Avoid project delays that cause great waste of land.
This morning (November 27), General Secretary To Lam led a Central delegation to visit and chair a working session with the Standing Committee of the Hanoi Party Committee on the results of Party building, political system building, socio-economic development, national defense and security, and foreign affairs of the city in 2024 and the plan for 2025, period 2025-2030.
Concluding the meeting, General Secretary To Lam highly appreciated the achievements of Hanoi. In particular, the spirit of solidarity and unity of the Party Committee, government and people, overcoming all difficulties, resolutely implementing 3 strategic breakthroughs associated with synchronous implementation of socio-economic development goals and tasks. Up to now, the set tasks have been basically completed, with 20/24 targets expected to be completed, of which 6 targets exceeded the plan.

According to the General Secretary, the capital is increasingly prosperous, the prestige of Party committees and authorities at all levels among the people is increasingly enhanced. Hanoi has also implemented the Central Government's policies very quickly and drastically, creating a premise for strong development in the new development period. The Hanoi Party Committee has been doing a good job of preparing for congresses at all levels.
General Secretary To Lam also suggested that the city focus on promoting the implementation of large projects to support business development, avoiding the situation of slow project implementation causing great waste of land and directly affecting business development.
Along with that, it is necessary to focus on renovating old apartment buildings, preparing social housing and resettlement housing to serve the site clearance work for the implementation of major projects of the Central and the city.
During the implementation process, it is necessary to carefully calculate when planning, ensuring a long-term vision, avoiding the situation where resettlement houses and social housing that have just been built for a short time must be demolished, causing a huge waste of resources.
Promoting digital transformation
General Secretary To Lam hopes that in the coming time, the city will continue to do a better job of taking care of people's health so that students can study in smart, modern schools and people can receive increasingly high-quality health care.
At the same time, in the coming time, Hanoi will have a more systematic direction to develop its tourism potential and advantages, especially promoting the values of the Thang Long Imperial Citadel Relic Site.

Along with focusing on promoting the inner-city traffic system and developing bridges across the Red River to reduce current traffic pressure, the General Secretary also hopes that the city will continue to promote digital transformation, spreading this process to every citizen, to create the premise for building a digital society and digital citizens.
Appreciating Hanoi's breakthrough proposals and recommendations related to socio-economic development, General Secretary To Lam also hoped that Hanoi would continue to pay attention to investing in overcoming environmental pollution, maintaining and promoting the value of rivers, including the Red River and To Lich River; thoroughly treating all wastewater in the city; and recalculating the waste collection and treatment plan to ensure people's health and reduce the difficulties and hardships for environmental workers.
According to General Secretary To Lam, the development of the West Lake area of the capital is the right direction because this area is the connection point with Dong Anh. At the same time, it promotes the development of both banks of the Red River.
The General Secretary suggested that, immediately after the meeting with the Standing Committee of the Hanoi Party Committee, the Government, ministries and branches should focus on resolving as soon as possible all difficulties of the capital in the fields of planning, land, environment, etc. so that Hanoi can maximize its inherent potential and develop commensurate with the role and position of the capital.
General Secretary To Lam believes and expects that the capital city of Hanoi will continue to develop steadily, becoming increasingly green, clean, beautiful, civilized and modern; and continue to maintain its status as a model city, leading the country.
