The inspection and working session focused on assessing leadership and direction in achieving the city’s GRDP growth targets for the last six months of 2026 and the 2026–2030 period. Key areas included the progress of budget collection and expenditure, disbursement of public investment capital, site clearance, and the review and resolution of difficulties and obstacles in order to accelerate the implementation of key projects in the area.

Vice Chairman of the Hai Phong People’s Committee Hoang Minh Cuong inspected the progress of the new Doan Ket Village residential area project in Hong Phong Commune, former Nam Sach District.

Reporting at the working session, local leaders said that they had closely followed the city’s growth scenario and achieved a number of positive results during the first eight months of the year.

In Tran Phu Commune, total state budget revenue collected in the locality as of August 30 exceeded VND 273.9 billion, equivalent to 111.97% of the annual estimate. Disbursement of public investment capital reached 69.9% and is expected to reach 83.3% by the end of the third quarter, exceeding the target assigned by the city.

In Nam An Phu Commune, total local budget revenue reached 340% of the estimate assigned by the city. Land management has been tightened, with the rate of issuance of residential land-use certificates reaching 85.49%, while the identification and registration of agricultural landowners reached 90%.

Thai Tan Commune has continued to maintain economic stability while placing a strong focus on disaster prevention and ensuring absolute safety along nearly 13 kilometers of Class I dikes along the Thai Binh River.

Vice Chairman of the Hai Phong People’s Committee Hoang Minh Cuong held a working session with the communes on the implementation of Resolution No. 11-NQ/TU.

Identifying site clearance as a key factor in accelerating investment disbursement, the communes are mobilizing resources to implement a number of major infrastructure projects.

Notably, the Hanoi–Quang Ninh high-speed railway project passing through Tran Phu Commune has a length of 6.55 km, requiring the recovery of more than 47.7 hectares of land and affecting 716 households and approximately 1,500 graves.

The local authorities have launched a 45-day-and-night intensive campaign. To date, more than VND 76.1 billion in compensation has been paid, equivalent to 26.8% of the allocated capital plan and far exceeding the initial committed target of 10%. The locality is also striving to achieve approximately 60% disbursement by September.

Meanwhile, Nam An Phu Commune has completed site clearance for the Trieu Bridge approach road and the corresponding resettlement area. It is now focusing on resolving the remaining obstacles at the Quang Thanh Residential Area and Thang Long Industrial Cluster.

Leaders of Tran Phu Commune reported at the working session.

Alongside the results achieved, leaders of the communes also reported specific difficulties that have slowed project implementation.

In particular, some investors in residential area projects have been slow to transfer funds for compensation, support, and resettlement, even though local authorities approved the compensation plans several months ago. This has created significant pressure on efforts to communicate with and mobilize local residents.

Other major obstacles include verifying the origins of land over different periods, resolving cases involving land allocations previously made without proper authority, relocating cemeteries in accordance with local customs and traditions, and securing sufficient, coordinated resettlement land for residents whose residential land is subject to acquisition. These issues require active coordination and resolution by the city’s departments and agencies.

Leaders of the Department of Industry and Trade discussed matters under their authority in response to recommendations from the local authorities.

Speaking at the working session, Vice Chairman Hoang Minh Cuong highly appreciated the efforts of the local authorities, noting that most economic and budget revenue targets had met or exceeded the planned growth scenario.

However, he emphasized that city leaders now manage and monitor operations entirely through a real-time digital data system. Therefore, Party Committee Secretaries and Chairpersons of the People’s Committees of the communes must directly monitor and closely follow the data on the system, ensuring that information is updated regularly and accurately and avoiding delays or inconsistencies with the city’s data.

Commune leaders should proactively coordinate closely with specialized departments and agencies to promptly resolve emerging difficulties rather than waiting until inspection sessions to report problems. They were also encouraged to demonstrate a spirit of daring to think, daring to act, and taking responsibility within the scope of their delegated authority.

Regarding industrial development and the management of industrial clusters, the Vice Chairman affirmed Hai Phong’s consistent policy of prioritizing the attraction of high-tech and clean industries, emphasizing that the city will not sacrifice the environment for economic growth.

The city plans to review and definitively address inefficient industrial clusters. Clusters without infrastructure investors or those no longer compatible with the new development planning framework will be considered for removal.

For currently operating industrial clusters, the city has instructed the Department of Natural Resources and Environment and the Department of Industry and Trade to strictly inspect compliance with environmental protection regulations, particularly centralized systems for the collection and treatment of wastewater and emissions.

Operations will be suspended for facilities that fail to meet regulatory standards. New or expanded industrial clusters must complete their environmental protection infrastructure before they are permitted to receive secondary investment projects.

Vice Chairman of the Hai Phong People’s Committee Hoang Minh Cuong delivered his concluding remarks.

Regarding site clearance and public investment disbursement, the Vice Chairman requested that local authorities continue to closely monitor the critical timelines for each project.

In areas where procedures and policies are already clear, grassroots authorities must resolutely communicate with and mobilize residents. In cases where individuals deliberately delay or refuse to cooperate, authorities should strengthen the relevant documentation and proceed with compulsory enforcement in accordance with the law, ensuring that overall project progress is not stalled.

For projects where investors are slow to allocate funds for compensation payments, the communes must issue written reminders accompanied by specific deadlines and commitments. If investors fail to comply, local authorities should report the situation and propose that the municipal People’s Committee take decisive action, including considering revoking projects and replacing them with more effective ones.

Relevant departments, boards, and agencies have been tasked with strengthening professional guidance and providing maximum support to commune-level authorities regarding land procedures, the resolution of petitions and complaints, completion of cemetery compensation, and acceleration of resettlement areas.

These measures are intended to ensure the achievement of Hai Phong’s socio-economic development objectives and GRDP growth target for 2026 across the city.
