Dear congress!

In the 2020 - 2025 term, the implementation of tasks in various fields took place in a context of many difficulties and challenges, including the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic; the international economic - political - security environment had many fluctuations and was unpredictable; at the same time, many major and urgent tasks of the revolution to reorganize and streamline the organizational apparatus had to be carried out; the Party Committee, government and people of the old wards and communes, now merged into Thanh Vinh ward, were united, made efforts, had high determination and achieved many important and comprehensive results in all fields.

The economy continues to grow well: In the period of 2021 - 2025, the average economic growth rate is estimated at 8.9%, higher than the average of the whole province, the total product value by 2025 is estimated at more than 48 trillion VND.

Urban management has been strengthened; traffic infrastructure has been invested in and renovated; the urban appearance has improved with the formation of new urban areas, apartments, commercial and service complexes, etc., contributing to shaping the appearance of a civilized and modern city.

The cultural and social fields have seen positive changes. Education and health facilities have been invested in, basically meeting the needs. The material and spiritual life of the people has been increasingly improved. National defense and security have been maintained; social order and safety have been ensured.

Party building work continues to be focused on. The political system is consolidated, and government operations have undergone many innovations towards improving effectiveness and efficiency. The Fatherland Front and socio-political organizations have played a good role, contributing to strengthening the great national unity bloc.

In particular, after the organization and streamlining of the apparatus, the Party Committee, the government and the political system of Thanh Vinh ward quickly stabilized the organization and deployed work promptly and smoothly; without interruption in serving the people and businesses; demonstrating a sense of responsibility, initiative and high efficiency in management and operation according to the new urban government model.

The above outstanding results are very valuable; demonstrating the spirit of solidarity, persistent efforts, effectively promoting the potential and internal strength of the ward and creating a solid premise for the new development stage of Thanh Vinh ward.

On behalf of the Provincial Party Standing Committee, I would like to acknowledge, highly appreciate and warmly commend the important achievements that the Party Committee, government and people of the wards (before implementing the 2-level local government) which were rearranged into Thanh Vinh ward today have achieved in the past term.

I highly appreciate the seriousness and openness of the Ward Party Executive Committee in frankly acknowledging the shortcomings and limitations through the Political Report presented to the Congress. I propose that the Congress continue to promote democracy, focus on intelligence, discuss deeply, analyze more clearly the limitations, shortcomings and causes; especially the subjective causes in the implementation of the goals, targets and tasks that have not been achieved in the past term. On that basis, propose practical and highly feasible solutions to thoroughly overcome the limitations, creating a clearer, faster and more sustainable change in the new term.

Dear Congress!

Thanh Vinh Ward was formed on the basis of the central administrative units of the former Vinh city, carrying within it the depth of historical - cultural - revolutionary traditions of the“Heroic Red City”; has a very important role and position in the urban development space of the wards in the area and of the province. The birth of Thanh Vinh ward is not only the result of the arrangement of administrative units but also the expectation of a modern, civilized, identity-rich urban model with high leadership and diffusion.

Entering the new term, Thanh Vinh ward is facing many favorable opportunities but also many difficulties and challenges. The political - economic - security situation in the world and in the region is still complicated; the urbanization process is taking place rapidly, the demand for serving the people is increasing, while the new government apparatus has just been completed, and is in the process of restructuring and governance according to the two-level local government model.

To successfully achieve the goal:"Comprehensive innovation, breakthrough development, striving to build Thanh Vinh urban area into a civilized and modern one, the center of Nghe An province".First of all, I propose that this Congress needs to complete well the very important requirements and tasks of clearly orienting the long-term vision, redesigning the spatial structure, the driving force for urban development of the new Vinh City and identifying breakthrough solutions for the entire term. I would like to emphasize some major orientations for the Congress to discuss and unify into a specific action program:

The first,The Standing Committee and the Party Executive Committee of Thanh Vinh Ward need to continue to closely follow and realize the development goals according to the orientation of the Politburo, the Provincial Party Committee and the plans approved by the Government; at the same time, grasp, adjust and catch up with the trend of modern and civilized urban development.

