He added that the city has deployed AI camera systems for traffic management and that these systems must cover urban space comprehensively for traffic, security and digital management.

Concluding the session, Secretary of the municipal Party Committee Nguyen Duy Ngoc praised the results achieved by the three wards, especially progress on the Ring Road 1 interchange. He asked them to continue working to meet the project timeline.

He requested localities to strengthen staffing based on actual workload without secondment or pilot arrangements and emphasized the need to modernize Party activities to ensure members stay aligned with leadership directions. He said decentralization must be linked to administrative procedures and digital transformation, with adequate training, equipment and connectivity to use shared data effectively.

He stressed that commune and ward authorities must contribute to economic development, support revenue generation and apply innovation and digital tools to grow the digital economy. The city targets growth of 11 percent or more next year, and localities must identify resources to support this goal.

He said one Vice Chairman of the People's Committee is assigned to coordinate with four departments to address five major public concerns and asked localities to follow the city's model to avoid overlap and clarify responsibility.

He also emphasized public security and praised Hanoi Police for maintaining control over traditional and cyber crime. He asked localities to ensure development goes hand in hand with social welfare so no one is left behind.

Ngoc affirmed that the municipal Party Committee, the People's Council, the People's Committee and the Vietnam Fatherland Front will accompany grassroots levels. He called on localities to stay proactive and avoid the situation where leadership is determined but implementation lags.
