Hanoi had actively promoted the development of other localities in the Red River delta and affirmed its leading position in the whole country in terms of growth, affirmed a Party Politburo member.

The Politburo member and permanent member of the Communist Party of Vietnam Central Committee (CPVCC) Secretariat, Truong Tan Sang, made these remarks at the Jan. 23 working session with the Hanoi Party Committee Standing Board on the five-year implementation of the Politburo’s Resolution on socio-economic development and ensuring defence and security in the Red River delta until 2010 and vision for 2020.

Sang also asserted that Hanoi’s position was increasing on the international arena, stressing that the city was closely following all targets set out in the resolution.

Hanoi had made great contributions to the Red River delta and the entire country in not only tax revenues but also human resources and socio-cultural values, he said.

Sang also pointed out shortcomings and weaknesses that the city should overcome to attain higher future growth.

Deputy Secretary of the Hanoi Party’s Committee and Chairman of the Hanoi People’s Committee Nguyen The Thao said that over the past five years the city had recorded an annual GDP growth of 10.73 percent with services up by 10.35 percent, industry-construction went up by 12.78 percent and agriculture increased by 2.62 percent.

The city’s economic restructuring had shifted in a positive direction, he said.

The cooperation development ties between Hanoi and other Red River cities and provinces and the entire country had been consolidated and expanded to bring into play all internal resources and effectively tap the Red River delta’s potentials and advantages, he added./.
