Speaking at the session, Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee Tran Huy Tuan acknowledged and spoke highly the outstanding achievements made by the Party Organisation, administration, business community and local people in the first six month of 2026.

Amid the context of difficulties and challenges, Ninh Binh’s economy continued to maintain positive growth momentum with many important targets reached, thus creating favourable conditions for the province to realise the growth targets set for the whole tenure, he said.

Tuan also frankly pointed out some shortcomings, such as the slow progress of land clearance for some projects; the disbursement rate of public investment capital and land use fee collection not meeting requirements; the quality of cadres in some localities is uneven; and digital infrastructure and databases in some areas do not meet development requirements.

Emphasising that 2026 is the first year of implementing the Resolution of the 14th National Party Congress, the official stated that the central task in the remaining months of the year is to focus on decisive leadership and direction to complete and exceed the set socio-economic development targets, creating a foundation for the successful achievement of the goals of the term.

He requested the Provincial People's Council, its members, administrations at all levels and sectors, the business community, and the people of Ninh Binh to continue to thoroughly understand and decisively implement the resolutions and conclusions of the central authorities and the province; and to steadfastly pursue the goal of double-digit economic growth.

Simultaneously, it is a must to focus on accelerating the disbursement of public investment capital, collecting state budget revenue, improving the investment and business environment, developing the private economy, promoting digital transformation, enhancing the effectiveness and efficiency of local administrations at both levels; taking good care of the fields of culture, society, education, health, ensuring national defence, security and social order and safety, he noted.
