In implementing this task, the Prime Minister stressed a “dual approach”: immediate and long-term, inheriting and enhancing existing elements while expanding and developing new content. If necessary, adjust previous plans to immediately execute major projects. Urgently prepare documents for approval by competent authorities to elevate the Capital’s development. This is based on the updated vision of the 14th National Party Congress Resolution, new contexts, perspectives, and goals for the nation’s new development era, including a double-digit growth target in the coming years. It also concretizes and implements the Politburo’s strategic resolutions with breakthrough orientations, especially in science and technology development, innovation, digital transformation, and Hanoi Party Committee’s 18th Congress Resolution.
