The seventh session of the Hanoi People’s Council opened in the capital city on July 1, discussing many issues including conducting a vote of confidence for 18 positions elected by the council.
Addressing the opening ceremony, Chairwoman of the municipal People’s Council Ngo Thi Doan Thanh said the session will also deliberate 11 issues related to the institutionalisation of the Law on Capital City, increasing the number of full-time deputies to better perform the duties of the council.
In her speech, Politburo member, Secretary of the Party Central Committee and Vice Chairwoman of the National Assembly Nguyen Thi Kim Ngan stressed that the organisation of the vote of confidence for 18 positions elected by the People’s Council is an important task. It should be conducted in an objective, transparent and constructive manner, she added.
Reporting the city’s socio-economic performance in the first six months of the year, Vice Chairman of the Hanoi People’s Committee Nguyen Van Suu said despite economic difficulties, the city’s production and trade posted a fair growth rate, however, it is lower than the yearly target.
He added that the city’s GDP is estimated to increase by 7.6 percent during the period, lower than the target of 8.0-8.5 percent. Meanwhile, budget collection was lower than the same period last year as well as the forecast.
The slow recovery of the global and national economies and the weaknesses in the management and cooperation between relevant branches were attributable to the problems, Suu said.
In the coming time, the city’s branches and businesses should fully implement measures to support the market, remove difficulties and develop production, he said.-VNA
