Speaking at the conference on implementing the tasks in 2025, comrade Le Tien Chau, member of the Party Central Committee, Secretary of the City Party Committee, Head of the Hai Phong National Assembly Delegation emphasized: in 2024, despite difficulties and challenges, especially the heavy impact of storm No. 3, Hai Phong achieved many encouraging, proud, and comprehensive results in all fields. This is the result of the persistent and continuous efforts and struggles over the past year of the entire political system and all classes of people, and is the inheritance of the successes and achievements of 38 years of renovation. However, the city should not be complacent or satisfied. On the contrary, it must try harder and be more determined in 2025 to meet the requirements and demands in the new development stage of the city and the era of national development.
Nimportant foundations
Welcoming the new year 2025, the Party Committee, government, army and people of Hai Phong city are always confident because after going through the turbulent year of 2024, the city has achieved many miraculous results, creating an important foundation for 2025 and the following years. Chairman of the City People's Committee Nguyen Van Tung emphasized that 17/19 main targets were completed and exceeded, which is considered an important mark of Hai Phong. In particular, with a GRDP growth rate of 11,01%, 1,5 times higher than the national average and ranked 3rd out of 63 provinces and cities; the 10th consecutive year the city has grown at a double-digit rate is also very special. Secretary of the City Party Committee Le Tien Chau affirmed, "This is truly a miracle in the period of innovation, no locality in the country has been able to do it".
However, the most important thing is that with the double-digit GRDP growth rate for many consecutive years, the city's socio-economic potential has been constantly consolidated and strengthened. In particular, in 2, Hai Phong continued to make a new mark as it was the third year that the total budget revenue in the area exceeded 2024 billion VND, reaching 3 billion VND, the highest ever. In particular, domestic budget revenue excellently exceeded the plan with a total revenue of 100.000 billion VND; import-export tax revenue reached 118.255 billion VND, an increase of more than 50.068-67.068 billion VND compared to the assigned estimate. This source of revenue helps the city have more conditions from internal resources to realize its wishes, meeting the development requirements of the city and the aspirations of the people. Many other socio-economic indicators also reached high levels, in which attracting FDI capital alone reached 5000 billion VND, 9000 times higher than the plan, which is also a miracle.
In response to these very proud and exciting results, Secretary of the City Party Committee Le Tien Chau stated: “What I am grateful for, touched by and highly appreciate about the team of cadres, civil servants, public employees and workers of the city is their dedication, responsibility and dedication to their duties, with the spirit of “complete any task, overcome any difficulty”. The clearest evidence is that many comrades assigned tasks are not afraid of difficulties, stick close and stick to the end until the product is produced. Or like during typhoon Yagi, although many cadres and civil servants suffered damage due to the storm, they still temporarily put it aside, stayed at their agencies, localities and bases, to promptly advise on the implementation of storm prevention and control work and overcome the consequences after the storm. These are the clearest evidences, demonstrating the responsible attitude and dedication to the city of each cadre assigned to the task, very effective, need to be spread, recognized, commended and promoted in the coming time.

The Secretary of the City Party Committee affirmed that thanks to that spirit, in 2024, Hai Phong completed many important tasks, which are the foundation and launching pad for the city in the coming period. Specifically, the city has been issued many new Resolutions and mechanisms by the Party Central Committee, the National Assembly and the Government, opening up new space, room and development momentum. Notable are Conclusion No. 96 of the Politburo on continuing to implement Resolution No. 45; Resolution No. 1232 of the National Assembly Standing Committee on the arrangement of administrative units at district and commune levels; Resolution No. 169 of the National Assembly on the organization of urban government; Decision No. 1511 of the Prime Minister on the establishment of the Southern Coastal Economic Zone of Hai Phong.
The Secretary of the City Party Committee acknowledged and commended the City People's Committee for its leadership and direction of implementation; relevant departments, branches and units have made every effort and the highest determination to complete many urgent tasks assigned by the City Party Committee such as: preliminary review of Resolution No. 45 of the Politburo (3 months earlier than the schedule set by the Central Economic Committee); Resolution No. 35 of the National Assembly; establishment of the Southern Coastal Economic Zone of Hai Phong; arrangement of district and commune-level administrative units of the city; organization of urban government in the city; implementation of socio-economic targets such as budget collection, public investment disbursement, etc.
Confidently step into the new era
Those outstanding achievements and results, which few localities can achieve, are the foundation for Hai Phong to move towards a bright future. However, on that path, difficulties, challenges and pressures are also great, requiring each cadre, civil servant, party member and citizen to make continuous efforts and make continuous efforts to realize the development aspiration.
According to the analysis of the Secretary of the City Party Committee Le Tien Chau, Hai Phong still has many limitations. Of the 19 socio-economic development targets, 2 targets (gross regional gross domestic product (GRDP) and GRDP per capita) have not been achieved; the city's economic structure still relies mainly on heavy industry and logistics, and growth quality needs to be improved. In addition, the structure of land revenue accounts for a fairly high proportion of the city's domestic revenue, much higher than that of localities such as Ho Chi Minh City, Hanoi, Da Nang, Quang Ninh, etc.
Chairman of the City People's Committee Nguyen Van Tung further stated: the investment project to build the coastal road and upgrade it to a highway is still slow; the documents for bidding to select an investor to build a high-tech waste treatment plant - waste incineration to generate electricity in Dinh Vu, Hai An district have not been completed; the site clearance of some projects is still slow, such as: the HaiPhong Sakura Golf Club project to renovate the Nguyen Binh Khiem sidewalk from Van Cao street to the Le Hong Phong overpass; the settlement of some complicated cases is still slow; there are still a few cadres, party members, and civil servants who violate the law...
From there, it is required that in 2025, we must clearly see our position and status and accelerate more strongly, the city's economic potential must increase higher.


