Hung Yen (VNA) – Nguyen Huu Nghia, member of the Party Central Committee and Secretary of the Party Committee of Hung Yen province in the 2020–2025 tenure, has been assigned to hold the Secretary position for the 2025–2030 tenure, according to a Politburo decision announced at the first Party Congress of Hung Yen.
Participants at the congress, which concluded on October 3, also listened to the Politburo’s decisions to appoint 70 individuals to the provincial Party Committee and 22 to its Standing Board for the new tenure. Tran Quoc Toan, Tran Quoc Van, Nguyen Khac Than, and Nguyen Manh Hung became Deputy Secretaries of the provincial Party Committee.
The congress approved a resolution setting Hung Yen’s targets for the next five years and beyond. Accordingly, by 2030, the locality will push ahead with building and rectifying the Party and political system; promoting the strength of the great solidarity; enhancing the Party's leadership and combatant capabilities, as well as the quality of Party members; and building a dynamic economy with fast and sustainable development based on science, technology, innovation, and digital transformation.
By 2035, it aims to become a modern industrial province meeting criteria for a Tier-1 city; and by 2045, to transform into a smart and ecological city, with a leading modern industrial base in the country and a strong maritime economic centre in the North.
Among the 34 specific targets, highlights include average GRDP growth of 10–11% annually in the 2026–2030 period, per capita GRDP by 2030 exceeding 180 million VND (over 6,800 USD), universal access to clean water, 100% of hazardous and solid waste in both urban and rural areas collected and treated to standards, a multi‑dimensional household poverty rate under 0.5%, and new Party membership growing at least 3% annually.
To fulfil these goals, Hung Yen will focus on six major tasks and four major solution groups, along with three strategic breakthroughs – leveraging science, technology, innovation, and digitalisation as the main driver and the private sector as the most important impetus for economic growth; developing comprehensive socio‑economic infrastructure, especially digital and transport infrastructure; and cultivating high-quality human resources and a contingent of all-level cadres with capability appropriate to new development requirements, according to the resolution./.
