Editor's note: The name "Quang Nam" continues to be nurtured, embellished and positioned with new values of historical significance over half a century of building the homeland since the country's reunification. The lessons learned, the great achievements, and the milestones of development are the pride, confidence and solid provisions for the land and people of Quang Nam to be ready to embark on a new journey with new aspirations, in harmony with the great aspirations of the country in the era of "the rise of the Vietnamese people", under the leadership of the Party. On the occasion of welcoming the New Year - At Ty 2025 and commemorating the 95th anniversary of the Party's founding (February 3), Alternate member of the Party Central Committee, Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee Luong Nguyen Minh Triet, gave Quang Nam Newspaper an interview about the development of Quang Nam, especially the important orientations in the new period.
A YEAR OF OVERCOMING DIFFICULTIES IN QUANG NAM
* Dear Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee, from the beginning of 2024, the Provincial Party Committee has assessed that Quang Nam is facing more difficulties and challenges than advantages. Regarding local work in that context; up to now, in your opinion, what outstanding results has Quang Nam achieved over the past year? What issue are you most satisfied with?
SECRETARY OF THE PROVINCIAL PARTY COMMITTEE LUONG NGUYEN MINH TRIET:
I was assigned to work in Quang Nam in early 2024. At this time, the Provincial Party Committee and many retired cadres all agreed that we were facing more difficulties and challenges than advantages. In that context, since the beginning of the year, the entire political system of the province has focused on implementing a huge amount of work, many of which are complicated and very difficult. Looking back now, there are indeed many emotions.
The first and most exciting is the spirit of solidarity, consensus and unity of cadres, party members and people of the whole province. It must be said that the more difficult and challenging the situation is, the more Quang Nam people promote the tradition of solidarity and unity. The clearest proof is in the work of cadres. From the beginning of 2024 to now, Quang Nam has resolutely implemented the consolidation and improvement of the cadre team at all levels of the province; most of the cadres introduced for candidacy, appointment and transfer have received very high consensus from all levels, sectors, agencies, units and cadres and party members. The implementation of the arrangement of administrative units at district and commune levels has also been focused on, urgently, synchronously, smoothly and has been supported by the people.
Most notably, many long-standing problems and inadequacies in the province's economic and social fields have been initially resolved, cleared up, and more specific and clear solutions and approaches have been provided. The good news is that the province's economy has stopped the negative growth momentum of 2023 and extended to the first quarter of 2024; GRDP growth last year reached about 7.1%, total state budget revenue reached more than 27.7 trillion VND (exceeding 20.14% of the central government's estimate); tourism accelerated strongly; people's lives continued to improve, the number of poor households decreased by more than 4,171 households compared to 2023, bringing the poverty rate of the whole province by the end of 2024 to 4.61% (down 0.96% compared to 2023). In addition, the province also focused on directing the drastic removal of difficulties and bottlenecks in many key projects of the province, both public and private investment; implementing many solutions to support business development, promote production and business; and promoting the implementation of national target programs in the province. By the end of 2024, public investment capital was disbursed about VND 8,141 billion, reaching 90% of the plan.
2024 is also the year when many commemorative events, festivals, cultural, sports and creative start-up activities take place enthusiastically and widely in all localities, creating an exciting atmosphere among the people. Culture, health care and education receive more investment. Despite difficult conditions, the province has also exempted tuition fees for high school students at all levels from the 2024-2025 school year. In particular, the Provincial Party Committee has focused on directing the synchronous implementation of the program to eliminate temporary and dilapidated houses in the province, with the basic goal of completing support for the construction and renovation of more than 10,945 houses for households with meritorious services, relatives of martyrs and poor and near-poor households. To date, the total number of houses that have started construction, completed construction and repaired is 4,410. With resources allocated from the budget and social mobilization, we are confident that we will complete this meaningful program in 2025, celebrating the 50th anniversary of the Liberation of our homeland.
FOCUSING ALL EFFORT ON REALIZING PROVINCIAL PLANNING
* Dear comrade! The goals, targets, tasks and solutions set out in the Provincial Planning to 2030 cover many areas, with a huge amount of work and many difficult issues. While there are only 6 years left to realize. According to you, in the coming time, what key points and breakthroughs need to be selected to implement in order to create a strong change for Quang Nam?
SECRETARY OF THE PROVINCIAL PARTY COMMITTEE LUONG NGUYEN MINH TRIET:
The implementation of the tasks and solutions identified in the Provincial Planning from now until 2030 includes a huge amount of work, many difficult and complicated issues. Recently, we have organized many scientific seminars to discuss solutions to realize the Provincial Planning and Quang Nam has also completed the plan for implementation. From now until 2030, there are only 6 years left; meanwhile, just finding a source of capital of more than 630 trillion VND for development investment is a huge challenge, because the budget capital that can be mobilized is only about 15%.
