Dear Congress!

During the past term, despite many difficulties and challenges, the Party Committee, government and people of Nghia Dan district have promoted the tradition of solidarity, overcome difficulties, made efforts to organize and achieve many important results in all fields.

The economy has grown quite well, stably and sustainably; the average annual growth rate reached 16.5%, the structure shifted in the right direction, the socio-economic infrastructure system continued to develop. The agricultural sector is focused on, especially high-tech agriculture, concentrated production, mechanization associated with innovation in the structure of crops and livestock with high productivity and value, gradually affirming its role as the center of agricultural economic development of the Northwest region.

The association between farmers, cooperatives and enterprises has begun to be formed, gradually promoting the strengths of the agricultural district, forming a number of large projects applying high technology such as: Dairy farming and fresh milk processing project; greenhouse vegetable and flower growing project (FVF), Nghe An Wood Factory Project (MDF) has become a bright spot of the whole province and the whole country.

New rural construction has become a widespread movement, in the last term, 14/22 communes met new rural standards. Rural infrastructure has been strongly invested, the appearance of the countryside is spacious and clean; production and people's lives have improved; the ecological environment is increasingly focused on protection.

There has been much progress in the socio-cultural fields, and people's lives have been increasingly improved. Poverty reduction policies and ethnic minority policies have been actively implemented; the poverty rate has rapidly decreased from 9.6% (2016) to 2.69% (2020). Security and national defense have been maintained, and social order and safety have been ensured.

The work of Party building and political system building is regularly focused on, especially the work of political and ideological education, grasping the situation, aspirations and orienting public opinion well. The activities of the government, the Fatherland Front and mass organizations are gradually innovated, with clear effectiveness and efficiency. The contingent of cadres, civil servants and public employees is increasingly standardized. The Party is united, the people trust the leadership of the Party committees, the government and the mass front.

In recognition of the above achievements, for 4 consecutive years, the Party Committee of Nghia Dan district was recognized by the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee as a clean and strong Party Committee (excellent) and the Party Committee and people of Nghia Dan district were awarded the First Class Labor Medal by the President (for the second time).

The results achieved by the Party Committee, government and people of Nghia Dan district have contributed significantly to the socio-economic development of the province. This is the premise for the district to continue to develop in the coming time.

On behalf of the Provincial Party Standing Committee, I warmly commend and congratulate the achievements that the Party Committee, government and people of Nghia Dan district have achieved in the past term.

Dear comrades! Dear Congress!

In addition to the achievements, I basically agree with the shortcomings, limitations and causes mentioned in the reports. Accordingly, in the next term, the Nghia Dan District Party Committee needs to seriously recognize and overcome the following shortcomings and limitations:

Economic development is still not commensurate with potential; Trade and services growth is slow. Infrastructure is not yet synchronized, especially infrastructure of industrial parks, industrial clusters, and trade and services. Household economy has not developed strongly and sustainably; the lives of a part of the people still face many difficulties, especially in remote areas and ethnic minority areas.

State management and the resolution of problems related to land, mineral exploitation, and the environment are not yet drastic. Administrative reform is not yet effective. Party building and political system building are still limited.

I propose that the Congress continue to clearly analyze the causes of limitations and weaknesses, especially subjective causes, and draw lessons to find practical solutions to overcome them right from the beginning of the next term.

Dear comrades! Dear Congress!

Nghia Dan is a district located in the Phu Quy economic zone, the Northwest gateway of Nghe An, with a favorable and important geographical location in the socio-economic development of the province; Ho Chi Minh Road runs through 36 km; National Highway 48 runs across and connects Quy Hop, Quy Chau, Que Phong districts; National Highway 48D connects the district with National Highway 1A, down to Hoang Mai Industrial Park, Dong Hoi Port, Nghi Son Port; National Highways 15A, National Highway 48E together with provincial and district roads form a synchronous and smooth traffic network.

It is a red basalt land area of ​​over 10,000 hectares, with a dense river system and over 130 large and small dams, suitable for growing many types of crops, especially industrial crops and fruit trees. This is a favorable condition to promote economic development.

