1. Overall assessment of the five-year implementation of the Resolution of the 19th Provincial Party Congress.

The 2020-2025 term unfolded amidst more difficulties and challenges than anticipated. With the attention and guidance of the Central Government, the Party Committee, government, and people of Nghe An province have upheld their tradition of unity and strived to achieve many important and comprehensive results, with many outstanding achievements. Most key indicators met or exceeded the targets set in the Resolution.

Party building and the construction of the political system have been emphasized and comprehensively reformed, achieving many important results. The leadership capacity of Party committees and the effectiveness and efficiency of management and administration at all levels have been enhanced. The activities of the Fatherland Front, political and social organizations, and mass associations have undergone many innovations, making positive contributions to the implementation of the province's political tasks.

The economy experienced significant growth, exceeding the growth rate of the 2016-2020 period. The size of the GRDP increased 1.7 times, and GRDP per capita increased 1.67 times compared to 2020. Resource mobilization and investment attraction yielded outstanding results. Industry and construction developed strongly; many key projects were completed and put into operation.

The service sector has diversified and accounts for a high proportion of the economic structure; export turnover has far exceeded the target. Agriculture, forestry, and fisheries have developed steadily and improved efficiency; the new rural development program has achieved many successes. Key economic zones have grown rapidly, making a significant contribution to the overall development of the province; the western region continues to develop in a sustainable direction. Science, technology, and digital transformation are given priority.

Resource management, environmental protection, and climate change response have been strengthened. The appearance of urban and rural areas is increasingly being transformed in a civilized and modern direction.

Culture and sports have developed in the right direction, achieving many positive results. Education and training have undergone comprehensive transformation, with remarkable progress in quality. Healthcare has developed rapidly, and the work of caring for, protecting, and improving the health of the people has made significant progress.

Employment, social security, policies for war veterans, social assistance, and poverty reduction have been implemented synchronously, achieving many practical results; people's lives are increasingly improving. National defense has been strengthened; security, order, and social safety have been maintained. Foreign affairs have achieved many important results.

However, the implementation of tasks in various fields still faces difficulties and limitations: The operation of the political system, especially at the commune and ward levels, has not yet met the requirements of the tasks in the new context and situation. The economy has not yet achieved breakthrough development, and the quality of growth is not high.

High-tech agriculture, marine economy, and tourism have not developed to their full potential. The quality of human resources does not meet development requirements; the poverty rate remains higher than the national average. Social order and security still harbor potential complexities.
