Toan stressed that draft documents of the congress have outlined the targets, tasks and solutions for the next tenure based on thorough assessments of outcomes in the previous tenure.
He affirmed that the city’s Party Organisation had completed all set targets in the 2015-2020 tenure, highlighting the efforts of the Party members, administration and people of the capital city.
According to Toan, a new point in the process of drafting the documents was the involvement of local officials, Party members and people across the city. In particular, ministries, sectors and central agencies as well as the Party Committees of the National Assembly and Government have also contributed their opinions, while the Politburo has given ideas to guide the process.
He noted that a new feature of the upcoming city Party Congress is the building of a Plan of Action to implement the resolution of the congress will be tabled for discussion during the congress.
Meanwhile, head of the city Party Committee’s Commission for Popularisation and Education Nguyen Van Phong said preparations of documents for the city 17th Party Congress have been implemented carefully.

Phong underscored that the report also includes updates from the draft Political Report of the 13th National Party Congress.
He expressed the belief that the draft documents of the Hanoi 17th Party Congress are the combination of the brainpower and consensus of the entire Party Organisation and locals in the city.
