The inspections will focus on leadership and direction in organizing research, dissemination, study and implementation of the Resolution of the 14th National Party Congress and the Resolution of the 18th Hanoi Party Congress.

The inspection teams will also review the development and implementation of working regulations, programs and plans to carry out congress resolutions, along with efforts to build a clean and strong Party organization and political system that emphasizes accountability, exemplary conduct and responsibility.

Strong focus on land clearance

Reporting on socio-economic development, Secretary of the Thuong Tin Commune Party Committee and Chairman of the Thuong Tin Commune People's Council Nguyen Xuan Minh said that during the first three months of 2026, total state budget revenue in the commune reached VND113.7 billion (US$, equal to 13.49% of the assigned target.

Regarding investment and construction, the commune has 86 projects in 2026, including 78 ongoing projects and eight new ones. The new projects are currently adjusting estimates based on updated price announcements and are expected to select contractors and begin construction in the first quarter of 2026.

Land clearance has been identified as a key task and has been implemented decisively. Since July 2025, the commune has completed land clearance covering approximately 190,424.46 square meters involving 546 households, ensuring progress for development projects and helping promote infrastructure growth and attract investment.

Current land clearance efforts focus on projects such as the Olympic Sports Urban Area Development Project, the North–South high-speed railway project passing through Thuong Tin Commune and the National Highway 1A spatial corridor project combined with urban renovation and redevelopment under the public–private partnership (PPP) model using a Build–Transfer (BT) contract.

Regarding craft village activities, Thuong Tin Commune has 11 craft villages with 1,820 households engaged in production and business, employing about 3,765 permanent workers and 1,000 seasonal workers.

Main products include blankets, bed sheets, pillows, mattresses, cotton and wool products, horn combs and other handicrafts. Prominent craft villages include the Trat Cau bedding village and the Thuy Ung horn comb craft village.

In recent years, craft village production has remained relatively stable and continues to play an important role in the local rural economy. Estimated revenue averages about VND560 million ($21,300) per year per establishment, while workers earn an average monthly income of about VND7–10 million ($266-380).

Some production facilities have invested in technological upgrades, improved product designs, diversified product lines and expanded markets, gradually building stronger brands and customer trust.

However, the biggest challenge facing craft villages is that most production activities still take place within residential areas, affecting production efficiency and posing potential risks related to environmental pollution, noise, electrical safety, internal traffic and fire prevention.

Election preparations implemented carefully and on schedule

Preparations for the election in Thuong Tin Commune have been carried out seriously, comprehensively and in accordance with legal regulations. Political security and social order remain stable and facilities for the election have been fully prepared.

The commune has established six election boards and 54 polling teams for the election of deputies to the 16th National Assembly and People's Councils at all levels for the 2026–2031 term.

The commune has begun issuing voter cards, with a total of 52,860 voters. Of these, 50,212 voters will participate in elections at all three levels, while 2,648 temporary voters will participate in elections for the National Assembly and the Hanoi People's Council.

From now until election day, Thuong Tin Commune will continue strengthening communication efforts and guiding election boards and polling teams on the use of official seals, documents and reporting forms for compiling election results.

The commune will also continue inspecting and supplementing facilities at polling stations, decorating voting areas in accordance with regulations and guiding the organization of opening ceremonies and other activities required on election day.

Ensuring every citizen can exercise voting rights

Speaking at the meeting, Hanoi Party Secretary Nguyen Duy Ngoc said Inspection Team No. 01 is one of 12 teams established by the municipal Party Standing Committee to inspect 40 commune and ward Party Standing Boards and leading officials of local Party committees and administrations across the city.

Through inspection and supervision, the team will promptly identify and record positive results, strengths, good experiences and innovative approaches from the Standing Board of the Thuong Tin Commune Party Committee while also pointing out difficulties, shortcomings and limitations to help improve implementation in the coming period.

Ngoc emphasized that the inspection process must ensure democracy and objectivity, strictly follow inspection procedures and supervision regulations, promote self-criticism and criticism within the inspected Party organizations and avoid formalism.

He also requested that inspection reports be completed in accordance with the prescribed outline and appendices, ensuring that assessments are based on concrete results from the study and implementation of the resolutions of the 14th National Party Congress and the 18th Hanoi Party Congress.

The Hanoi Party Secretary also asked Thuong Tin Commune to establish and implement working regulations, programs and plans to carry out Party congress resolutions at all levels while strengthening the Party organization and political system in a clean and strong manner, emphasizing responsibility, exemplary conduct and action with specific data supporting each report.

He instructed members of Inspection Team No. 01 to maintain a strong sense of responsibility, strictly follow the team's assignments and regulations, avoid unnecessary disruptions to local operations and ensure the inspection proceeds according to the planned schedule and objectives.

Ngoc also requested that the commune organize the election of deputies to the 16th National Assembly and People's Councils at all levels for the 2026–2031 term effectively, ensuring security and order while strengthening communication about the significance and importance of the election.

The commune must create favorable conditions for all citizens to fully exercise their voting rights in accordance with the law, maintain reporting procedures and promptly address any issues arising during the election process.

The Hanoi Party Secretary also directed Thuong Tin Commune to focus on implementing tasks and solutions to achieve socio-economic development targets, contributing to the city's goal of achieving economic growth of 11% or higher in 2026.

The commune should promote the development and branding of craft village products associated with job creation, increasing product value, expanding markets and training and converting workers' occupations.

This would gradually shift labor from low-productivity agricultural and handicraft work to more specialized employment, creating stable jobs in craft village industrial clusters and improving local incomes.

In addition, the commune should promote sustainable economic development linked with urbanization and digital transformation, strengthen urban infrastructure development, improve land management, protect the environment and build a rural landscape that is bright, green, clean and beautiful.

Earlier, Hanoi Party Secretary Nguyen Duy Ngoc visited and inspected production activities at Happiness Vietnam Co., Ltd. at the Tien Phong Craft Village Industrial Point in Thuong Tin Commune and reviewed election preparations at Polling Station No. 50 in the commune.