It is very difficult and not really effective to deploy tasks and solutions to implement the Provincial Planning in a scattered, fragmented manner, taking on many tasks at the same time. In my opinion, in the coming years, it is necessary to select key tasks, works, and projects that have elements that create a foundation, premise, and breakthrough to carry out the mission of "spreading and leading" for the goal of accelerating development but must be sustainable.
The immediate task is to urgently complete the regional planning system, urban-rural planning, adjust the general planning of Chu Lai Open Economic Zone and detailed planning of functional sub-zones; with good planning, we will attract social investment resources. Second, we are promoting administrative reform, improving the investment environment, digital transformation and human resource development. Third, we are actively researching, maximizing the support of the Government and coordinating with central ministries and branches to soon invest in Chu Lai International Airport, Quang Nam seaport associated with logistics centers; forming national supporting industry and auto mechanics centers, silica deep processing centers, medicinal industry centers with Ngoc Linh ginseng as the main force, high-tech agricultural-industrial centers, and tourism centers according to the Provincial Planning. Fourth, we are promoting investment in building strategic infrastructure, including high-speed railways through Quang Nam, national highways, provincial roads connecting regions, areas and digital infrastructure. Besides renewing traditional growth drivers, we must strive to create new growth drivers for Quang Nam to accelerate and achieve the goal of becoming a well-off province in the country by 2030.
In that context, to realize the development goals of Quang Nam by 2030 to become a well-off province of the country, in addition to making the most of the leadership, direction and support from the Central Government, the tradition of solidarity, will, courage, spirit of overcoming difficulties, creativity and development aspirations of cadres, party members and people of all walks of life in the province must be strongly promoted, first of all in the political system from the province to the grassroots. Each cadre, party member, civil servant and public employee must truly dare to think, dare to speak, dare to do, dare to take responsibility, dare to face difficulties and challenges, dare to act for the common good. We must promote the highest sense of responsibility to the people, "say no" to the situation of pushing, avoiding, fearing responsibility, and fearing conflict in the performance of public duties.
* The Provincial Party Committee's Resolution on directions and tasks for 2025 sets a target of 9.5-10% growth in gross regional domestic product (GRDP). Is this a big challenge, comrade?
SECRETARY OF THE PROVINCIAL PARTY COMMITTEE LUONG NGUYEN MINH TRIET:
That's right! But to create a breakthrough, in line with the common development goals and aspirations of the whole country as directed by General Secretary To Lam, we must act resolutely, strive to achieve a GRDP growth rate of 9.5 - 10% in 2025, creating momentum and premise to achieve an average annual double-digit growth rate in the period 2026 - 2030. The Provincial Party Committee has set out 8 groups of tasks and specific and comprehensive solutions. First of all, it is necessary to strengthen the work of Party building and the political system, resolutely carry out the arrangement, streamlining of the apparatus and streamlining of staff, associated with doing a good job of ideological work in the entire Party Committee, promulgating and implementing the Project "propaganda, spreading positive information among cadres, party members, civil servants, public employees and people in the province in the period 2025-2030" to maximize the resources and strength of the entire people in the common development.
In the economic field, the Provincial Party Committee focuses on directing the acceleration of growth model transformation, improving productivity, quality, efficiency, autonomy, adaptability, and competitiveness of the economy. Resolutely deploy the plan to implement the Provincial Planning for the period 2021-2030, with a vision to 2050; in which, quickly complete the master plans and zoning plans, associated with promoting the call for and attraction of investment in large projects, to create a spillover momentum; deploy public investment projects, administrative reform, improve the investment environment, facilitate production and business. Continue to promote the implementation of three strategic breakthrough tasks identified in the Resolution of the 22nd Provincial Party Congress.
The general spirit is that the whole province must make the greatest efforts, have the strongest determination and take the most drastic and effective actions to achieve the growth target in 2025. Difficulties and challenges are huge, but we still have many opportunities and room to promote growth and can achieve the target of approaching double-digit GRDP growth in 2025.
PROMOTING QUANG NAM'S CULTURAL AND HUMAN RESOURCES
* The year 2025 marks the half-century anniversary of healing the wounds of war and rebuilding the homeland after the country's reunification. Looking back on the past, especially after 40 years of renovation and 28 years of re-establishing the province, Quang Nam has achieved many achievements and many proud development milestones. Could you please tell us some outstanding lessons that need to be summarized? Especially lessons from the leadership role of the Party, the tradition of patriotism, solidarity, revolutionary spirit, the will to overcome difficulties and creativity of the people of Quang Nam?
SECRETARY OF THE PROVINCIAL PARTY COMMITTEE LUONG NGUYEN MINH TRIET:
The Party's leadership is the decisive factor in all victories of the Vietnamese revolution. This is a lesson throughout the history of the nation since the Party's founding (February 3, 1930) to the present. Reaffirming this lesson on the occasion of the 95th anniversary of the Party's founding (February 3, 1930) and the 95th anniversary of the founding of the Quang Nam Provincial Party Committee (March 28, 1930), so that we can have more confidence and pride in the Party and also to see the mission and responsibility of the Provincial Party Committee and each cadre and Party member for the development of the homeland in the coming period.
