The session, attended by representatives from provincial Departments of Home Affairs, Finance, Construction, Science and Technology, Ethnic and Religious Affairs, as well as the Provincial Military Command and Police, focused on addressing ongoing challenges in implementing the two-tier local government model and promoting growth.
According to reports presented by the communes, the administrative apparatus has remained stable after more than three months of operating under the new model, effectively serving both residents and businesses. As of early October, Phù Mỹ Nam ranked 10th and Phù Mỹ ranked 75th out of 135 communes and wards in the provincial Public Service Index.
Both localities reported steady economic progress. In Phù Mỹ commune, authorities have achieved 11 out of 19 socio-economic targets, with the total value of local products in the third quarter estimated at VND 723 billion (US$28.4 million), up 13.1% year-on-year.
Budget revenue for the first nine months reached VND 260 billion (US$10.2 million), exceeding the annual plan by 56.33%. The commune also attracted three new investment projects, meeting 100% of the provincial target.
In Phù Mỹ Nam commune, total product value grew by 3.03% in the third quarter and 6.02% over the first nine months.
However, commune leaders cited several difficulties, including limited operational funding, heavy workloads, and insufficient staff in key areas such as information technology, finance, education management, and agricultural services. They also reported challenges in industrial cluster planning, land clearance, and investment attraction.
Provincial departments and agencies provided clarifications and feedback on the communes’ proposals.
Concluding the session, Mr. Nguyễn Tuấn Thanh hailed the efforts of local Party committees and authorities but noted that results remain modest compared with each commune’s potential. He urged stronger determination to achieve all remaining socio-economic targets before year-end.
He directed both communes to stabilize their administrative systems, align staffing with capabilities, and complete commune planning for appraisal by the Department of Construction. The planning, he emphasized, should define clear development directions for the next term.
Localities were also instructed to speed up land clearance, attract investment into industrial zones, and accelerate the disbursement of public investment capital to meet 100% of the annual target. Preparations for key projects celebrating the 14th National Party Congress were also prioritized.
Mr. Thanh further highlighted the importance of social welfare, poverty reduction, and maintaining public security, as well as proactive measures for flood and storm prevention and readiness for the 2025–2026 Winter-Spring crop season.
He concluded by addressing specific proposals raised by the communes and reaffirmed the province’s commitment to supporting their continued development.
