As part of the Congress programme, Le Anh Quan, Member of the Standing Committee of the City Party Committee, Standing Deputy Secretary of the Party Committee and Standing Vice Chairman of the City People’s Committee, presented the Political Report of the Party Executive Committee on behalf of the Party Organisation of the City People’s Committee.
With the motto “Unity – Democracy – Discipline – Creativity – Development”, the Congress set the theme: “Improving the leadership capacity and combat strength of grassroots Party organisations; determinedly making breakthroughs and building a clean and strong Party Organisation; successfully leading economic and social, national defence and security tasks as the city enters the era of national rise”.
Successfully implementing the Party Congress Resolution for the 2020–2025 term
During the 2020–2025 term, with a spirit of unity, initiative and creativity, the Party Civil Affairs Committee, the Party Organisation of the Hai Phong City People’s Committee and, before the merger, the Party Organisation of the Hai Duong Provincial People’s Committee, now the Party Organisation of the Hai Phong City People’s Committee, upheld their responsibility and effectively led and organised the implementation of assigned political tasks. Subordinate Party committees and organisations followed the direction of the Party Central Committee, Government, National Assembly, ministries and sectors, and directly that of the Standing Committees and Executive Committees of the Hai Phong and Hai Duong Party organisations. They successfully implemented the resolutions of the 16th Hai Phong City Party Congress and the 17th Hai Duong Provincial Party Congress for 2020–2025, contributing to socio-economic development, strengthening national defence and security, and expanding local external relations. Average GRDP growth in 2021–2025 is expected to reach 11.39%; the economy in 2025 is estimated at VND 502,396.7 billion, 1.83 times the 2020 level. State-budget revenues and expenditures and investment attraction met or exceeded plans. Urban and rural infrastructure in both localities became increasingly modern and spacious.
Culture, tourism and festivals developed strongly and contributed two world natural heritage sites. Healthcare received increased investment, while inclusive and widespread social welfare led the country. External relations, integration, development cooperation and international economic integration expanded. Hai Phong maintained double-digit growth for 10 consecutive years; its provincial competitiveness index (PCI) and administrative reform index (PAR Index) consistently ranked among the national leaders. In 2024, Hai Phong ranked first nationwide in all three indexes: PCI, PAR Index and SIPAS. Investment attraction continued to deliver impressive results. Hai Duong achieved or exceeded 17 of 19 key targets; its PCI improved clearly each year and ranked 14th nationwide in 2024, 33 places higher than in 2020, while its SIPAS also remained among the high-ranking localities.
Party building made positive progress in all five areas of politics, ideology, ethics, organisation and personnel. Ideological and ethical work received attention; the Party’s principles were firmly upheld; organisation and personnel work followed procedures and regulations; and the Charter, organisational principles and Party activities, especially democratic centralism, were strictly observed. The quality of Party members and the leadership capacity and combat strength of grassroots Party organisations continued to improve. Party discipline was maintained, and democracy in Party activities within agencies and units and in relations with the people was expanded.
From the beginning of the term through February 2025, the two Party organisations held 35 political theory training courses for nearly 4,000 new Party members; 79 Party-awareness courses for more than 9,300 outstanding masses; sent 903 cadres and Party members to advanced and intermediate political theory courses; and admitted 5,054 new Party members, meeting the assigned target. The entire Party Organisation registered 945 “Mass Mobilisation” models, with good practices and initiatives in scientific research, teaching, production and business, and exemplary Party members creating a strong spread and helping agencies and units complete their political tasks.
Setting 31 targets and three breakthroughs for the 2025–2030 term
For 2025–2030, the Party Organisation of the City People’s Committee set the goal that by 2030 the Party Organisation of the Hai Phong City People’s Committee would be truly clean and strong, with an effective and efficient administrative apparatus and a capable contingent of officials. Hai Phong will be built and developed into a major seaport city with modern, smart and sustainable industry, leading the country in industrialisation, modernisation, digital transformation, green transformation and innovation; serving as a development engine for the Northern region and the country; with synchronous, modern transport infrastructure connected domestically and internationally; continuously improving people’s material and spiritual lives; deep international integration; a drug-free city with social order and safety ensured and national defence and security maintained; and an initial successful model of socialism associated with socialist people.
The Party Organisation set 21 socio-economic targets and 13 targets for Party organisation building. These include average GRDP growth of at least 13% per year in 2026–2030, striving for at least 14%; industry and construction growth of 15.2% per year; services 10.9%; agriculture, forestry and fisheries 2%; product tax less subsidies 8%; Hai Phong’s GRDP accounting for more than 6% of national GDP in 2030; per-capita GRDP of USD 11,247; average industrial production index growth of 15.5–16.5%, striving for 16.5–17.5%; processing and manufacturing accounting for 47–48% of GRDP; high-tech industrial products exceeding 60% of processing and manufacturing; state-budget revenue reaching VND 245,500 billion, including VND 122,000 billion domestic revenue; total realised investment of VND 2.4 quadrillion; exports of USD 75–80 billion; port cargo throughput of 380 million tonnes; 25 million tourist arrivals; DTI, PCI, PAR Index and PGI ranking in the national top five every year, striving for the top three; 80% of communes, or 55/67, meeting advanced new-rural standards; 50%, or 34/67, meeting model new-rural standards; and about 32,900 social housing units completed in 2026–2030. At least 70% of grassroots Party organisations are to register “Mass Mobilisation” models annually, 90% of grassroots Party cells and organisations are to achieve “four-good” status, and internal political appraisal dossiers must not be delayed.
The Party Organisation also identified three breakthroughs for 2025–2030: ensuring comprehensive leadership and improving the Party’s governing capacity in administrative agencies, public service units and state-owned enterprises by strengthening resolutions at grassroots level; continuing administrative reform linked with digital transformation in Party organisations, agencies and units to ensure smooth, effective operations and make Hai Phong a national leader in administrative reform; and comprehensively and effectively implementing four pillar resolutions: Politburo Resolution 57-NQ/TW of December 22, 2024 on breakthroughs in science, technology, innovation and national digital transformation; Resolution 59-NQ/TW of January 24, 2025 on international integration in the new situation; Resolution 66-NQ/TW of April 30, 2025 on reforming lawmaking and enforcement to meet development requirements in the new era; and Resolution 68-NQ/TW of May 4, 2025 on developing the private sector. The Party Organisation will tighten public-service discipline, correct working styles and methods, improve responsibility, capacity and service attitudes toward people and enterprises, and maintain a streamlined, effective and efficient organisational apparatus./.