At the scientific workshop on identifying and promoting cultural values and people of Quang Nam in the new period held in November 2024, to serve the preparation of documents for the 23rd Provincial Party Congress, term 2025-2030, scientists and researchers continued to summarize and affirm the characteristics of the personality of Quang Nam people such as: patriotism, solidarity, humanity, loyalty; straightforwardness, frankness, friendliness, diligence in doing good deeds; studiousness and good study, respect for talented people; bravery, resilience, dynamism, creativity; innovative thinking, renovation and integration;...
These precious traditions have always been nurtured and promoted through each stage of historical development. Especially, in the most difficult and challenging periods or times, the solidarity, will, courage and creativity of Quang people are even more prominent.
It can be demonstrated through many works, events, marks, and achievements of historical significance in the half century of building the homeland after the day of peace, such as: the policy of strictly protecting the ancient town of Hoi An, cultural and historical relics after the liberation day, so that we have two World Heritages, the ancient town of Hoi An and the My Son Temple Complex in 1999; the cooperative movement and the Phu Ninh irrigation project; Duy Son hydropower plant associated with the name of Labor Hero Luu Ban; the policy of transforming the economic structure, issuing open mechanisms to attract investment leading to the birth of Chu Lai Open Economic Zone, industrial parks and clusters. Thereby, Quang Nam from one of the poorest provinces in the country at the time of re-establishment of the province (in 1997) has broken through to become a fairly well-off province in the region, since 2017, the budget has been adjusted to the Central Government; Achievements in the movement of concreting traffic and building new rural areas;… These are valuable traditions that need to continue to be promoted.
STREAMLINED APPARATUS LINKED TO PERSONNEL PREPARATION FOR PARTY CONGRESSES AT ALL LEVELS
* One of the most important tasks of 2025 is to prepare and successfully organize Party congresses at all levels and the 23rd Provincial Party Congress. Could you please tell us some requirements for Party organizations and all levels, sectors and localities in preparing documents and personnel for the congress?
SECRETARY OF THE PROVINCIAL PARTY COMMITTEE LUONG NGUYEN MINH TRIET:
2025 is a year with many important events for the homeland and the country; the year of the Party Congresses at all levels and the 23rd Provincial Party Congress, leading up to the 14th National Party Congress, is also the year we are determined to carry out the revolution in streamlining the organizational apparatus in the spirit of streamlining - compactness - strength - efficiency - effectiveness - efficiency as directed by the Central Committee. Thoroughly implementing the direction and guidance of the Central Committee, the Provincial Party Committee, the Standing Committee of the Quang Nam Provincial Party Committee has focused on leading and directing the serious implementation, on schedule and ensuring the highest quality of the work of preparing and organizing Party Congresses at all levels in the province; especially important is the work of preparing personnel and documents for the congress.
To prepare documents for the 23rd Provincial Party Congress, the Provincial Party Standing Committee has recently directed the organization of 6 scientific seminars; the Congress Document Subcommittee has deployed 7 working delegations to survey and work with sectors; and directed the development of many thematic reports in various fields.
The requirement is to thoroughly and comprehensively summarize the results of the implementation of the Resolution of the 22nd Provincial Party Congress; to study, absorb and effectively apply the Central's thoughts, guiding viewpoints and orientations; to closely forecast the new context, situation, opportunities and challenges, especially to concretize the key contents of the Provincial Planning to determine the goals, targets, tasks and solutions for the 2025 - 2030 term to be submitted to the Provincial Party Congress. Party cells, grassroots party organizations and party committees directly under the Provincial Party Committee must also thoroughly grasp the spirit of seriously, qualitatively, elaborately and appropriately drafting congress documents, feasible for each agency, unit, locality and field.
Regarding personnel work, it is necessary to ensure the correct principles, requirements, standards, quality, structure, order, and procedures according to the directives and instructions of the Central Committee and higher-level Party committees. In particular, implementing the policy of the Party Central Committee, the Politburo, and the Secretariat on the revolution of streamlining the organizational apparatus of the political system, in the coming time, we will drastically deploy the arrangement and streamlining of departments, branches, and sectors in parallel with the preparation for organizing Party congresses at all levels. This is a difficult and complicated issue and will certainly give rise to many problems, requiring political determination, unified awareness and action throughout the province.
I believe and hope that, under the leadership of the Party, with the tradition of solidarity, patriotism and revolution; the spirit of overcoming difficulties, innovation and creativity, the entire political system and the people of the whole province will join hands and join hands to be ready to enter a new stage of development, breakthrough and acceleration for the prosperity and beauty of the heroic homeland of Quang Nam.
*Sincerely thank you, Provincial Party Secretary!
