In preparation for major national celebrations, including the 80th anniversary of the August Revolution and National Day, the Party Committee directed the Hanoi People's Committee to coordinate with central ministries to ensure all infrastructure, logistics, and safety measures were meticulously implemented for the military parade and other events.

Successful Party Congress Organization

Leadership Orientation and Key Tasks

He reaffirmed Hanoi's target of achieving GRDP growth of 8–8.5%, as directed by the central government — a goal that demands determination and innovation in management and governance. The city must also effectively implement the revised Capital Law and Resolution 15 on the development direction of the capital.

Thanh also highlighted the importance of implementing Directive No. 50 (July 23, 2025) from the Party Secretariat on improving grassroots Party activities, enhancing political education, and promoting exemplary leadership among Party members.

He further directed the review and consolidation of Party organizations in line with administrative reforms to enhance comprehensive leadership capacity. 

Key priorities include achieving 8–8.5% economic growth in 2025, setting the foundation for double-digit growth between 2026 and 2030; improving the two-tier municipal governance model; accelerating major infrastructure projects; promoting innovation, science, and digital transformation to position Hanoi as a national and regional innovation hub; strengthening urban management, environmental protection, and social welfare; and ensuring cultural and human development.

"With our tradition of unity, reform, and intellectual strength, I firmly believe that the Party Committee of the Hanoi People's Committee will continue to lead by example, play a pioneering role, and contribute to realizing the resolutions of the City Party Congress — building Hanoi into a prosperous, modern, and civilized capital," Chairman Tran Sy Thanh affirmed.
