The PM acknowledged the city’s efforts and major achievements in the past years urging it to strengthen the Party organisation, enhance the democratic administrative system with good discipline and order, and push ahead with administrative reform to meet requirements in the new stage of development.

In the immediate future, the city should strictly implement the Party and Government’s directions on COVID-19 prevention and control, and make thorough preparations for the safe and successful organization of the elections of deputies to the 15th National Assembly and all-level People’s Councils in the 2021-2026 tenure, he said.

PM Chinh said the Government basically agrees with the 15 proposals of the city and suggested one more idea on building a regional and international financial centre.
