HCM City (VNA)🧸 – Ho Chi Minh City needs a particular mechanism in order to fulfil its role as an economic locomotive of the country, Politburo member and Secretary of the municipal Party Committee Dinh La Thang has said.
Thang made the request at a five-hour working session with Prime Minister Nguyen Xuan Phuc in the city on June 27, adding that such a mechanism should be implemented on a trial basis and improved during the process.
Chairman of the municipal People’s Committee Nguyen Thanh Phong asked the Prime Minister to allow HCM City greater decision making power in seven aspects with a view to facilitating the city’s rapid and sustainable development.
He asked for more authority in issuing legal documents to regulate some sectors and fields in accordance with the city’s situation, including the collection of a number of types of fees, the pilot administrative fines on certain violations of social order and safety, and the number of local officials and civil servants.
The city also wants its police force to enjoy a specific mechanism on staff number, investment in mechanism and technical means and welfare policies to match the scale and importance of their work in the city.
Besides, Ho Chi Minh City hoped the PM will allow it to keep 23 percent of its budget revenue under the current financial mechanism for the next 10 years as from 2017.
Prime Minister Nguyen Xuan Phuc hailed the comprehensive achievements that the city has gained over the past time and permitted the city to continue piloting its own measures to deal with newly-arising issues.
He also urged local authorities to proactively work with centrally-run ministries and agencies to build a project in the field for submission to the Government.-VNA

He also pledged that the NA will promote its ongoing supervision, making sure that every promise must lead to results, and every commitment must bring about real changes.
Minister of Industry and Trade Nguyen Hong Dien welcomed the proposals put forward by the US side and reiterated Vietnam’s request for consideration of key areas of interest, including reciprocal tariff policies and access for Vietnamese key export products to the US market.
Deputy PM Le Thanh Long proposed countries promote shared values, including building trust, sincerity, and solidarity among nations and peoples; fostering cooperation spirit and responsible behaviour as well as upholding international law and the UN Charter; and placing people at the centre and as the goal, the key player, and the driving force of all policies.
The show, together with a grand parade to be held silmutaneously at Ba Dinh Square in Hanoi, will celebrate the 80th anniversary of the August Revolution, the National Day, and the General Staff of the Vietnam People’s Army (VPA).

Addressing concerns over university education spending, Son explained that as public universities gain greater autonomy, the Ministry of Finance has scaled back recurrent state funding. “Over the past decade, as autonomy has increased, the State's support has steadily declined”, he noted
Lao Minister of Foreign Affairs Thongsavanh Phomvihane affirmed that the presence of Vietnamese press offices in Laos vividly demonstrates the great friendship, special solidarity, and comprehensive cooperation between the two nations, as the press is not only a means of communication but also an important bridge for spreading consciousness about the history, values, and strategic depth of the Laos – Vietnam relationship to the people of both countries and the international community.
The country is willing to participate in collective efforts to promote cooperation and mobilise resources to advance the current priority issues of developing countries, such as trade, investment, infrastructure connectivity, making the most of scientific and technological advances for development, and people-to-people exchanges, Hang said.
During the negotiations, the US highly evaluated Vietnam’s goodwill and efforts, affirmed its appreciation for the bilateral relationship, acknowledged Vietnam’s proposals and concerns, and considered these an important basis for continuing discussions and moving towards a final agreement.
The Chairman stressed the need for stricter fiscal discipline, faster digital transformation, and more efficient management of State budget revenues and expenditures.
The ministry has instructed Vietnamese representative agencies in Israel, Iran, as well as those in neighbouring countries, to closely monitor the situation and request local authorities to ensure absolute safety for Vietnamese citizens living, studying, and working in high-risk areas.
