Provincial Administration Directs Paradigm Shift from “Management” to “Governance”

On the morning of June 5, Mr. Tran Duy Dong—Alternate Member of the Central Party Committee, Deputy Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee, and Governor of the Provincial People’s Committee—chaired the May 2026 Provincial Administrative Conference. The high-level session was attended by Vice Governors of the Provincial People’s Committee, leaders of the Standing Board of the Provincial People’s Council, the Vietnam Fatherland Front provincial chapter, the Standing Board of the Provincial Government’s Party Committee, and executive directors from line departments, agencies, and municipalities.

Provincial Governor Tran Duy Dong chairs the high-level executive administrative conference.

During the panel debate, delegates collectively evaluated that the province’s socio-economic landscape throughout May and the first five months of 2026 sustained a highly positive growth trajectory, heavily driven by timely, responsive bottleneck-clearing interventions. Multiple core economic indicators struck exceptional breakthrough velocities compared to the previous year. Notably, the Index of Industrial Production (IIP) advanced by 2.07% month-on-month and surged 18.47% year-on-year, driving the aggregate 5-month IIP expansion to an estimated 24.7% over the same period last year. Total retail sales of goods and consumer service revenues touched 13.3 trillion VND in May (up 16.1% year-on-year), pushing the cumulative 5-month baseline to 63.8 trillion VND, a 14% increase year-on-year. Export turnover over the first five months registered an estimated 19.1 billion USD, satisfying 48.23% of the annualized target. Total state budget collection on-site through the end of May 2026 reached approximately 30.7 trillion VND, equivalent to 55% of the central government’s mandate and 52.8% of the target assigned by the Provincial People’s Council.

Throughout the first five months of 2026, foreign direct investment (FDI) attraction recorded over 1.3 billion USD, skyrocketing nearly 3.6-fold year-on-year and securing 82% of the full-year 2026 master plan. Concurrently, domestic direct investment (DDI) touched over 15.4 trillion VND, equivalent to 28.8% of the same period last year and representing 17.8% of the annualized plan.

During the session, Vice Governors of the Provincial People’s Committee delivered keynote speeches, mapping out strategic interventions to dismantle developmental bottlenecks for various sectors and municipalities.

The business and investment climate exhibited strong vitality, highlighted by 2,300 newly established enterprises—marking a 39.3% surge in volume and a 60% leap in registered capital pool, which crossed 26.2 trillion VND. Notably, 600 businesses officially resumed operations, powerfully validating market confidence in the province’s pro-business commitments. Concurrently, cultural-social programs were efficiently maintained, while national defense, security, and public social order were strictly fortified across the jurisdiction.

The Director of the Department of Finance presented a comprehensive audit on the execution of the macroeconomic growth blueprint and public capital disbursement velocities over the first five months.

With an iron spirit of transparency and high accountability, delegates directly analyzed active bottlenecks slowing down the developmental pace. Discussions focused heavily on accelerating public capital disbursement at flagship infrastructure works, building absolute liquidation schemes for prolonged legacy projects, executing corrective measures in compliance with the Central Inspection Commission’s findings, sharpening administrative performance indexes (PAR INDEX and SIPAS), and finalizing plans to restructure and rename local villages and residential blocks. Delivering his executive conclusion, the Provincial Governor highly commended the proactive drive of all sectors and tiers. However, to structurally concrete the double-digit growth scenario amidst shifting global parameters, he demanded that department heads and municipal authorities aggressively overhaul their operational methodologies, embedding themselves in field realities to eliminate grievances directly.

The Governor demanded that the entire administrative apparatus execute a powerful paradigm shift from passive ’management“to proactive”governance'—utilizing tangible outputs and real-world efficiency as the definitive yardstick to measure the leadership and executive capacity of agency heads.

To conquer the strategic mandates of the second quarter and the complete fiscal year of 2026, specifically targeting a Q2 GRDP growth rate exceeding 11% to secure a solid first-half expansion breaking past 10.2%, the Chairman ordered all line departments, sectors, units, and municipalities to focus all available solutions to hit sector-specific targets. In detail, the industrial sector must reach a growth velocity of 14.9%, the construction sector must hit 14.2%, service industries must expand by over 9%, and agriculture must lock in a stable baseline of 3.4%.

Concurrently, local authorities must fiercely eliminate bottlenecks surrounding land acquisition compensation and the exploitation of construction mineral mines. The province remains unyielding in its target to disburse 100% of the annualized public capital plan, while aggressively accelerating timelines to transition 25 to 30 fresh manufacturing plants into commercial operations within the second quarter. Furthermore, the administration ordered the rapid finalization of procedures to approve 13 key projects before June 20, and wrap up contractor selection processes for 36 newly initiated construction projects before August 30, while systematically clearing backlogged projects.

The Governor directed line departments and municipal authorities to work in seamless alignment with institutional investors to perfectly prepare all site conditions, priming a mass groundbreaking campaign for a series of high-profile mega-projects right within June 2026. Flagship investments include: the Semiconductor Component Project by Meiko Group, the Doan Hung Industrial Zone developed by Amata Group, the Smart Data Infrastructure and Inter-school Campus Complex by FPT Group, alongside large-scale social housing developments.

In tandem with economic drives, the administration demanded a flawless, absolutely secure organization of the 2026 National High School Graduation Examination, alongside the instant deployment of the state-funded free healthcare screening program for citizens, directly executing the humanistic spirit anchored within the Provincial People’s Council’s Resolution No. 72/NQ-HĐND. Finally, in preparation for the 2026 Mid-Year Regular Session of the Provincial People’s Council (2026–2031 tenure), the Chairman directed all line sectors to meticulously audit all draft submissions and regulatory reports, ensuring the highest echelon of quality, legal conformity, and schedule compliance before presentation to the legislative assembly.
