He urged the ward's Fatherland Front to further promote the movement "All People Unite to Build New Rural Areas and Civilized Urban Communities", strengthen community self governance and build a neighborhood that is bright, green, clean, beautiful and safe while aligning with the movement "All People Protect National Security" and striving for a ward free of social evils, electronic cigarettes, drugs and law violations.

He asked local leaders to stay informed of people's concerns, uphold grassroots democracy and ensure that residents fully exercise their rights under the principle "the people know, the people discuss, the people do, the people inspect, the people supervise and the people benefit".

He encouraged diverse and effective communication and mobilization methods, timely recognition of exemplary models, strong promotion of learning and talent development movements, care for families with meritorious service and mobilization of community support for vulnerable groups.

He conveyed his best wishes on behalf of the General Secretary and central leaders, expressing hope that the Party Committee, government and residents of Hanoi and Ba Dinh Ward will fulfill their 2025 tasks and achieve the socio economic goals for 2025 to 2030 while effectively implementing the spirit of the documents of the 14th National Party Congress and preparing well for the election of the 16th National Assembly and People's Councils at all levels for the 2026 to 2031 term.
