Chairman Man commended Can Tho, alongside Hau Giang and Soc Trang provinces, for their proactive and meticulous approach to the administrative overhaul. “This process has been urgent, serious, and deeply responsible,” he said, noting its alignment with the Party Central Committee’s guidelines. “It’s methodical, scientifically grounded, and has earned widespread support from officials, Party members, and the public.”

Looking ahead, he urged Can Tho to double down on preparations for the upcoming Party Congresses at all levels, including drafting documents that tackle key issues and outline a bold roadmap to propel the city forward. Particular attention must be paid to building a contingent of officials who are honest, skilled, and bold enough to steer this transformation, he stressed.

He demanded swift action to set working rules for the municipal Party Committee, People’s Council, and People’s Committee.

The N.A. Chairman further instructed local authorities to fully and swiftly realize conclusions from the Politburo, the Party Central Committee and its Secretariat, the N.A., and the Government. He proposed weekly reviews by the municipal Party Committee’s standing board to keep the new governance model on track and address challenges swiftly.

A strong push for digital transformation was another priority, with Man advocating for rapid adoption of digital tools, information technology, and artificial intelligence in public administration. He called for a robust rollout of the “Digital Literacy for All” movement, directed by Party General Secretary To Lam, to keep public services seamless and efficient under the new system.

He stressed the need to pump funds into revamping public office buildings to back the restructured units.

Earlier in the afternoon, he visited the Can Tho Public Administration Centre, a ward-level center in Ninh Kieu, the Thanh Hoa commune-level center (formerly part of Hau Giang’s Phung Hiep district), and the Phu Loi ward-level center (previously in Soc Trang province) to see up close how they are serving citizens and businesses.
