Secretary of the Hanoi Party Committee Dinh Tien Dung gave the remarks at a meeting discussing the city’s situation after a week-long Tet held today [February 7].
According to Dung, the city’s right preparation for Tet had helped ensure that the locals enjoyed a safe and happy festive period, while public order and social stability were maintained throughout Tet.
“Hanoi is effectively containing the pandemic with the number of daily infection cases on the decline,” Dung said.
The city Party chief called for health facilities, especially those at the grassroots level, to enhance capabilities to better meet public demands.
With public investment among key priorities for economic growth, Dung expected local authorities to speed up the execution of large-scale projects by addressing the concerns of contractors.
Among those, the feasibility study for the Ring road No.4 project should be completed and submitted to the Government ahead of the National Assembly’s session next May, he noted.
Dung mentioned the necessity to continue pushing for the renovation of old buildings and investment in three strategic fields of healthcare, education, and cultural-historical heritage sites.
Regarding the education sector, Dung called for greater attention in the construction of 450 new schools and improving the quality of teachers.
In the field of culture, he urged greater decentralization in carrying out preservation works for heritage sites, as well as in soon reopening attraction spots, cultural and spiritual heritage.
This year, the city aims to launch the construction of Ngo Quyen Temple in Dong Anh district and the restoration of the Kinh Thien Palace.
