Overview of the session. 

In her closing remarks, Chairwoman of Hanoi People's Council Phung Thi Hong Ha said that after two days of active, focused and democratic deliberations, the 29th session of the 16th Hanoi People's Council had completed its full agenda.

At the session, the People's Council reviewed key matters to implement the National Assembly resolution on piloting special mechanisms and policies for major and important projects in the capital and other tasks within its authority.

These decisions aim to strengthen the institutional framework, remove policy and legal bottlenecks and issue strong breakthrough regulations on decentralization and delegation to advance major projects in Hanoi.

After two days of work, the People's Council delegates approved resolutions with a very high level of consensus.

Among them were four resolutions detailing the National Assembly resolution adopted at its tenth session, including regulations on dossiers, conditions, processes and procedures for implementing major and important projects in the capital.

The People's Council also approved the investment policy for the Red River landscape boulevard project and adopted a resolution on the investment policy for the Olympic Sports Urban Area project.

It also approved the 1:2000 zoning plan for the Olympic Sports Urban Area, reflecting a long-term vision and a new development mindset that aims to shape a modern, green and attractive urban landscape for the capital.

In addition, the People's Council passed two resolutions amending and supplementing provisions of Resolution No. 69/2025/NQ-HDND and Resolution No. 48/2025/NQ-HDND to immediately address outstanding issues related to socio-economic development, budget allocation and urban renewal and construction.

According to Chairwoman Ha, thorough preparation by the city administration and departments, careful review by the People's Council committees and active input from scientists, researchers and the Vietnam Fatherland Front helped clarify the issues presented and ensure that feedback was fully incorporated into the resolutions.

She said the adopted resolutions reflect the collective intelligence and strong consensus of the People's Council, as well as close coordination among agencies and in-depth contributions from experts and scholars.

These mechanisms, policies and major projects need to be implemented immediately and are expected to have wide-ranging impacts as a catalyst for socio-economic development, improved governance and the resolution of pressing public concerns.

She called on the city administration, agencies and local authorities to promptly develop concrete implementation plans and organize swift execution so that the resolutions can take effect as soon as possible.

At the same time, the city must accelerate the final phase of implementing the resolution of the 18th Hanoi Party Congress and the resolutions of the People's Council to achieve growth targets and key socio-economic, defense, security and external relations goals for 2025 and the 2026–2030 period.
