creating momentum for Hanoi to accelerate development

Hanoi - the heart of the country

Hanoi has the position and role as the capital of the whole country. Hanoi is not only the center of political, economic, cultural and educational activities but also a symbol of the development of solidarity and prosperity of the country and is considered the heart of the whole country, where all important aspects of life converge and spread throughout the country.

The amended Law on the Capital is expected to create momentum for Hanoi to accelerate its development.

In Resolution No. 15-NQ/TW dated May 5, 2022 of the Politburo on the direction and tasks of developing Hanoi Capital by 2030, with a vision to 2045, it has determined the goal that by 2030, Hanoi Capital will be a "Cultured - Civilized - Modern" city, becoming the center and driving force for the development of the Red River Delta, the key economic region of the North and the whole country. Deeply integrating internationally, having high competitiveness with the region and the world, striving to develop on par with the capitals of developed countries in the region.

In terms of vision to 2045, Hanoi Capital will be a globally connected city with a high standard of living and quality of life, with GRDP/capita reaching over 36,000 USD; comprehensive, unique and harmonious economic, cultural and social development; typical of the whole country; with a development level on par with the capitals of developed countries in the region and the world.

To achieve the above goal, truly special mechanisms are needed to create momentum for Hanoi to accelerate its development. That is set out in the Draft Law on the Capital (amended), which is being considered and approved by the National Assembly at the 7th Session of the 15th National Assembly this morning (June 28). Along with the Draft Law on the Capital (amended), the Hanoi Capital Planning for the period 2021-2030, with a vision to 2050, and the Adjustment of the Hanoi Capital Master Plan to 2045, with a vision to 2065, were also submitted to the National Assembly for comments at the 7th Session.

Opportunity for the Capital to develop rapidly and sustainably

When the Law on the Capital (amended) is passed by the National Assembly, it will contribute to a new step of development for the capital of a country with over 100 million people.

Considered a decentralization and delegation law, the Draft Law on the Capital (amended) submitted to the National Assembly for approval has fully institutionalized the specific mechanism for the Capital to make a breakthrough; has a clear decentralization and delegation mechanism, assigning responsibilities and giving more powers to Hanoi city to have the authority to decide on issues related to special conditions. The provisions have been specified in more detail in the content of assigning responsibilities and powers to the Capital in the direction of priority application in the legal system.

According to delegate Hoang Van Cuong (National Assembly Delegation of Hanoi), the Capital Law (amended) must have mechanisms and regulations to attract the best conditions and quintessence of the whole country to the Capital, to create a representative image for the whole country. The Draft Law has basically been completed well, especially the spirit of decentralization, empowerment and responsibility for Hanoi, which must carry out missions to create outstanding breakthroughs in development.

 

According to Vice Chairman of the National Assembly Nguyen Khac Dinh, the Draft Law on the Capital (amended) is a separate law regulating the capital Hanoi, which is both the administrative capital and a special urban area of ​​the whole country. The draft law submitted to the National Assembly for approval has stipulated separate mechanisms, special incentives, and is especially superior compared to the current legal system; at the same time, it is also the regulations assigning great responsibility to Hanoi in the construction, development, management and protection of the capital. The separate, special, outstanding, priority mechanisms, policies and accompanying responsibilities are appropriate to the position and especially important role of the capital.

Sharing the same view, delegate Truong Xuan Cu (National Assembly Delegation of Hanoi) said that the Draft Law on the Capital (amended) has been carefully studied, and National Assembly delegates have contributed their opinions very responsibly. The National Assembly's approval of the Law will create a legal basis for the Capital to develop rapidly and sustainably, with the expectation that Hanoi will enter a "new era".

“The capital is the political, economic and cultural center of the whole country. In terms of administration, the capital has a unique and special character. Because the capital is not just Hanoi, this revised Law project will create a breakthrough for Hanoi to develop rapidly, as well as create development momentum for the whole country,” said delegate Truong Xuan Cu.

According to delegate Truong Xuan Cu, to achieve this goal, policies must be innovative and specific, so that the development of the capital will not encounter barriers in administrative procedures. The amended Capital Law helps ensure that Hanoi develops in accordance with the law but still has its own specific characteristics.

"I hope that after the Law on the Capital (amended) is passed by the National Assembly, it will quickly come into effect, at which time the opportunity for the Capital to develop quickly and sustainably will be very feasible" - delegate Truong Xuan Cu expressed.

Meanwhile, Vice Chairman of the National Assembly's Law Committee Nguyen Phuong Thuy said that the amended Law on the Capital has focused on removing the limitations that Hanoi has been facing in recent times, such as resource mobilization, investment, planning, policies for developing culture, education, health, and social security sectors... In particular, there are strong solutions to help the city overcome current shortcomings in landscape, urban construction, traffic, and environmental pollution.

The Draft Law on the Capital (amended) was first discussed at the 6th Session of the 15th National Assembly, with 115 comments discussed in groups and halls, and 7 comments in writing. At the 7th Session, the National Assembly discussed the Draft Law on the Capital (amended) for the second time in the hall with 26 comments spoken and 5 comments in writing.

From the discussion sessions, it can be seen that the National Assembly deputies highly appreciated the quality of the preparation of the dossier and documents of the draft law submitted to the National Assembly. At the same time, the National Assembly deputies deeply analyzed and clarified many contents, specifically proposed to continue researching and adjusting a number of articles and specific provisions in the draft law to ensure feasibility, improve quality and efficiency in law enforcement, ensure specificity, superiority and breakthrough in policies, create motivation to build and develop the capital of the whole country, worthy of the new stage.
