The General Secretary noted that Secretary Ngoc is a well-trained leader who has grown through practical experience. He has spent many years working for the Hanoi Police, holding various positions, and gaining extensive experience in advisory and leadership roles, making significant contributions to the country’s development.

In recent years, Secretary Ngoc has actively worked with the Politburo and the Secretariat to successfully implement socio-economic development tasks, contributing to the nation’s transition into a new stage of growth.

Highlighting that Secretary Ngoc is not only a central-level official but also a citizen of Hanoi, General Secretary Lam expressed his confidence in his leadership.

He emphasized that with practical experience and deep understanding of the city, Secretary Ngoc will continue to work closely with the Standing Committee of the Hanoi Party Committee to maintain unity and solidarity.

He believed that Secretary Ngoc would strive to successfully implement the Resolution of the 18th Congress of the Hanoi Party Organization.

In the near term, the General Secretary urged close coordination with central agencies to ensure political security and social order in the capital. This, he said, would contribute to the successful organization of the 14th National Party Congress.

He also underscored that Hanoi must continue to live up to its status as the thousand-year-old capital — a center of politics, economy, innovation, and growth for the entire nation.

General Secretary Lam called on all leaders, officials, and Party members of Hanoi to support and assist Secretary Ngoc in successfully fulfilling his assigned duties.

He also requested central ministries and agencies to continue supporting Hanoi in implementing the goals and tasks set out in the Resolution of the 18th Party Congress of the city.

Secretary Ngoc emphasized that Hanoi holds a special place in his career, as it was where he began his professional journey as a Hanoi police officer. The city provided him with valuable lessons in public service, dedication, integrity, and responsibility.