Regarding the development orientation, goals, targets and main tasks and solutions stated in the Political Report and the draft Resolution of the Congress, the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee has agreed. In particular, there is high agreement with the goal of the Party Committee for the next term: determined to build Nghia Dan into a new rural district, gradually becoming the center of high-tech agricultural economy of the province. I would like to note and emphasize some contents for us to discuss, consider and decide:

One is,The district needs to focus on building and implementing well the planning work, socio-economic development plans, especially the planning for development, expansion of the space of towns, market towns, and regional linkage development planning to effectively promote the strong main routes such as National Highway 48, National Highway 48B and Ho Chi Minh Road running through for long-term and sustainable development.

Mobilizing investment resources to build trade and service infrastructure, developing trade and services not only to meet the essential needs of Nghia Dan people, increase the proportion in the economic structure but also need to consider the long-term strategy to serve Thai Hoa town, Nghia Dan Industrial Park and have connectivity as a buffer zone serving Hoang Mai, Dong Hoi, Nghi Son industrial parks.

Second,Actively attract investment, especially large, leveraged projects, projects using high technology in agricultural production and processing, rural transport infrastructure projects, trade and services, and industrial park and industrial cluster infrastructure.

Fully and comprehensively assess the positive and negative impacts of major projects in the area on the development of the district and people's lives. From there, continue to support and create conditions for projects and corporations to produce and do business, create jobs, and establish links between businesses and people.

Well resolve the relationship between economic growth and development with environmental protection and climate change response, manage exploitation and use resources rationally and effectively; use land economically and effectively, towards sustainable development.

Promote restructuring of the agricultural sector, vigorously implement land consolidation, land accumulation, and mechanization in agricultural production. Develop concentrated commodity agriculture, apply scientific and technical advances, high technology, and clean technology.

Build production models in the direction of closely linking farmers, cooperatives with enterprises and markets. Take care of and focus on developing household economy, especially developing garden, pond and barn economy to increase people's income.

The district needs to clearly identify specific steps and methods to soon recognize the remaining 8 communes as meeting new rural standards. In particular, in addition to support resources from higher levels, mobilizing people's contributions and encouraging everyone to voluntarily join hands in building new rural areas is a decisive factor to complete the goal of becoming a new rural district as set out in the Political Report.

Continue to perform well the tasks of education; mobilize resources, build and upgrade school and classroom facilities to serve teaching and learning well.

First of all, it is necessary to build a team of cadres, especially key cadres who are proficient in their work, have practical capacity, dare to think, dare to do, dare to take responsibility, spread the spirit, aspiration, get rich, know how to take advantage of advantages, seize opportunities to break through, develop their locality and unit.

Besides, the district must focus on vocational training, improving the qualifications and ability to absorb and apply science and technology for workers, meeting production and business requirements in the new situation.

Five is,Improve the quality of the health and cultural sectors. Increase investment in facilities and equipment for the health sector, improve the professional qualifications of medical staff and doctors; proactively prevent epidemics, and make good use of existing facilities to improve the quality of medical examination and treatment for the people.

The focus is on consolidating and improving the quality and fighting strength of grassroots Party organizations and the political system to ensure the role of leading, guiding, and firmly grasping the people's thoughts, effectively resolving issues related to the legitimate interests of the people, and preventing hot spots from occurring.

Dear Congress!

Along with evaluating the results of the implementation of political tasks in the past term, discussing and deciding on tasks and goals for the new term, the Congress also has the important task of: Discussing and contributing opinions to the documents of the 13th National Party Congress and the draft Political Report of the 19th Provincial Party Congress; electing the Executive Committee of the District Party Committee for the 29th term and electing the delegation to attend the 19th Provincial Party Congress.

I suggest that comrades focus their intelligence to give profound contributions to the Party's documents, and at the same time wisely select and elect the Party Executive Committee for the 29th term, ensuring standards and structure, representing qualities, qualifications, and mettle; elect a delegation representing the intelligence and voice of 49 grassroots Party organizations and more than 6,700 Party members in the entire district to attend the 19th Provincial Party Congress.

Immediately after this Congress, I propose that the new Executive Committee of the Nghia Dan District Party Committee quickly develop regulations, programs, work plans and take timely measures to put the Congress Resolution into practice.

With the tradition of solidarity and high unity, promoting valuable experiences and achievements, I believe that:

The Party Committee, government, armed forces and people of Nghia Dan district successfully implemented the Resolution of the District Party Congress.The 29th session opened a new period - a period of rising, innovation and rapid development, building Nghia Dan into a new rural district and gradually becoming the high-tech agricultural economic center of Nghe An province.
