The project must offer better mechanisms to the city in line with Conclusion No.22-KL/TW by the Politburo and Resolution No.18-NQ/TW by the Party Central Committee, ensure the Party leadership and direction over the municipal authorities at all levels, he said.

He requested the steering committee in charge of building the project acquire suggestions at the event, adding that the government will partner with Hanoi during the process.

Secretary of the municipal Party Committee Hoang Trung Hai said a steering committee was established in February 2018, thoroughly studying eight sub-projects in service of the pilot project, holding eight seminars and working with scientists and intellectuals to acquire their feedback.

The city also held seminars from the grassroots level and collected opinions from ministries and National Assembly committees on the project.

The project also looks to strengthen rural administration in towns, communes and districts while renewing decentralisation mechanisms and activities of the Party, Vietnam Fatherland Front and mass organisations at communal and district levels.-VNA
