Quoting Mr. Pham Duc Tien, Permanent Deputy Secretary of the City Party Committee and Chairman of Hue City People’s Council, the article underscores that ‘The success of the session will only be meaningful if every resolution is translated into concrete action and every commitment made in the council convention is delivered through tangible outcomes. It will also serve as a benchmark for the responsibility and effectiveness of government at all levels as Hue strives to become a fast-growing, sustainable city worthy of its status as a centrally governed municipality’.
On Page 3, the article “The All-Seeing Eye” by Thai Binh takes readers inside the ongoing “500-Day Campaign to Search for, Recover, and Identify the Remains of Fallen Soldiers” in Hue. By combining the recollections of historical witnesses with ground-penetrating radar technology, the campaign has introduced a new approach to the search effort. Promising signals detected near the Chanh Tay Gate and several locations within Hue Imperial Citadel have renewed hopes of bringing the fallen heroes home to their families and comrades, while underscoring the profound humanitarian significance of showing gratitude and repaying kindness to those who sacrificed for the nation.
On Page 4, under the title ‘Prioritizing the Repurposing of Surplus Public Properties and Land Sites’, Hoang Anh’s article examines the city’s efforts to deal with 542 surplus public buildings and land sites awaiting reorganization and disposal. In addition to highlighting challenges related to planning, legal procedures, and investment attraction, the article outlines a strategy that prioritizes repurposing these properties for more effective use, while combining auctions, leasing, and calls for investment to prevent public assets from lying idle and unlock additional resources for development.
