He also extended his best wishes for good health to the former State President and all members of the delegation.
Briefing the former State President on the development of the City, Secretary of Hue City Party Committee Nguyen Dinh Trung said that, since January 1, 2025, Hue has officially become a centrally governed municipality, opening up new development opportunities and space. As a heritage city, Hue has received attention from the central government, along with mechanisms and policies designed to help the city fully leverage its potential and advantages.

Following a period of implementation, the two-tier local government model has gradually stabilized, with operations becoming increasingly systematic and effective. Socio-economic development has shown positive progress, with trade and services continuing to play an important role, while greater attention is being given to industrial development.
One of the key development orientations is to promote cultural industries and the heritage economy, turning cultural and historical values into resources for development. The city is currently developing a proposal for heritage economy development, which has received attention and support from the Ministry of Culture, Sports, and Tourism. The initiative aims to establish appropriate models for harnessing heritage resources, while preserving and promoting their values and generating new growth momentum.
Mr. Nguyen Dinh Trung also outlined the city’s strengths in culture, education, and healthcare. The healthcare sector, in particular, continues to strengthen its position as a regional center for specialized medical services, while accelerating the transfer of advanced medical techniques from leading hospitals. Poverty reduction programs are being carried out in phases, alongside investment in inter-level schools in communes formerly under A Luoi District.

Speaking at the meeting, former State President Nguyen Minh Triet expressed his pleasure at Hue’s development, particularly its position as a centrally governed municipality. He noted that this marks an important opportunity for Hue to expand its development space, capitalize on its potential and advantages, and achieve stronger growth.
Closely following developments of the city, former State President Nguyen Minh Triet commended the efforts of Hue Party Committee, authorities, and people in consolidating the organizational structure, operating the two-tier local government model, and promoting socio-economic development. He emphasized that development in any locality must be rooted in its internal strengths and its capacity for self-reliance. To generate strong momentum for growth, it is essential to build connections, mobilize collective strength, promote solidarity, and unity in leadership and direction, and foster broad consensus between the authorities and the people.
According to the former State President, Hue has a distinctive position and identity as the former imperial capital rich in cultural and historical heritage. The key challenge is how to turn these values and advantages into drivers of development. Alongside promoting its internal strengths, the city needs to make the most of attention and support from the central government, while securing additional appropriate mechanisms, policies, and resources to provide a new drive for growth.

The former State President expressed his confidence that, building on its tradition of solidarity, existing potential and advantages, and the central government’s continued support, Hue would achieve major breakthroughs in the coming years.
Expressing his appreciation for the valuable and heartfelt opinions of the former State President Nguyen Minh Triet, Mr. Nguyen Dinh Trung, Secretary of Hue City Party Committee, affirmed that the city’s Party, authorities, and people would continue to uphold solidarity and unity, make effective use of their potential and advantages, and strive to fulfil the development goals, working towards a more prosperous and civilized Hue City.