Focus on reviewing, arranging, and assigning staff to ensure sufficient positions, meeting quality requirements in terms of knowledge, political qualities, professional capacity, proactively applying digital technology, and exploiting digital platforms to improve management efficiency. In particular, the staff must have the desire to innovate, dare to think, dare to do, dare to take responsibility, dare to sacrifice for the common good, be close to the people, for the people, for the common development; meet current requirements and long-term vision, commensurate with the new stature and position of the ward.

This is an extremely important task, decisive for the successful implementation of the goals and tasks of the Congress, and decisive for the development of Thanh Vinh ward.

Monday,Focus on management, planning and urban development in a sustainable and modern direction.

Strictly manage land use planning, architectural planning, construction order, and urban order. Review, adjust, and supplement planning to ensure consistency and continuity of the old Vinh city planning, in accordance with the requirements of the new urban space.

Strengthening connections with wards and neighboring localities; maintaining and expanding cooperation with a number of urban areas inside and outside the province, in order to create an open, interconnected, comprehensive, and tight space, suitable for the development trend of a dynamic, modern, and civilized urban area.

Mobilize all resources, especially the positive response of the people, agencies and units in the area, to create high consensus in building new urban spaces with harmonious, modern and unique architectural landscapes. Prioritize investment in construction, upgrading and renovation of technical and social infrastructure; protect the environment and adapt to climate change.

I propose that during this term, we need to focus on promptly resolving the environmental pollution situation in the Citadel moat area and Dong Vinh Industrial Park; proactively and actively coordinate with sectors and levels to completely resolve old and unsafe collective housing areas; resolutely handle "suspended projects" in the ward to create more room and space for new development.

Tuesday,Focus on developing the economy in a green, high-quality, and creative direction associated with synchronous digital transformation.

Thanh Vinh Ward Party Committee needs to focus on leading economic development in the direction of: green economy - innovation - creativity - digital transformation with modern technology infrastructure. Focus on effectively building digital government - smart public services; orderly, safe and smart traffic; digital hospitals and schools...; creating a convenient, safe and sustainable urban living environment.

In particular, the Ward Public Administration Service Center must be a typical image of a government close to the people, for the people, professional, modern; promptly and accurately resolve all administrative procedures for people and businesses; strive to become a bright spot in implementing the new organizational model to replicate throughout the province.

Maximize the available potential in terms of geographical location, infrastructure, especially the human potential of Thanh Vinh to develop high-quality tourism - services - trade, creating a driving force for sustainable growth. Pay attention to supporting individual business households to transform and develop into enterprises, promote the formation of a creative startup ecosystem in the fields of trade, digital technology, etc.

Focus on building an open, transparent and friendly business environment; proactively and promptly remove difficulties, support people, small traders and businesses in the area to actively produce and do business, create more and more branded products and services; create attractiveness for many domestic and foreign businesses to invest, contributing to promoting rapid socio-economic development.

Synchronously develop education, health, culture, and sports in a high-quality direction. Actively coordinate with relevant departments and branches to focus on building Thanh Vinh ward into an important part of the central space of the North Central region in terms of education and training, science and technology, physical education, sports, etc. in the spirit of Resolution No. 39 of the Politburo on building and developing Nghe An province to 2030, with a vision to 2045.

Investing in renovating Vinh Citadel and cultural relics and cultural addresses to become attractive historical - cultural - heritage - experience spaces, conveniently connecting with relic and scenic destinations in the wards, connecting rich and diverse historical - cultural - tourism spaces both inside and outside the province.

Building a civilized, modern cultural environment, imbued with "Vinh quality". Focus on building a civilized urban lifestyle, office culture, and behavioral culture in the community. Complete and implement well the conventions on cultural blocks and civilized alleys. Build Thanh Vinh people who represent the soul and character of Nghe An people - intelligence, bravery, generosity, and loyalty; and are dynamic, creative, friendly, and elegant."very Vinh".

