City People's Council delegates voted to approve the resolution at the 10th session.

A policy decision that is appropriate to the reality.

Four thematic sessions and one regular session have been held, along with 77 resolutions passed so far – these figures speak volumes about the dynamism and high intensity of work of the City People's Council. However, the important thing is not the quantity, but the quality of transformation. From the parliamentary chamber to the field, the words have become action. The resolutions do not stop at administrative management or public investment, but cover many practical areas such as social housing development, urban planning, heritage preservation, ethnic policies, social security, agricultural support, and national target programs. Each resolution passed acts as a "conductor" transmitting momentum to the government apparatus and the entire grassroots political system.

One prime example of this transformation is Resolution 46/NQ-HĐND, dated June 20, 2025, of the Hue City People's Council on adjusting and supplementing the medium-term public investment plan. Thanks to this resolution, the city has flexibly reallocated budget savings, prioritizing urgent public works, especially in suburban areas where urbanization is happening rapidly but infrastructure has not kept pace. Another example is Resolution 33/NQ-HĐND, dated April 25, 2025, on supporting the construction and renovation of housing for people with meritorious service to the revolution. What is noteworthy is not only the humane content but also the speed of subsequent action. The City People's Committee quickly issued an implementation plan. Working groups were established, dossiers were reviewed, and houses were gradually repaired or rebuilt using public resources and the political responsibility of the policymakers.

In the context of the city implementing a two-tiered local government model, a key focus in recent resolutions of the Hue City People's Council is the group of contents concerning organizational structure and decentralization of management. Resolution No. 11/2025/NQ-HĐND, adopted at the 24th Special Session, has effectively resolved the long-standing bottleneck regarding budget allocation between the city and ward levels. The new mechanism allows wards to be more proactive in spending, especially in environmental protection, urban order, and land management – ​​areas that are highly localized and cannot simply rely on coordination from higher levels. This is a strong step in administrative reform, not only reorganizing the structure but also redefining the role of the grassroots level in performing state management functions.

At its 10th session, the City People's Council continued to synchronize policies with the new legal framework by amending resolutions related to land matters to conform with the 2024 Land Law and the 2025 amended Law on Organization of Local Government. Resolutions No. 32, 34/2024/NQ-HĐND, and 04/2025/NQ-HĐND were adjusted to update authority from the district level to the commune level, while restructuring specialized agencies towards greater efficiency. The authority to provide housing support for ethnic minorities was also transferred to the commune level, which is closer to the people, understands them better, and can process requests more quickly. These changes are not merely institutional technicalities, but reflect a new vision for urban governance: prioritizing effective service to the people as the highest evaluation criterion.

Tools for serving the people

Of course, even the best quality resolutions can become meaningless without proper oversight and serious implementation. This is why the City People's Council pays great attention to post-implementation review. In the first half of 2025, the Standing Committee of the City People's Council organized a thematic oversight session and coordinated more than 20 on-site oversight sessions. Numerous shortcomings were identified: slow disbursement of public investment, lack of coordinated inter-agency cooperation, and newly merged localities still struggling with the two-tiered local government model. But importantly, the conclusions of the oversight sessions are not just for information, but for action. The recommendations of the People's Council have been accepted by the City People's Committee, and specific plans for addressing these issues have been developed for the last six months of the year. In this process, oversight is no longer a formality, but a tool to sharpen implementation capacity.

The vitality of the People's Council is also measured by the distance between the government and the people. With over 130 opinions and suggestions from voters received in the first half of 2025, 70% of which related to infrastructure, planning, and social welfare, the City People's Council has demonstrated the substantive role of elected representatives. When people see that their opinions are not ignored, when they hear clear commitments regarding progress and responsibility, trust and consensus are enhanced, and the People's Council, though seemingly dry, becomes a bridge connecting the government and the people.

Elected bodies are affirming a holistic approach where economic growth goes hand in hand with cultural preservation, and improving material living standards is linked to caring for spiritual well-being. Above all, in every policy decision issued, one can see an image of a government that dares to think, dares to act, and dares to take responsibility, where resolutions are truly tools to serve the people.
