Considered to be a driving force for Vinh City to develop, after more than 10 years of implementing Resolution 278, urban infrastructure investment projects, drainage systems, etc. have initially brought about effectiveness. Since then, people's lives have been improved, environmental pollution and flooding have been minimized. Investment work has had many clear changes, and urban space has been gradually expanded.

Planning and construction investment management are implemented in a directional manner, in accordance with current regulations, creating momentum for socio-economic development, renovating landscape architecture and urban infrastructure in a synchronous, civilized and modern direction.

Regarding the Resolution on supporting the construction of industrial cluster infrastructure, in Vinh City, there are 2 industrial clusters supported, Hung Dong and Nghi Phu, with a total budget of 4.8 billion VND. From the capital of the Resolution, the infrastructure of these 2 industrial clusters is invested in basic construction of roads, drainage systems, and centralized wastewater treatment systems, creating favorable conditions for enterprises to enter production and business.

Regarding other Resolutions on supporting agricultural and rural development; supporting people with meritorious services to the revolution to improve their housing; supporting the construction of some cultural and sports institutions at the grassroots level; developing human resources for public health;... Vinh City believes that the above resolutions play an important role in the development work, resolving regimes and policies for people with meritorious services, contributing to infrastructure investment...

In the process of implementing the Resolutions, Vinh City believes that some specific policies in the Resolution have not been implemented or have to be stopped due to problems with regulations of the Central and the province. Some functional areas and projects of regional central nature that act as a driving force for the city's development have not been implemented, deployed, or completed. Urban landscape architecture has not received adequate and proper attention; infrastructure is incomplete and not synchronous, especially in terms of traffic. Currently, the demand for investment in completing the infrastructure of industrial parks is very large but the support level is still low.

Concluding the monitoring session, Comrade Hoang Viet Duong - Vice Chairman of the Provincial People's Council, highly appreciated the results Vinh City achieved in implementing the Resolutions, especially Resolution No. 278/2009/NQ-HDND on a number of specific mechanisms and policies in the management and socio-economic development of Vinh City - a class I urban area under the province.

Comrade Hoang Viet Duong suggested that Vinh City should absorb the opinions of the members of the monitoring delegation to supplement the report; seek opinions from the Provincial Party Standing Committee, the Provincial People's Committee, departments and branches, and promptly deploy the draft to submit to the Provincial People's Council to issue a replacement Resolution on specific mechanisms and policies for the city's development. Vinh City also needs to review and re-evaluate the implementation results of the Resolutions, pointing out the shortcomings and problems, especially Resolution 167 on support policies for the construction of industrial cluster infrastructure.
