Leaders promise voters they will work hard for national development

CẦN THƠ — Prime Minister Phạm Minh Chính has pledged that he and the Government will work hard, together with the whole political system, army and people, to promote the country’s achievements and overcome difficulties to boost development and implement the Resolution of the  一 三th National Party Congress.

PM Chính and other candidates running for seats in the  一 五th National Assembly met voters in the Mekong Delta city of Cần Thơ’s constituency No.  一 on Saturday.

The PM said over  三 五 years of “Đổi mới” (renewal), Việt Nam had gained great achievements. However, the country was facing big challenges, including the ageing population, exhausted natural resources, climate change and non-traditional security issues, he said.

The Government leader pointed out three key pillars for the country’s development – people, including their brainpower and values, the value of nature and natural resources, and national historical and cultural values. He also stressed the need to promote national solidarity.

Regarding the action plan designed by the Government to realise the Resolution of the  一 三th National Party Congress, PM Chính said the plan was made to suit reality and will be implemented in a comprehensive and synchronous manner with a proper roadmap and priorities.

On the development of the Mekong Delta, including Cần Thơ City, he said that the  二0-million-strong region had yet to fully tap its potential.

Regarding transport infrastructure, the PM said it was necessary to focus on studying and re-planning the transportation system of the Mekong Delta and outline solutions and mechanisms for developing inland waterways, seaports, roads, expressways and airports in the region.

He suggested local authorities uphold the spirit of self-reliance, join hands with the Government to promote socio-economic development in the Mekong Delta, perform the Government's Resolution on sustainable development of the Mekong Delta to adapt to climate change, and the Politburo’s Resolution on building and developing Cần Thơ City to  二0 三0, with a vision to  二0 四 五.

For Cần Thơ City, he underlined the need to build the city into a political, economic and cultural centre and a hub of transport, logistics services and agriculture of the whole region.

The Government leader also discussed COVID- 一 九 prevention and control efforts with local voters, noting it was essential to oppose tendencies of being distracted, panic, and extreme in the fight against the pandemic.  

The PM urged the entire population, including voters in the Mekong Delta, to voluntarily and strictly follow regulations on COVID- 一 九 prevention and control.

Voters in Ninh Kiều, Cái Răng and Phong Điền districts of Cần Thơ City highly value action progra妹妹es of the candidates.

They hope if the candidates are elected, they will effectively implement their action progra妹妹es and tackle issues that voters care about.

After listening to voters’ opinions, the candidates pledged that if elected, they will work hard and regularly meet with people to understand their needs.

They highlighted their action plans, focusing on promoting the role of people’s representatives, protecting the interests of people, and engaging in deciding important issues of the country and supervising the implementation of laws and operations of the State, Government and local administrations.

They said that in any position, they would always work hard to complete all tasks assigned by the Party, State and people, becoming an example in abiding by the Party's policies, the Constitution and the State's laws.

On behalf of candidates in the constituency, Party General Secretary Trọng thanked the voters for contributing their opinions.

He said that from a war-torn country, Việt Nam had risen to its highest position ever in the international arena. However, there would be much to do in the future, especially amid the COVID- 一 九 pandemic, he said.

The Party leader called on the whole Party and people to stay united, helping the nation.

He also stressed the need for officials and NA deputies to work hard to complete their tasks. — VNS
