Chairman of the Hanoi People's Committee Vu Dai Thang presents Tet gift to Me Linh Commune.
On February 14, Party Central Committee member, Vice Secretary of the Hanoi Party Committee and Chairman of the Hanoi People's Committee Vu Dai Thang visited and extended Lunar New Year greetings to the Party organization, authorities and residents of Me Linh Commune.
Reporting to the city delegation, Nguyen Anh Tuan, Secretary of the Party Committee and Chairman of the People's Council of Me Linh Commune, said that after administrative restructuring and the implementation of the two-tier local government model, the former Me Linh District was reorganized into four communes: Me Linh, Quang Minh, Tien Thang and Yen Lang.
Since July 1, 2025, Me Linh Commune has operated under the two-tier model amid challenges related to office facilities, working conditions, land clearance for Ring Road 4 and delayed urban projects.
Thanks to unity and determination among the Party organization, authorities and residents, the commune successfully completed its 2025 tasks. It organized the Party Congress and congresses of the Fatherland Front and socio-political organizations.
The commune fulfilled all 10 socio-economic targets assigned by the city. State budget revenue in 2025 reached VND385.8 billion (US$14.8 million), or 101.76% of the target set by the city and the commune's People's Council.
It completed land clearance for the Ring Road 4 project as directed and fulfilled tasks related to preparations for the elections of deputies to the 16th National Assembly and People's Councils at all levels for the 2026–2031 term.
Nguyen Anh Tuan, Secretary of the Party Committee and Chairman of the People's Council of Me Linh Commune, delivers a report at the meeting.
For the Lunar New Year of Binh Ngo, the commune completed 10 of 14 assigned tasks on schedule and continues implementing the remaining four.
Completed tasks include communications, decoration, office and neighborhood upgrades and cultural programs celebrating the Party and spring, creating a festive atmosphere for residents.
After Tet, the commune will focus on organizing the 1,986th anniversary of the Hai Ba Trung Uprising and the 2026 Hai Ba Trung Temple Festival, ensuring solemnity, meaning and absolute safety, especially for Party and State leaders attending.
The commune will also prioritize preparations to ensure the successful election of National Assembly deputies and People’s Council representatives for the 2026–2031 term.
At the meeting, Chairman Vu Dai Thang commended the achievements of Me Linh's Party organization, authorities and residents in 2025 and the early months of 2026.
He praised progress under the two-tier local government model, particularly land clearance for major projects.
Thang highlighted the proactive and decisive spirit of grassroots officials during the transition. Despite difficulties in facilities and working conditions, the commune's leadership ensured smooth operations and uninterrupted public services.
He emphasized that 2026 carries special significance as the country enters a new development phase following the 14th National Party Congress.
Thang urged the locality to act decisively, "do it right, do it now and follow through," with clear responsibilities, timelines and accountability.
Assigned tasks must be broken down by day and week to avoid delays, he said.
Regarding development orientation, Thang asked the commune to define its role within the capital's overall strategy.
As Hanoi targets about 11% GRDP growth in 2026, he said, every ward and commune must pursue higher-than-average growth, especially in production, services and high-value products.
He urged close alignment with city planning, proactive land reviews and effective use of local advantages to attract investment and develop synchronized infrastructure linked to western growth corridors.
Chairman Vu Dai Thang speaks at the meeting.
Development must balance urbanization with preservation of traditional identity while improving residents' living standards, the chairman said.
On facilities, Thang noted that the current headquarters remains inadequate for the new governance model. The city will study investment and renovation plans to provide better working conditions and public services.
On social welfare, he commended the commune’s efforts, particularly in the year-end period. He urged local leaders to continue supporting policy beneficiaries, poor households and disadvantaged families to ensure everyone welcomes the new year in warmth and safety.
