Phu Yen (VNA) – National Assembly (NA) Chairman Tran Thanh Man on March 13 chaired a working session that looked into a draft inspection report on the Standing Board of the Party Committee of the south-central province of Phu Yen.
At the meeting, an official of the Party Central Committee's Inspection Commission presented a draft report on the examination results of Phu Yen's implementation of the Party Central Committee's and the Politburo's directives, resolutions, and conclusions on the organisation of Party congresses, apparatus re-arrangement, socio-economic development in 2025, and breakthroughs in developing science, technology, innovation, and national digital transformation.
In his concluding remarks, the top legislator, who is also head of the Politburo’s inspection delegation No. 1910, acknowledged that despite significant challenges in 2024, Phu Yen has made notable progress, achieving and surpassing 14 out of its 17 key targets. The province’s domestic revenue exceeded 5.36 trillion VND (210.11 million USD), a year-on-year increase of 29.9%, while its household poverty rate under new criteria reduced by 0.78%.
However, Man urged Phu Yen to analyse causes of the failure to meet some targets, particularly its GRDP growth of 6.17%, falling short of the 7.5% target, and low public investment disbursement.
He went on to highlight the province’s potential and strengths, noting it serves as a key gateway connecting Vietnam’s Central Highlands and the Cambodia-Laos-Vietnam development triangle area, boasts close proximity to international shipping routes, and has a deep-water port. Phu Yen also holds advantages for becoming a major tourism hub of the country and the region.
The NA leader underscored the need for the locality to carry out in-depth assessments and solutions to address challenges facing its infrastructure, workforce, and training of officials and civil servants.
He applauded the province's efforts in organising all-level Party congresses towards the 14th National Party Congress, reforming and re-arranging the political system's apparatus, developing science, technology, innovation, and digital transformation, and promoting socio-economic development to achieve faster growth under the relevant directives, resolutions, and conclusions of the Party Central Committee and the Politburo.
Man asked the provincial Party Committee’s Standing Board to strengthen political and ideological education for officials and Party members regarding the Party’s and State’s policies.
He said it is important to properly implement Party General Secretary To Lam's directions on preparations for Party congresses at all levels.
A long-term approach in personnel planning is necessary to prepare leadership personnel for not just one term but multiple future terms to support the development of Party organisations, sectors, agencies, and the province, the Chairman stated./.
