General Secretary To Lam's visit and work: A great honor, new development momentum

Currently, our Party is implementing many historic policies of the nation; including reorganizing the apparatus, merging commune-level administrative units and implementing a two-level government model; promoting breakthroughs in science and technology development, innovation and digital transformation, bringing the country into a new era, an era of national growth; organizing preparations for Party congresses at all levels, towards the 14th National Party Congress...

Nghe An province is vigorously implementing the policies, strategies and orientations of the Central Government; including the special policy mechanism that the Central Government has reserved for Nghe An in Resolution No. 39, dated July 18, 2023 of the Politburo on building and developing Nghe An province to 2030, with a vision to 2045; at the same time, preparing for Party congresses at all levels and the Provincial Party Congress at the end of 2025.

In this context, Nghe An welcomed General Secretary To Lam and other leaders of the Party, National Assembly, Government, State and all the Central Ministries, Departments and Branches to work, which can be said to be an extremely great and meaningful opportunity. In particular, from the overall, comprehensive and profound assessments of General Secretary To Lam and the Central working delegation on what has been and has not been achieved, as well as suggesting important tasks and solutions, it will be an important basis for Party committees at all levels in the province to study very carefully to set out goals, targets, tasks and solutions with a mindset and action of drastic innovation and stronger breakthroughs, bringing Nghe An to develop faster in the new period, worthy of being the homeland of President Ho Chi Minh in the hearts of the people of the whole country and international friends.

Among the tasks that General Secretary To Lam set for Nghe An at the meeting with the Standing Committee of Nghe An Provincial Party Committee, the one I am most satisfied with and consider very important is to promote natural advantages, especially the people of Nghe An as the center and driving force of development; to transform administrative management into creation and service; to promote the development of economic sectors, especially the private economy, in order to promote the synthesis of resources and remove "bottlenecks", bringing Nghe An to develop faster and more sustainably in the new journey.

Cadres, party members and people of all walks of life place their trust in Party committees, authorities and the political system from the provincial to grassroots levels, on the basis of the attention and specific direction of the Central Government to soon realize it in parallel thinking and action.

Nghe An is the hometown of President Ho Chi Minh, the founder, trainer and leader of our Party. On the occasion of the 135th anniversary of President Ho Chi Minh's birthday (May 19, 1890 - May 19, 2025), General Secretary To Lam - the current highest leader of the Party, paid a visit and worked in Nghe An with great significance; both expressing his deep affection and gratitude for President Ho Chi Minh's great contributions to the nation and people of Vietnam; and at the same time affirming the importance of Nghe An in the current strategy of building and defending the Fatherland, emphasizing the role of the land of "spiritual land, talented people", where the spirit of loyal, talented and courageous people is nurtured. This is not only a historical land, but also a typical land of the aspiration to rise up, overcome difficulties, and conquer all peaks. On the other hand, it affirms the responsibility of the Central Government for the development of Nghe An homeland - something that Uncle Ho always yearned for during his lifetime, hoping that Nghe An would become a prosperous province.

During the working program with the Standing Committee of Nghe An Provincial Party Committee, General Secretary To Lam also mentioned President Ho Chi Minh's aspiration for his homeland Nghe An; at the same time, he set for Nghe An not only to "strive to become a well-off province" as Uncle Ho once instructed, but further, to become a modern development model of the Central region and a national growth pole.

Believing that with the attention of the Central Committee through the Politburo's issuance of Resolution No. 39 on building and developing Nghe An province to 2030, with a vision to 2045 and the strategic orientations of General Secretary To Lam for Nghe An during this working visit are important "guiding principles" for the Party Committee and people of Nghe An to create a breakthrough in thinking and action, bringing the homeland to develop quickly and sustainably in the new era.

Hopefully, the province will take advantage of this opportunity to transform itself even more strongly, especially creating more jobs, a modern living environment and opportunities for the young generation to study, live, contribute and start a business in their homeland; contributing to making Nghe An a national growth pole as General Secretary To Lam set out.

In recent times, under the leadership of General Secretary To Lam, our Party has continued to affirm the role and position of Vietnam in the international arena; there have been many changes in the fight against negative factors and better care for people's lives with the campaign to eliminate temporary and dilapidated housing for people nationwide; the policy of exempting tuition fees for preschool and primary school students...; and in the near future, exempting hospital fees for people. All of these are creating an exciting spirit and trust among the people in the leadership and management of the country by our Party, National Assembly, Government and State.

For Nghe An, having General Secretary To Lam and the Central working delegation visit and work with specific directions and instructions for the province is a great opportunity and joy for the Party Committee and people of Nghe An. With this joy, I hope that the leaders of Nghe An province will soon follow the direction of General Secretary To Lam and the Central working delegation; focusing on directing the effective implementation of programs and projects under the National Target Program on the development of mountainous areas and ethnic minorities; the effective sustainable poverty reduction program for mountainous areas and ethnic minorities; contributing to improving people's lives, shortening the development gap between regions in the province; creating "resonance" for Nghe An to develop sustainably.

