In his opening remarks, Mr. Vo Van Minh, Deputy Secretary of the Party Committee and Chairman of the City People’s Council, highlighted that despite numerous challenges in the first nine months of 2025, Ho Chi Minh City has achieved significant milestones.

The economy has maintained steady growth, with positive developments in trade, services, industry, and import-export. Social welfare policies have been effectively implemented, and national defense and security remain robust.

Notably, 168 wards, communes, and special zones, following administrative reorganization, have swiftly streamlined their organizational structures, undertaken their responsibilities, and are on track to meet their set targets.

Preparations for the Party Congress at all levels have been conducted urgently and systematically, laying a solid foundation for the successful organization of the 1st City Party Congress for the 2025-2030 term, in accordance with the Central Committee’s plan and directives.

However, Ho Chi Minh City still faces challenges, particularly in decentralization, administrative procedure reform, and public investment disbursement.

To address these issues and ensure the smooth and efficient operation of the two-tier administrative system, thereby maximizing the achievement of 2025 goals, the Standing Committee of the City People’s Council has decided to hold the 4th session and plans to organize the 5th specialized session in November.

“This session has the largest workload since the reorganization of administrative units and local governments in Ho Chi Minh City, with 41 resolutions to be considered and adopted,” emphasized Mr. Vo Van Minh. He noted that these include 9 normative resolutions and 32 specific resolutions, covering various sectors such as economy, budget, urban development, culture, society, and legal systems.

According to him, these issues are of great importance, directly impacting the city’s development and attracting significant attention and expectations from residents and businesses.

The Chairman of the City People’s Council urged delegates to demonstrate high responsibility, competence, objectivity, and fairness. They should thoroughly study and discuss, providing valuable input to ensure the adopted resolutions reflect the collective wisdom and trust of voters, are feasible, and contribute to economic and social development while maintaining national defense and security in the new context.
