Secretary of Hanoi Party Committee delivers remarks upon assuming office on the morning of November 4.

Earlier that morning, Party General Secretary To Lam presented the Politburo’s decision on the reassignment and appointment of Politburo Member and Chairman of the Party Central Committee’s Inspection Commission Ngoc.

He was appointed to join the Executive Committee and the Standing Committee of the Hanoi Party Committee, serving as Secretary for the 2025–2030 tenure.

In his address, Secretary Ngoc expressed deep gratitude to the Politburo, the Party Central Committee’s Secretariat, and particularly to General Secretary Lam for their trust and confidence in assigning him this important responsibility.

He stated that he is fully aware that this assignment represents the Party’s trust, the organization’s mission, and also a solemn reminder of his duty to dedicate his passion, intellect, and sense of responsibility to serve the Party and the people, contributing to the construction and development of the capital.

“I always believe that a Party official must place the interests of the Party and the people above all else. Wherever we are and whatever role we hold, we must always be ready to take on challenges, assume responsibility, and fulfill our duties wholeheartedly,” he affirmed.

Secretary Ngoc recalled that Hanoi was where he spent his early years of public service — a place that shaped his professional growth and instilled in him lessons on dedication, integrity, and responsibility in serving the people.

Though he has since worked in various positions and environments, Hanoi has always remained his spiritual foundation — a source of pride and deep emotional connection.

“Today, as I return to Hanoi under the Party’s assignment, I do so with a vow to dedicate my full heart and energy to the capital’s development,” Secretary Ngoc emphasized.

He expressed profound gratitude to generations of leaders, mentors, and colleagues who have taught, guided, and accompanied him throughout his career, and paid tribute to the enduring values built by past generations of Hanoi’s leaders, officials, Party members, soldiers, and residents.

With steadfast confidence, he affirmed: “Together, we will build a new phase of stronger development, worthy of Hanoi’s thousand-year-old heroic legacy and its stature as the capital of Vietnam.”

Hanoi leaders present flowers to congratulate the Secretary of the Party Committee.

According to Secretary Ngoc, serving as Secretary of the Hanoi Party Committee is not only a great honor but also a heavy responsibility. He pledged to thoroughly study and implement the guidance and instructions delivered by Party General Secretary Lam during the appointment ceremony.

He also committed to following the directions given by the General Secretary in his four previous working sessions with the Hanoi Party Committee. These include the strategic questions and seven key tasks emphasized at the 18th Congress of the Hanoi Party Organization.

“I promise to give my utmost effort, working with dedication, integrity, and fairness. I will not fear challenges or avoid responsibility but will wholeheartedly join the Party Committee, the government, and the people of the capital to successfully fulfill all tasks entrusted by the Party and the State” Secretary Ngoc pledged.

This will be done in the spirit of the General Secretary’s words: ‘When Hanoi commits to something, it must act — act quickly, act correctly, act effectively, and see it through to the end.’”

He further affirmed that he will work closely with the Standing Committee, the Executive Committee, and the entire Hanoi Party Organization to maintain unity and solidarity, placing collective interests above all, and viewing people as the center and measure of all progress. He emphasized the importance of matching words with action and acting for the people, the nation, and the capital.

“I deeply understand that Hanoi’s true strength does not lie merely in its size, resources, or position, but in the faith, intelligence, creativity, and solidarity of its people. No success comes from a single individual — only unity, determination, and dedication can create achievements,” he said.

“I therefore call upon all officials, Party members, public servants, officers of the armed forces, the business community, intellectuals, artists, students, workers, and overseas Hanoians everywhere to join hands, contribute ideas and creativity, and act together for the capital,” Secretary Ngoc stressed.
