At the session, Chairman of the Hanoi People's Council Nguyen Ngoc Tuan noted the council had decided to hold the 11th meeting to address various important issues related to the city's staff arrangement and socio-economic development.

One of the key topics discussed was the management, use, and exploitation of public assets in Hanoi from 2022 to 2025, with a focus on the years 2026-2030.

Tuan said these issues were previously reviewed by the City Council at the 7th meeting in mid-2022. In response to the resolution of the Hanoi People's Council, the city People's Committee has been actively developing a plan to address the shortcomings and limitations and improve the quality of management, utilization, and exploitation of public assets, he said.

According to Tuan, the effective management of public assets in Hanoi is an important and urgent issue that has caught the attention of the city's leaders and has been addressed in Program No. 02 of the City Party Committee's Plan for Economic Development and Resource Mobilization for the period 2021-2025.

As part of the Council's agenda for 2023, Tuan noted that the Standing Committee of the City People's Council has formed a study team to assess the status and progress of the Ring Road No. 4 project in the Hanoi Capital Region.

"The results revealed problems related to mechanisms, policies, and procedures, including capital allocation for two sub-projects, 1.1 and 2.1," Tuan said.

Accordingly, the Standing Committee of the City People's Council has urged local authorities to resolve the existing shortcomings soon to ensure that the construction of the Ring Road 4 - Hanoi Capital Region project starts in June 2023.

The Chairman of the Municipal People's Council urged the deputies to show a heightened sense of responsibility, actively participate in research and discussion, and offer valuable and honest opinions in order to make informed decisions on the issues presented at the meeting.

In addition, the Council will deliberate and ratify the following matters: amendments to the 2023 Public Investment Plan; approval and adjustment of investment policies for several projects utilizing public investment capital in the city; revisions and additions to the list of land acquisition projects and conversion of rice fields for the year 2023; and other important matters.

These measures will help accelerate the capital's socio-economic progress, Tuan said.