Therefore, in 2025, Hai Phong chose the theme of the year as "Expanding economic and urban space; promoting special mechanisms and policies; enhancing green transformation and digital transformation". The 10 main groups of tasks and solutions to implement socio-economic development and maintain national defense and security are very specific and clear, but Chairman of the City People's Committee Nguyen Van Tung emphasized: increased potential, mobilized resources and used reasonably and effectively will be the decisive factors to promote Hai Phong to continue to explode in 2025. Along with that, immediately overcome stagnation and dependence in performing tasks, promote dynamism, creativity, proactiveness, and promote rapid implementation of projects that have been and are being deployed in the area.
According to Secretary of the City Party Committee Le Tien Chau, the year 2025 is of special importance, deciding the success of implementing the Resolution of the 16th City Party Congress; at the same time, it is the foundation and important premise for the city to enter the era of rising up with the country, with the economic growth target of 2026% or more in the 2030 - 15,65 period.
To achieve this goal, the Secretary of the City Party Committee requested that 22/30 urgent and key tasks must be completed by the end of the term, which the Standing Committee of the City Party Committee has assigned to each cadre and party member. At the same time, it is important to focus on the task of building specific, outstanding and breakthrough mechanisms and policies to create development momentum for the city; ensure the completion of the dossier for approval on the construction of a new Resolution to replace Resolution No. 35 dated November 13, 11 of the National Assembly, strive to submit it to the National Assembly for early approval, and at the same time prepare conditions for implementation immediately after the resolution is issued. At the same time, it is necessary to focus on removing difficulties and obstacles and starting a number of important driving forces to renew the city's growth momentum.

The City Party Secretary emphasized that according to the draft resolution replacing Resolution 35, the city plans to propose to the Central Government to decentralize more deeply and widely on many issues. Meanwhile, the city is arranging and streamlining the organizational apparatus, associated with streamlining the payroll. From there, the Party Committee of the City People's Committee is assigned to direct the review of all current regulations on authority, to thoroughly decentralize to the district level, the district level to the commune level; the City People's Committee to decentralize to the Department and branch level. This is an urgent task, which needs to be prepared immediately so that after the arrangement, there will be a new organizational apparatus, with specific, clear, and scientific functions and tasks.
The Secretary of the City Party Committee requested to focus on implementing specific products on the annual work theme of digital transformation and green transformation.
Along with that, it is necessary to continue to tighten discipline and order, thoroughly overcome the situation of cadres and party members violating the law and party discipline, and violating the standard code of conduct of party members.
According to the Secretary of the City Party Committee, the city is urgently arranging and streamlining the organizational apparatus, restructuring the staff, associated with streamlining the payroll. Therefore, it is recommended that all cadres, party members, and workers in the political system, especially the heads of Party committees and authorities at all levels, must unify their views and realize that the task of streamlining the organizational apparatus, restructuring the staff, associated with streamlining the payroll is a revolution for the overall development of the city.
In 2025, Hai Phong's tasks will be more difficult. There are advantages, but there are also many difficulties and challenges. But as Secretary of the City Party Committee Le Tien Chau affirmed, new opportunities and fortunes have come to the city, the factors of "heavenly time, favorable location, and harmony of people" are sufficient. Along with the support and wholehearted assistance of the Central Government, with internal strength and high solidarity and consensus, Hai Phong will certainly continue to develop explosively, surpassing the set targets at a high level, creating new motivation and driving force to build and develop Hai Phong city to become the leading locality in the country in the cause of industrialization and modernization./.
