Commune leaders report at the Conference

Following the merger, the Party committees and local governments of the communes have proactively and decisively led and directed the implementation of political , economic, and social tasks. The government apparatus quickly stabilized. Basic economic and social development tasks were completed, meeting and exceeding the set targets. Political and ideological education saw many innovations; inspection, supervision, and Party discipline enforcement were strengthened; and the activities of the Fatherland Front and other political and social organizations continued to be effective.

The local economies maintained stable development: Total budget revenue of the 13 communes reached over 398.925 billion VND; trade and services gradually experienced sustainable growth, with over 339 enterprises and over 2,954 business households; 484 projects were received and implemented in the area, contributing to infrastructure improvement. The socio-cultural sector showed many highlights; social welfare was given attention, and people's lives gradually improved; the multidimensional poverty rate was 6.623%. Administrative reform and digital transformation were accelerated. The education and health sectors maintained effectiveness, meeting the requirements for human resource development and community health care. National defense and security were maintained, and social order and safety were ensured…
Besides the advantages, localities also highlighted difficulties and shortcomings such as: cramped facilities and offices; lack of equipment and weak information technology infrastructure; shortage of staff and specialized personnel. In addition, transportation infrastructure is deteriorating, with many major roads posing potential safety risks; the severe impact of floods and Typhoon No. 11 caused landslides, damaged infrastructure, and significant property losses. Furthermore, some non-budgetary investment projects face difficulties with procedures and investor capacity, leading to slow implementation progress; some localities lack sufficient staff compared to the allocated number, and lack specialized personnel, especially in the fields of digital transformation, finance, accounting, and land management.
