The meeting was attended by Nguyen Van Tung, Deputy Secretary of the Hai Phong Party Committee and Chairman of the City People’s Committee; Do Manh Hien, Standing Deputy Secretary of the City Party Committee; deputy heads and members of the Steering Committee; and leaders of relevant departments, sectors and units.
At the meeting, the Steering Committee heard a report on the results of implementing the tasks under Resolution 57-NQ/TW during the first six months of the year and the tasks for the last six months of 2025; a summary report on Action Plan No. 475-KH/TU dated May 22, 2025, issued by the Standing Committee of the City Party Committee to implement Resolution No. 57-NQ/TW; a report on the cooperation plan between Hai Phong and FPT Group in 2025; a report on deploying software for consolidating reporting information among agencies, units and localities from the city level to the grassroots level; and a report on coordination with relevant agencies and units of Hai Duong Province to prepare solutions for applying information technology and digital transformation to leadership, direction, administration, information, reporting and coordination among agencies in the city’s political system after the merger of Hai Duong Province and Hai Phong City.
After hearing the reports and opinions of the Steering Committee members, Le Tien Chau, Secretary of the City Party Committee and Head of the city’s Steering Committee for science and technology development, innovation and digital transformation, acknowledged the initial efforts and results of departments, sectors, units and localities. He noted that they had proactively undertaken their assigned work and coordinated with relevant departments, sectors and units of Hai Duong Province to assess technologies and databases in preparation for the merger.
The City Party Secretary emphasized that, to strive for Hai Phong to rank among the top three localities nationwide in digital transformation in 2025, agencies and units must act more decisively in carrying out their assigned tasks, seek support from central ministries and sectors, and learn from localities with more experience. With little time remaining in 2025 and many tasks related to the merger and socio-economic development still to be carried out, the City Party Secretary requested continued coordination with agencies and units of Hai Duong Province to review and carefully assess the current situation identified in the Central Government’s plan, and to complete and supplement new objectives, targets and action plans in line with the targets assigned by the Central Government; specifically assess the infrastructure and technology platforms of the two localities to agree on new infrastructure and synchronize technology before the merger, ensuring that operational requirements are met; regularly inspect, urge and review tasks in resolutions, plans and work programs of the Central Government and the city so that no assigned task is missed; focus on building a monitoring system for the city’s implementation of Resolution No. 57-NQ/TW and connecting it with the Central Government’s monitoring system; establish reporting mechanisms, standardize report content and reporting schedules; closely follow the Central Government’s direction to receive and provide timely training on software; and propose that the Central Government allow Hai Phong to pilot a number of digital-transformation tasks.
The City Party Secretary requested that the City Party Committee’s Party Committee of the People’s Committee advise the City Party Committee, based on the action plan, on implementing tasks for the 2025–2030 period. Tasks must be defined specifically for each year, following the principle of clear personnel, clear work, clear progress and clear responsibility, with resources ensuring feasibility. The city should develop cooperation plans with advanced countries, regions and other localities to study their experience, while prioritizing industry, seaports and logistics; promptly report to the Standing Committee of the City Party Committee so that it can issue a directive on applying AI to work; focus on investing in and upgrading the city data center; and build a smart operations monitoring center and a center supporting startups and innovation.
The City Party Secretary requested that the Office of the City Party Committee regularly inspect, urge and review the tasks of Steering Committee members and agencies and units; coordinate with the City Party Committee’s Party Committee of the People’s Committee to build consolidated reporting software, ensuring integration when connected with Hai Duong Province; and define the functions and duties of the Advisory Council so that opinions can be solicited on key areas in the coming period. The Propaganda and Mass Mobilization Department of the City Party Committee shall focus on implementing the “Digital Literacy for All” movement through coordinated and creative methods, ensuring that residents acquire the skills necessary for everyday life. The Department of Home Affairs shall study and supplement the Resolution on attracting talent, toward establishing special mechanisms for officials working in science and technology and innovation. The Vietnam Fatherland Front Committee of the city and its member organizations shall continue communicating the implementation of Resolution No. 57-NQ/TW through creative approaches, ensuring that officials, Party members and residents can easily remember and carry it out. The City Party Secretary requested that members of the city’s Steering Committee for science and technology development, innovation and digital transformation, the assisting team and advisory members closely follow their assigned tasks and regard them as a central task for the city’s breakthrough development in the coming period./.
