely must not be allowed to exist in the organization and apparatus. The leaders of Can Tho City must frankly identify the difficulties, not avoid the truth, and thereby change the way of doing things, bringing Can Tho to develop quickly and sustainably.
