Nguyen Minh Duc also proposed Hanoi People's Committee and People's Council to revise the formulation of mechanisms and policies related to the Law on the Capital to create basis for the City People's Committee to implement activities in the next 5 years. For example, Hanoi People's Committee issued the Regulation on management planning, high-building architecture in the historic inner-city areas of Hanoi, the people support and said that there have never obvious regulations to perform.

Additional comments on the measures stated in the draft resolution, Nguyen Minh Duc noted the mobilization of people and resources of the Capital's people to work with the government, the industries to implement the targets suggested.

"For example, we conducted the year of urban orderly civilization, the City directed the departments, the levels to implement but have to appeal the people to participate to gain successful implementation. If not arousing people's resources, it is difficult to achieve the goal", Nguyen Minh Duc commented.
