He highlighted local advantages, including the strategic location in the Red River Delta; the fact of being part of the Gulf of Tonkin Economic Belt; a favourable geographical position for connecting with Hanoi, economic hubs, and neighbouring localities; along with young, abundant, and quality human resources.
The province also boasts a network of comprehensively invested road, railway, waterway, and seaport infrastructure, together with 14 industrial parks that have recorded total registered capital of about 5 billion USD. This indicates that Nam Dinh is moving in the right direction to develop high-quality industry, trade, services, tourism, and agriculture, Man remarked.
He said Nam Dinh has reaped relatively comprehensive results in implementing the resolutions of the 13th National Party Congress and the 20th provincial Party Congress. Notably, it achieved and surpassed 11 of the 12 targets set in the provincial congress’s resolution, including an average annual gross regional domestic product (GRDP) growth rate of 9.2%, the State budget revenue of 10 trillion VND (over 398 million USD), and the multidimensional household poverty rate brought down to 1.09%.
In particular, it has paid due attention to the Party and political system building. Despite a large number of administrative units needing to be re-arranged, Nam Dinh is one of the first three provinces nationwide to complete the work in the 2023 - 2025 period.
Pointing out some focal tasks for the coming time, Chairman Man asked the province to keep fruitfully implementing the resolutions of the national and provincial Party congresses’ resolutions, along with the Politburo’s Resolution No. 30 on the development of the Red River Delta by 2030, with a vision to 2045.
It should strive to reach and surpass socio-economic targets, properly carry out the Politburo’s Directive No. 35 on all-level Party congresses ahead of the 14th National Party Congress, and pay due heed to personnel affairs.
The permanent members and Standing Board of the provincial Party Committee need to take the lead in enhancing solidarity, step up the decentralisation of power in tandem with examination, supervision, and improvement of leaders’ sense of responsibility, tighten discipline, and promote the spirit of thinking big, acting bold, and daring to bear responsibility, he demanded.
The top legislator told Nam Dinh to actively carry out the Provincial Master Plan, exert stronger efforts to become an important development powerhouse in the Red River Delta, and productively implement the national target programmes as well as the NA and Government’s resolutions.
He added that it needs to boost the investment and business climate improvement, administrative procedure reform, the competitiveness index, science - technology application, digital transformation, green transition, and public investment disbursement.
The Chairman also requested more attention be paid to building green and smart cities, harmonising urban and rural development, and foster large-scaled agricultural production at the same time with natural resources and environmental protection.
It is necessary for Nam Dinh to complete building advanced and model new-style countryside so that local rural areas become worth-living ones, maintain its top position nationwide in terms of the educational quality, and continue to reform and improve the performance of the NA deputies’ delegation of the province as well as all-level People’s Councils, according to Tran Thanh Man./.
