They are carried out in appropriate forms, creating diversity and leveraging the intelligence, experience, and expertise of the units and individuals.

Concluding the conference, Deputy Secretary of the City Party Committee and Chairman of the City People's Council Nguyen Ngoc Tuan emphasized that, despite numerous difficulties and challenges, the City Party Committee, People's Council, People's Committee, and Vietnam Fatherland Front of Hanoi have effectively directed and managed various fields, achieving many outstanding results in socio-economic development – especially in economic growth, education and training, culture, and social welfare… The People's Councils at all levels of Hanoi have contributed to these overall results.
Regarding future tasks, Chairman of the Hanoi People's Council Nguyen Ngoc Tuan suggested that the People's Councils of districts, counties, and towns continue to spread the activities of elected bodies to communes, wards, and townships; and take advantage of the increased number of full-time People's Council representatives stipulated in the Capital City Law to operate even more effectively.
To implement the 2024 Capital City Law, the Hanoi People's Council, People's Committee, and Vietnam Fatherland Front Committee will review tasks within their authority to propose to the Central Government the early issuance of relevant documents. On the city's side, the People's Council will organize specialized sessions and issue individual resolutions to implement the Law. Therefore, the Chairman of the People's Council requests that departments and agencies advise on the delegated and authorized contents to ensure quality implementation. Districts, counties, and towns, according to their functions and duties, will carry out their work, and the Fatherland Front at the same level will develop a comprehensive plan related to social criticism.

Emphasizing that 2024 is a crucial year for accelerating the implementation of the resolutions of the City Party Congress, the Chairman of the City People's Council noted that People's Councils at all levels need to leverage their role as elected bodies, coordinating with the People's Committees and the Fatherland Front Committees at the same level to implement tasks in a substantive and innovative way.
Along with implementing and thoroughly understanding the Law on the Capital City, we will continue to review the objectives, targets, and tasks of the City Party Committee's Project No. 15-DA/TU on "Improving the capacity, effectiveness, and efficiency of the People's Councils at all levels in Hanoi City in the period 2021-2026, associated with the pilot implementation of the urban government model and strengthening rural government in Hanoi City" and Resolution No. 594/NQ-UBTVQH15 of the National Assembly guiding the supervisory activities of the People's Councils, Standing Committees of the People's Councils, People's Council delegate groups, and People's Council delegates to implement key tasks, organize specialized sessions, conduct supervision, and engage with voters.
