The State leader highly valued efforts by local people and authorities in the COVID-19 fight and social security ensuring, which has helped the city obtain fast recovery and return to normal after the pandemic.

Apart from achievements, HCM City is still facing numerous difficulties, so it needs to work harder to develop dynamically, comprehensively, and sustainably and care for the life of the 10 million residents, he added.

At the coming N.A. session, the parliament will consider some important projects such as Belt Road No.3 in HCM City and Belt Road No.4 in Hanoi. Lawmakers will also discuss some special mechanisms and policies for the southern economic hub, according to the President.

Meetings with voters are regular activities of N.A. deputies before and after each session of the legislature.