In fact, many linguists and phonologists highly appreciate the Vinh accent, which is both typical of the Nghe - Tinh dialect, but "light", mixed and very popular.

Pay attention to improving the material and spiritual life of the people, especially policy households and families in difficult circumstances.

Thursday,Strengthen national defense and security with the key task of maintaining security and order in the area. Focus on synchronously implementing solutions to ensure security and order; effectively prevent and stop all types of crimes and social evils, not allowing "hot spots" of political security and social order and safety to arise.

Maximize the central role and subject of the people; effectively implement the motto "people know, people discuss, people do, people inspect, people supervise, people benefit"; consider each citizen as "eyes and ears", an extension of the functional forces in detecting, preventing, fighting against violations of the law, maintaining peace in residential areas. When people truly participate and are truly united, each block and ward will become a solid fortress of security and order - the foundation for sustainable development.

Enhance the role and responsibility of the grassroots police force, build the ward police force into a truly model unit in maintaining security and order, ensuring the area is "clean of drugs". Actively coordinate with other sectors in preventing and responding to natural disasters, fires, explosions, and unexpected incidents related to security and order.

Friday,Continue to promote the building and rectification of the Party and the political system of the ward to be strong, streamlined, and operate effectively, efficiently, and effectively, quickly responding to the requirements and major tasks of the two-level local government. Urgently complete the organization of the Party, government, Fatherland Front and socio-political organizations in the direction of professionalism, modernity, openness, transparency, closeness to the people, and service to the people.

Innovate thinking and operating methods from passive management to creative and service-oriented administration; take people and business satisfaction as a measure of the quality of government operations.

Enhance the capacity to mobilize the masses, promote the supervisory and critical role of the Fatherland Front and mass organizations. Strengthen the fight against corruption, negativity and waste. Implement well the Law on Grassroots Democracy, receive and dialogue with the people; promptly resolve the people's legitimate and legal opinions and recommendations.

Pay attention to the work of Party development. Promote the leadership role of the Party Committee, raise the responsibility of the leader in leading, directing, operating and solving work. In particular, it is necessary to always uphold the spirit of solidarity - which is a precious tradition of our nation, our Party and our people. In the current context, the spirit of solidarity according to Ho Chi Minh's thought must be respected and promoted more than ever. Only then can we resolve all difficulties and challenges; overcome personal "ego", group interests, localism, and ensure the Resolution of the Congress "Success, success, great success".

A very important content is that immediately after the Congress, the Ward Party Committee needs to urgently concretize the Resolution with practical programs, plans, and projects that are close to reality; choose key, key tasks that have leading and spreading effects to focus on directing decisively, creating clear changes right from the beginning of the term. The action program needs to be offensive, with clear people, clear work, clear completion time, clear results, and clear in inspection and supervision.

Dear Congress!

Inheriting the rich tradition of Vinh City - proud of the homeland of beloved Uncle Ho; promoting the potential and advantages of a central ward, I hope that the Party Committee, government and people of Thanh Vinh Ward will continue to uphold the spirit of solidarity, innovation, take drastic actions, and be determined to successfully implement the Resolution of the first Ward Party Congress with the highest and best results.

I believe that, with its rich tradition and foundation that has been painstakingly built through many stages of development, Thanh Vinh ward will continue to affirm its role as a connecting and spreading nucleus for the urbanization process, modern and civilized development; making worthy contributions to the rapid and sustainable development of Nghe An province - the homeland of the great President Ho Chi Minh.

The Provincial Party Committee, People's Council, People's Committee, and Fatherland Front Committee will always pay attention and create the most favorable conditions for Thanh Vinh Ward to successfully implement the Resolution of the First Party Congress of the Ward, term 2025 - 2030; gradually build Thanh Vinh Ward to become a leading unit in urban management innovation, developing high-quality services, implementing modern urban government as expected by the people and the Provincial Party Executive Committee.

Once again, on behalf of the Provincial Party Standing Committee, I wish all delegates, distinguished guests, and all comrades good health, happiness, and success.
