PV: The year-end meeting of the Provincial People's Council is very important. Could you please tell us the contents discussed at the meeting?Kmeeting25th?

Comrade Hoang Nghia Hieu:In 2024, despite many difficulties, the province's socio-economic development situation still achieved quite comprehensive results; it is expected that 27/28 targets in Resolution No. 61/NQ-HDND, dated December 7, 2023 of the Provincial People's Council on the socio-economic development plan for 2024 will be achieved and exceeded. The economy continues to recover strongly in a positive trend, with growth in the following quarter higher than the previous quarter. Nghe An's GRDP this year reached 9.01%.

State budget revenue is estimated at VND23,751 billion, reaching 149.3% of the estimate assigned by the Provincial People's Council. Total export turnover reached nearly 3.7 billion USD, exceeding the target of the 19th Provincial Party Congress Resolution for the 4th year. Attracting foreign direct investment (FDI) continues to be a bright spot, estimated at 1.696 billion USD for the whole year. The disbursement rate of public investment capital is expected to reach over 97%. The fields of culture and society continue to receive attention for development; basic social security policies are guaranteed; people's spiritual and material lives continue to improve; national defense, security, order and social safety are maintained.

In addition to the basic achievements, the socio-economic situation of the province is also facing many challenges and problems that need to be overcome such as: Production and business activities are still difficult; the progress of implementing some programs and projects is still slow, especially the site clearance work is facing many obstacles; the quality of human resources is limited; State management in some areas is still inadequate, although administrative reform has had positive changes, it has not yet met the requirements; the lives of a part of the people, especially in remote areas, ethnic minority areas are still difficult; the security and order situation in some areas, drug crimes, high technology, online fraud, etc. are potentially complicated. The tasks set for the coming time are very heavy, while the 5-year socio-economic development plan (2021 - 2025) has only more than 1 year left to end.

The 25th session takes place over 2 days (December 5 and 6, 2024), and is of great significance. The 18th Provincial People's Council will focus on deeply assessing the results of socio-economic development, ensuring national defense and security in 2024; discuss directions, tasks, solutions and resolve many issues to promptly remove difficulties and obstacles in institutions and policies, unblock resources, overcome bottlenecks, all for socio-economic development and ensure and improve people's lives; maximally implement the targets of the Resolution of the 19th Provincial Party Congress, term 2020 - 2025; 5-year socio-economic development plan (2021 - 2025).

Regarding supervision work, the Provincial People's Council will conduct a question and answer session with 2 key groups of contents in the fields of Culture and Health. The first content is the groups of issues on solutions to implement the targets, quality of cultural villages, hamlets, and blocks; the rate of communes, wards, and towns with cultural and sports institutions meeting the criteria according to regulations and targets set out in Resolution 18/2020/NQ-HDND dated December 13, 2020 of the Nghe An Provincial People's Council; management of outdoor advertising activities; building a cultural environment associated with building, perfecting and promoting the identity of Nghe people; developing cultural industries in the province.

The second content is groups of issues on the implementation of the autonomy mechanism in public hospitals in the province today. The situation of drug supply, medical examination and treatment services under health insurance for health insurance patients, especially patients with serious illnesses and poor patients, ethnic minority and mountainous areas. The implementation of the target on combating malnutrition in children in the province in the period of 2021 - 2025.

PV: With such an important nature, how has the Standing Committee of the Provincial People's Council directed the preparation for the Session, comrade?

Comrade Hoang Nghia Hieu:According to tradition, at the year-end session, the Provincial People's Council often considers and decides on many important issues with a very large amount of work, but this regular session at the end of 2024, as mentioned above, the volume of reports and draft resolutions submitted to the People's Council for consideration and resolution is the largest ever, related to many sectors and fields that are urgently required in practice and are of great interest to many businesses, voters, and people of the province.

To continue implementing the policy of shortening the meeting time to 2 days compared to 2.5 days as before but still ensuring quality and efficiency, the Provincial People's Council Party Delegation and the Provincial People's Committee Party Executive Committee have closely led and directed the agencies of the People's Council and the People's Committee to closely coordinate with relevant agencies and organizations to actively prepare the contents of the draft resolutions and reports to ensure requirements and conditions for timely submission to the Session.

In particular, with a huge workload, the Standing Committee of the Provincial People's Council has proactively directed the Provincial People's Council Committees to promote a high sense of responsibility, not afraid of hardship with the overarching spirit of "doing all the work, not running out of time"; being flexible in the examination stage, studying any content immediately, without waiting. At the same time, the Standing Committee and the Provincial People's Council Committees always closely follow the reality of life, listen to the opinions of the people, businesses, delegates, and 21 groups of Provincial People's Council delegates to select the contents for questioning and answering questions, ensuring democracy and transparency.

It can be said that, with a high sense of responsibility, continuing the results of the implementation of the Project to improve the quality and efficiency of the activities of the 18th Provincial People's Council, term 2021 - 2026, up to this point, the 25th Session has been carefully prepared, creating conditions for the Delegation Groups and Provincial People's Council delegates to be ready to enter the session with the determination to make many timely and correct decisions, remove bottlenecks, and promote socio-economic development of the province.

PV: To the meetingactually happenquality, efficiency, do you have any message for the 25th Session of the 18th Provincial People's Council?

Comrade Hoang Nghia Hieu:2025 is a year of special significance, commemorating the 135th anniversary of President Ho Chi Minh's birthday, the 95th anniversary of the founding of the Party, the 80th anniversary of the founding of the country, the 95th anniversary of the Nghe Tinh Soviet Day, the 995th anniversary of the name Nghe An, the 50th anniversary of the liberation of the South and national reunification; the final year of implementing the 2021-2025 five-year plan and also the year of organizing Party congresses at all levels, towards the 14th National Congress of the Party.

To successfully implement the goals and tasks of 2025, the decisions of the Provincial People's Council, as the local State power agency, representing the will, aspirations and mastery of voters and people, are very important. Therefore, I request the Provincial People's Council delegates to uphold their sense of responsibility before voters and people, focus their intelligence, study documents, speak and discuss, question with focus, key points, democracy, frankly express their views, opinions and pass resolutions with high feasibility; ensure timely and complete institutionalization of the Party's guidelines, policies and laws of the State; especially the conclusions of the Provincial Party Committee Executive Committee, the Provincial Party Standing Committee; contribute significantly to promoting the comprehensive completion of the province's socio-economic development goals, targets and tasks in 2025.

For the Provincial People's Committee and departments, branches, sectors and localities, the Standing Committee of the Provincial People's Council proposes to assign leaders to fully attend working sessions at the meeting to promptly report and clarify the contents that delegates are interested in, or issues with different opinions; thereby creating a high level of transparency, consensus and unity so that the decisions issued by the Provincial People's Council ensure effectiveness and efficiency in implementation; avoiding the issued resolutions becoming "suspended" resolutions or "zero-dong resolutions" due to not being close to practical needs or not having resources to implement.

At the same time, I hope that voters and people of the province will pay attention, follow and contribute opinions to the session, especially through connection channels such as: Hotline number; digital platforms of Nghe An Newspaper, Provincial Radio and Television Station, "Nghe An People's Representative" website; thereby contributing to the success of the session.

PV: Thank you very much, Deputy Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee, Chairman of the Provincial People's Council!