At the same time, the province also needs to focus on building a team of cadres from the province to the commune in the new period to meet new requirements, especially leaders; properly implementing the working style of being close to the people, learning from the people, explaining to the people, making the people believe, serving the people; meeting the requirements of revolutionary ethics of cadres according to Ho Chi Minh's thought: "whatever is beneficial to the people, do your best to do it, whatever is harmful to the people, do your best to avoid it", for the common development goal of the homeland and the country.

On the occasion of the visit and working session on May 15, 2025 in Nghe An by General Secretary To Lam and the Central working delegation, Nghe An youth joined in the atmosphere expressing joy and emotion with the attention that the comrades had for their home province; at the same time expressing their agreement and high unity with the close instructions and profound orientation of the General Secretary as well as the enthusiastic suggestions and comments of the comrades in the working delegation.

Our country is entering a "New Era, an era of national growth", in which Nghe An with its potential, rich tradition of patriotism, revolution and the "heartfelt, worthy" leadership of its leaders along with the consensus and high determination of cadres, party members and people are creating many new opportunities for the development of a modern locality in the new era. With the revolution of streamlining the apparatus in the spirit of Resolution 18-NQ/TW dated October 25, 2017 of the Central Executive Committee, ensuring "lean, compact, strong, effective, efficient and effective"; the effective implementation of Resolution No. 57-NQ/TW dated December 22, 2024 of the Politburo on breakthroughs in science, technology development, innovation and national digital transformation is one of the breakthrough, strategic and long-term solutions.

The Youth Union is well aware of the importance of science, technology, innovation, and digital transformation in the current context as well as the position, role, and responsibility of the young generation in the country's digital transformation. With youthfulness, enthusiasm, and the spirit of "dare to think, dare to do", the youth will always take the lead, promoting their role as a pioneering force in applying technology and artificial intelligence (AI), while proactively contributing initiatives and creative solutions to building a digital platform. The Youth Union will always strive to be a strong driving force, contributing to the successful implementation of the goals of Resolution No. 57-NQ/TW and Resolution No. 39-NQ/TW dated July 18, 2023 of the Politburo on building and developing Nghe An province to 2030, with a vision to 2045, contributing to the successful implementation of the goal of building and developing Nghe An province.

Working with the Standing Committee of Nghe An Provincial Party Committee, General Secretary To Lam suggested the development orientation of the locality in the coming time. In particular, General Secretary To Lam especially noted that Nghe An province needs to focus on developing the private economy to become "the most important driving force" of the economy. Nghe An needs to nurture a new generation of Nghe An entrepreneurs, who are ambitious, brave, intelligent, dedicated and have vision. Authorities at all levels must consider the success of enterprises as the success of the locality, proactively remove difficulties, protect property rights, ensure investment safety and create a transparent, fair, trustworthy and low-cost business environment.

This is the source of encouragement and recognition from the Party and State leaders for businesses. In recent times, the business community in the province has received the attention and support of the provincial leaders, departments, branches and localities, contributing to promoting the production and business of the unit.

However, the business community hopes that the province will continue to deploy and guide the implementation of the Party and State's policies and guidelines sooner and faster; eliminate unnecessary business conditions, overlapping and inappropriate regulations that hinder the development of businesses; and end the situation of overlapping, duplicated and unnecessarily prolonged inspections and checks. To realize the slogan of the government accompanying businesses, considering businesses and investors as service objects, the government must first understand businesses and build a spirit of serving businesses. Nghe An province needs to continue to improve the business investment environment, reform administration, shorten the "distance" from businesses to governments at all levels, promote the private economy to grow strongly, and make important contributions to the overall achievements of the province and the country.

As a resident of Anh Son district, I deeply feel the attention of the Party and State to our province, especially through the recent visit and direction of General Secretary To Lam. His presence not only brings excitement but also strengthens the belief in a brighter future for Nghe An, even for areas with many difficulties like our homeland. We clearly see the expectations of the Party and State on the potential of Nghe An in the new era.

The General Secretary’s instructions have opened up a new horizon, urging the province to grow even stronger. We believe that with this special attention, Nghe An will have more practical and effective policies for comprehensive development, not only in economic centers but also spreading to remote areas such as Anh Son.

People expect that, in this new era, Nghe An will have great strides in economy, society, culture, ensuring that people's lives are increasingly improved. In particular, we hope that such development will be associated with the preservation of traditional cultural values ​​of ethnic minorities in the mountainous areas, preserving the identity of the homeland. I hope that this spirit will be spread, specifically through the practical work of each party member, so that from there, it can spread and lead the people. We, the people, believe that, with the wise leadership of Party committees and authorities at all levels and the consensus of the entire population, Nghe An will truly rise up and become a modern development model of the Central region in the new era as General Secretary To Lam emphasized.
