Honest, responsible
In 2024, in a more difficult and challenging context, with a number of unexpected problems arising, most recently storm No. 3 (Yagi), Quang Ninh is one of the localities with the most severe damage, accounting for about 1/3 of the total damage of the whole country. The Provincial Party Committee, People's Council, and Provincial People's Committee have closely followed the direction of the Central Government, local practices, and the working theme of the year "Improving the quality of economic growth; developing culture and people rich in Quang Ninh identity", promoting the will of self-reliance, focusing on leadership, direction, mobilizing the combined strength of the entire political system, persevering and making efforts to overcome difficulties and challenges, maintaining political - economic - social stability, solidarity, unity of will and action, and the trust of people and businesses, achieving important results.

With the tradition of solidarity and unity, continuing to promote the advantages and results achieved in previous years, the province has persistently and made efforts to overcome difficulties and challenges and achieved positive results in all fields. The economy maintained its growth momentum, in which the service and tourism sectors in particular attracted 19 million visitors (3 million international visitors); budget revenue reached 55,600 billion VND, reaching 100% of the plan; total social security reached 1,897 billion VND, up 23% over the previous year; The National Target Program on New Rural Construction has achieved results. Binh Lieu is the first mountainous and border ethnic minority district in the country to meet the new rural standards. Tien Yen and Dam Ha are the first two districts in the country to meet the advanced new rural standards according to the criteria for the 2021-2025 period... Security and order are ensured, the number of crimes has decreased... Voters and people in the whole province highly appreciate the results the province has achieved in 2024.
Delegates frankly identified shortcomings and limitations that need to be addressed, such as: The effectiveness and efficiency of state management in some areas, especially land management, public investment, finance, budget... of some localities, departments and branches are still limited; the work of assigning sea areas according to the planning is still slow; 4/16 domestic budget revenue items are expected to not reach the average speed, of which land use fee collection has so far only reached 29% of the annual plan, greatly affecting resources allocated to public investment projects. The rate of public investment capital disbursement is very low, only reaching 48% of the capital plan; the prolonged capital disbursement only reached 33.4%; investment preparation, site clearance, and progress of implementation of some public investment projects are still slow and do not meet requirements. Investment preparation, settlement of sources of filling materials... for projects are slow to be overcome. FDI attraction has not met expectations...
Delegate Hoang Van Sinh, Chairman of Tien Yen District People's Committee, Discussion Group No. 2, said: Through studying the report and submission, I agree, especially with the existing limitations in 2024, such as the disbursement of public investment capital has not been as expected, stemming from a number of reasons due to investment preparation work, heavy rain, affecting transport infrastructure projects, especially the great impact of storm No. 3. Tien Yen district has so far collected 97% of the budget, and will strive to complete the set target in December...
Delegate Nguyen Minh Son, Director of the Department of Agriculture and Rural Development, Discussion Group No. 2, emphasized: One of the reasons for the slow disbursement of public investment capital is due to problems in converting forest use purposes, which takes a lot of time, due to the authority and the conversion subjects, even if it is fast, it takes 8 months. Therefore, in the process of developing public investment plans, assigning the list to departments, branches and localities to determine in order to develop land use plans associated with forest conversion plans is extremely important.
There are also some shortcomings in the cultural field: The issuance of the Autonomy Project for the 2024-2025 period for public service units under the Education sector is still slow; the restoration of the physical facilities of some educational institutions affected by storm No. 3 is slow; the re-recognition of national standard schools is still difficult; the situation of occupational accidents and child injuries is still complicated; the poverty reduction target has not been completed, the situation of workers withdrawing one-time social insurance benefits has increased; some contents of organizing the implementation of Resolution No. 17-NQ/TU are still slow, without specific results; some goals on digital transformation are low.

The rate of people participating in social insurance, including voluntary social insurance, has initially shown results, but the situation of people participating in voluntary social insurance withdrawing insurance at one time has increased. The situation of taking advantage of cyberspace to commit fraud has increased. In particular, the situation of investment and construction of cultural institutions at the grassroots level is still at a moderate level; the situation of degraded cultural houses in villages and areas, and substandard cultural houses in communes is still common...
Some delegates said that the situation of drug trading on social networks has developed widely; traffic safety violations, gathering to ride motorbikes in large groups, fighting, the rate of juvenile crime has increased by 17%; traffic accidents have increased in all three criteria compared to the same period; compliance with legal regulations on protecting state secrets and network security has the potential risk of revealing secrets, losing information system security...
