Chairwoman of the municipal People’s Council Nguyen Thi Bich Ngoc pointed to existing problems in the city that need to be addressed, including lower growth in some sectors compared to last year, the low ranking in the Provincial Governance and Public Administration Performance Index (PAPI), and the slow disbursement of capital construction investment. 

The People’s Council session, which will last until July 10, is held to review the city’s socio-economic performance and security-defence situation in the past six months. The Council will also set key tasks and solutions for the remaining months of the year for the fulfilment of yearly targets.

The council will spend one day on July 9 to question the municipal government on their work and issues of public interest.

The council is scheduled to consider and approve 10 reports and a regular resolution, along with 14 thematic resolutions concerning the city’s development and personnel matters.
