Reporting at the event, Mr. Bui Van Phuc said that in the 2015-2020 term, the district focused on an economic restructuring program to improve the business climate.

The Party Committee also identified 23 criteria for the 2020-2025 term and 2 key programs on reducing flood and traffic accidents.

He recognized and hailed the achievements that District 2 made over the past term, while proposing that the district should add indicators on labor productivity to goals, directions and missions of the district in the 2020-2025 term.

For the upcoming missions, he asked District 2 and other units to develop the creative urban area into a nucleus of the city. In addition, the district should update urban planning in order to avoid breaking due to spontaneous investment./.
