Resolutely develop a plan to implement Resolution 137 of the National Assembly on a number of special mechanisms for the development of Nghe An province.

During the question and answer session on the morning of July 11, the 21st session of the 18th Provincial People's Council, delegate Le Thi Kim Chung (Quynh Luu) had an extended question about a "current" issue of interest to officials, party members and people of Nghe An province.

According to delegate Le Thi Kim Chung, the National Assembly passed two specific Resolutions for Nghe An province: Resolution No. 36/2021/QH15 of the National Assembly on piloting a number of specific mechanisms and policies for the development of Nghe An province and Resolution No. 137/2024/QH15 dated June 26, 2024 of the National Assembly supplementing the piloting of a number of specific mechanisms and policies for the development of Nghe An province.

In particular, Resolution 137 was passed by the National Assembly on June 26, 2024 at the 7th Session with 14 policy mechanisms on finance, budget, investment, urban areas, resources and organizational apparatus. This Resolution takes effect from January 1, 2025 and will be implemented for 5 years with the goal of Nghe An developing further in the coming time.

"I request the leaders of the Provincial People's Committee to inform us how to implement this important task so that the province can effectively implement these special mechanisms, bringing Nghe An to remarkable development in the coming time" - delegate Le Thi Kim Chung asked.

Clarifying the content of the issue raised by delegate Le Thi Kim Chung, comrade Pham Hong Quang - Director of the Department of Planning and Investment said: Resolution No. 137/2024/QH15 dated June 26, 2024 of the National Assembly supplementing a pilot program of a number of specific mechanisms and policies for the development of Nghe An province was issued by the National Assembly on July 4, 2024.

The Resolution defines a 5-year term, so the province is determined to focus on directing its implementation. Accordingly, before the National Assembly issues the Resolution, the Provincial People's Committee assigns departments and branches to develop plans so that when the Resolution is issued, it can be implemented soon.

Resolution 137 takes effect from January 1, 2025, so Nghe An province has time from now until the end of 2024 to develop and implement the contents. Currently, the Department of Planning and Investment is coordinating with departments, branches, sectors and localities to develop a plan to implement the Resolution. In the spirit of detailing each article and each task in the Resolution, it will be assigned to relevant levels and sectors for implementation.

Having a Resolution does not mean immediate implementation, but requires guidance from the Government, ministries and branches. On that basis, the Provincial People's Committee will advise the Provincial People's Council to issue Resolutions to implement this Resolution. Therefore, we are focusing on building and trying to complete the plan in July 2024 to advise the Provincial People's Committee to direct departments and branches to implement.

"The first step is that the province will develop a plan, in which it will assign relevant departments, branches and localities, especially the Resolutions related to specific mechanisms, policy mechanisms, and resources will be carefully worked out so that in the 2025 fiscal year and the 2026-2030 public investment period, the policy mechanisms can be operated. In addition, related policy mechanisms, such as land fund exploitation, must have guidance from ministries and branches. Therefore, Nghe An province will focus on coordinating with ministries and branches to have instructions for implementing this content.

Trying to focus in 2024, the Provincial People's Committee will complete all instructions to avoid any problems, striving to implement the Resolution into life most effectively in January 2025" - Director of the Department of Planning and Investment emphasized.

After having an implementation plan, the province will focus on disseminating the content of the Resolution to the grassroots level so that the entire political system can participate. This is a Resolution related to many fields, many beneficiaries, and many issues that need to be implemented.

Clarifying this content, comrade Thai Thanh Quy - Member of the Party Central Committee, Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee, Chairman of the Provincial People's Council, Head of the Provincial National Assembly Delegation said: We are pleased that the National Assembly has passed Resolution 137 on supplementing pilot mechanisms and specific policies for Nghe An province.

At the same time, Nghe An province implements two Resolutions of the National Assembly, namely Resolution 36 from 2021 and Resolution 137 on specific mechanisms and policies for the development of Nghe An province. Resolution 137 concretizes the spirit of Resolution 39 of the Politburo on the development of Nghe An province but is under the authority of the National Assembly.

"The National Assembly has issued a Resolution, the province needs to issue an implementation plan. However, under the Resolution of the National Assembly are guiding documents of ministries, branches and central agencies for the province to implement. Therefore, the Provincial People's Committee and departments and branches need to continue to "follow" relevant ministries, branches and central agencies so that these agencies can soon issue Circulars and provide guidance to help the province implement these policies and mechanisms. At the same time, it is necessary to "follow" and propose to ministries and branches to propose to the Government specific mechanisms and policies under the Government's authority so that the province has more conditions to best promote the province's potential and strengths when implementing the Resolution" - Comrade Thai Thanh Quy emphasized.
