Ho Chi Minh City sets out 30 development targets and 3 key, breakthrough programs.

The Resolution of the Ho Chi Minh City Party Congress sets out 30 development targets, notably an average GRDP growth rate of 10-11%/year; total average social investment capital in 5 years reaching 35-40% of GRDP.

On October 15, the 1st Congress of Ho Chi Minh City Party Committee, term 2025-2030, held its closing session.

In his closing speech, Secretary of the Party Central Committee and Secretary of the Ho Chi Minh City Party Committee Tran Luu Quang said that the Congress focused on discussing documents and adopting the Congress Resolution - a Resolution that converges the will, aspirations and political determination of the entire Party Committee, government and people of Ho Chi Minh City in the new period with 30 main targets, 3 strategic breakthroughs and 10 key tasks and solutions.

According to comrade Tran Luu Quang, the greatest and most important result of the Congress is to achieve high unity in will, awareness and action; unity in comprehensively assessing the results of implementing the Resolution for the 2020-2025 term and objectively and frankly recognizing the limitations and shortcomings.

The Congress clearly defined the motto, goals, strategic orientation for the next 5 years and a longer-term vision, a new period of the City after the merger with the aspiration to reach regional level, integrate internationally, and develop rapidly and sustainably.

Along with the great achievements and opportunities, the City is also facing new difficulties and challenges. “Without high political determination and strong innovation in leadership thinking and leadership methods, it will be difficult to complete the great goals and tasks set out in the Congress Resolution,” said comrade Tran Luu Quang; at the same time, he said that the City’s greatest resource is not capital, not infrastructure, but people - dynamic people who dare to think, know how to do new things, and dare to take responsibility for the common good.

The Secretary of the Ho Chi Minh City Party Committee requested that it is necessary to clearly identify key tasks and strategic breakthroughs, focus resources, promote internal resources, take advantage of external resources, and avoid spreading and formality.

The city has strengthened inspection, supervision, urging, and removing difficulties, promoting initiatives and creativity at the grassroots level. Each cadre and party member has promoted the spirit of responsibility, pioneering and setting an example so that the Congress Resolution can truly come into life.

The Resolution of the City Party Congress sets out 30 development targets. Notably: Average GRDP growth rate of 10-11%/year. By 2030, GRDP per capita will reach about 14,000-15,000 USD; total average social investment capital in 5 years will reach 35-40% of GRDP; digital economy accounts for 30-40% of GRDP; allocate at least 4-5% of total annual budget expenditure for science, technology, and digital transformation.

The city aims to ensure at least 300 classrooms per 10,000 school-age people (from 3 to 18 years old) by 2030; the rate of workers with college or university degrees will reach at least 24% or more.

The rate of grassroots Party organizations that successfully complete their tasks the following year is higher than the previous year, reducing the rate of weak grassroots Party organizations to below 0.5%/year; 100% of Party organizations build and effectively implement digital transformation.
