CREATING THE FOUNDATION FOR A NEW PHASE OF DEVELOPMENT

After nearly 3 years of implementing Decision No. 827, the tasks of developing Vinh city have been seriously implemented and achieved certain results.

However, the context and circumstances of implementing Decision No. 827 face many difficulties and challenges when affected by the Covid-19 pandemic, resources are limited, while the implementation period is only 3 years, by the end of 2023, 5/18 expected targets have not been achieved. Vinh City still lacks many conditions to be worthy of being a leader in the economic and cultural fields of the North Central region.

At the meeting, the Provincial Party Committee Standing Committee objectively and comprehensively assessed the implementation of Decision No. 827 over the past nearly 3 years; especially focused on discussing and proposing orientations and solutions to develop Vinh city in the new period associated with the implementation of the Resolution of the Politburo on the direction and tasks of developing Nghe An province to 2030, with a vision to 2045.

Comrade Phan Duc Dong - Member of the Provincial Party Standing Committee, Secretary of Vinh City Party Committee affirmed: Through the implementation of Decision No. 827, a very important result is that the expansion of the city's administrative boundaries has been implemented. The province has also issued a resource mechanism for the city; at the same time, supported loans for urban infrastructure development projects.

The Secretary of the Vinh City Party Committee proposed that the Provincial Party Committee Standing Committee continue to pay attention to leading the implementation of the Project to expand administrative boundaries in conjunction with the master plan for the expanded Vinh City. After the Politburo issued a new resolution on Nghe An, the province is interested in a stronger mechanism so that the city has more resources and conditions for development.

Speaking on this content, sharing the objective difficulties due to the context and circumstances in nearly 3 years of implementing Decision No. 827, Chairman of Nghe An Provincial People's Committee Nguyen Duc Trung said: The Draft Resolution of the Politburo on the direction and tasks of developing Nghe An province to 2030, with a vision to 2045, clearly identifies the driving role of Vinh city; at the same time, the Planning of Nghe An province for the period 2021 - 2030, with a vision to 2050, also identifies Vinh city as one of the two main development driving forces of the province.

Based on the analysis and pointing out those core foundations, the Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee suggested that after the new Resolution of the Politburo on Nghe An is issued; along with implementing the contents of the Resolution, especially building the Action Program for implementation, it is necessary to develop a draft and submit to the Prime Minister for promulgation the Decision on developing Vinh city into an economic and cultural center of the North Central region; at the same time, on the basis of the spirit of the new Resolution of the Politburo on Nghe An, it is necessary to study and propose a national-level mechanism for Vinh city.

WILL PROPOSE THE CENTRAL GOVERNMENT TO PROMULGATE NEW MECHANISMS AND POLICIES FOR VINH CITY

Concluding this content, Nghe An Provincial Party Secretary Thai Thanh Quy assessed that after nearly 3 years of implementing Decision No. 827, it can be seen that the achieved results are that the vision, awareness, and goals for the development of Vinh city have been clearly demonstrated; including the expansion of the city's administrative boundaries and urban space.

Vinh City has not only affirmed itself as the locomotive and growth pole of the province, but also in some areas such as health, education, and finance, it has formed a regional center of the North Central region. The results achieved have created a very important foundation and premise for the development of Vinh City from now until 2030.

Regarding the tasks in the coming time, the Provincial Party Secretary emphasized the viewpoint: Developing Vinh city into the center of the North Central region is the task of the entire political system of the province; in which, the highest level is the Provincial Party Standing Committee, the Provincial Party Executive Committee, the Provincial People's Council Party Delegation, the Provincial People's Committee Party Committee; the Fatherland Front and socio-political organizations.

Along with that, the head of Nghe An Provincial Party Committee also requested Vinh city to proactively train and foster a team of cadres with enough capacity to undertake the tasks assigned by the province.

In particular, Provincial Party Secretary Thai Thanh Quy noted that Vinh city must create a "difference" in the development process in three aspects: environmental sanitation, social order, urban civilization; smart city; night city, night economy; associated with the new point of building Vinh as a coastal city after expanding its administrative boundaries.

Vinh City also needs to review land funds, prioritize preserving green areas; protect ponds and lakes to maintain water surface space for the city, both creating landscape, ensuring the environment, and preventing flooding.

Agreeing with the proposed recommendations, the Provincial Party Secretary emphasized the need to closely follow the progress of the project to expand the administrative boundaries and urban space of Vinh city to submit to the National Assembly Standing Committee in the first quarter of 2024; agree to establish a master plan for the expanded Vinh city, in which, attention should be paid to underground space planning for long-term development; and have a strong mechanism for the city to develop.

After the Politburo issued a Resolution on the direction and tasks for Nghe An province's development until 2030, with a vision to 2045, the province will advise and propose the Prime Minister to issue a new decision on the development of Vinh city, including building new mechanisms and policies for the city.
