Binh Duong provincial People's Council of Term 10 concludes a significant chapter, embarking on a new journey
Yesterday afternoon (June 25), the People's Council of Binh Duong province, term 10 of 2021-2026, convened its 25th session (special session) to review and make decisions on numerous significant matters within its jurisdiction, ensuring the timely execution of socio-economic development tasks in accordance with practical requirements. Mr. Nguyen Van Loc, Standing Member and Chairman of the Provincial People's Council, presided over the session. Attendees included Mr. Nguyen Loc Ha, Standing Deputy Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee; Mr. Vo Van Minh, Deputy Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee and Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee, along with members of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee and former leaders of the Provincial People's Council from previous terms. This session marks the final gathering of the Provincial People's Council under the current governmental organizational structure, prior to the consolidation mandated by the Central Government's policy on the arrangement of provincial-level administrative units.
Numerous pressing matters are evaluated and resolved
The 25th session took place during a pivotal transition period for Binh Duong province, as it prepares to merge with Ho Chi Minh City and Ba Ria - Vung Tau province. With a heightened sense of urgency and responsibility, the delegates of the provincial People's Council concentrated on reviewing, discussing, and voting to adopt seven significant resolutions pertaining to budget, public investment, land, and urban management. These resolutions include critical measures to ensure the seamless functioning of the two-tier government apparatus starting July 1, 2025.

One of the notable resolutions passed was the approval of the list of land plots designated for the implementation of pilot projects under Resolution 171/2024/QH15 of the National Assembly, which pertains to the piloting of commercial housing projects through agreements for the acquisition of land use rights or the possession of such rights. This list comprises 201 land plots, encompassing a total area of approximately 983 hectares, including 36.8 hectares of rice land. The Provincial People's Committee has been tasked with the responsibility of organizing the public and transparent disclosure of this list on the electronic information portal, ensuring that only projects that fully adhere to legal regulations concerning land, planning, construction, and the environment are executed.
On this occasion, the Standing Committee of the Provincial People's Council wishes to extend our profound gratitude to the Standing Committee of the National Assembly, the Provincial Party Committee, the Provincial National Assembly Delegation, the Provincial People's Committee, the Provincial Vietnam Fatherland Front Committee, former provincial leaders from all periods, advisory agencies, the media, and especially the voters, who have consistently supported, engaged with, and offered valuable insights, contributing to the success of the Provincial People's Council throughout its term. |
Simultaneously, the province will disseminate approval notices for real estate business organizations to initiate pilot projects; disclose projects that fail to meet the stipulated conditions as per Decree No. 75/2025/ND-CP issued by the Government; and instruct the Department of Agriculture and Environment, along with relevant agencies, to execute procedures concerning land, housing, investment, construction, real estate operations, and other legal provisions pertinent to pilot projects, ensuring both timeliness and adherence to legal regulations. This approach aims to establish a transparent and robust legal framework that supports investors and fosters economic development.
During the meeting, the Provincial People's Council approved the adjustment of the investment policy for the BOT project aimed at upgrading and expanding National Highway 13, a crucial route of strategic importance for the socio-economic development of Binh Duong. The project will renovate and extend the highway from the Vinh Phu welcome gate to the intersection of Le Hong Phong street, covering over 15 kilometers. It will be upgraded to eight lanes, with the construction of overpasses at key intersections such as Binh Hoa, Huu Nghi, and Hoa Lan, along with a comprehensive drainage and lighting system. Additionally, the Phuoc Kien intersection and the segment from Huu Nghi intersection to Tu Do intersection will be included. The total investment is projected to be nearly 6,300 billion VND, with state capital participation accounting for approximately 65.4%, while investor and mobilized capital will represent 34.6% of the total adjusted investment. This project not only alleviates traffic congestion but also establishes the "technical framework" necessary for developing a civilized and modern urban area, thereby enhancing investment attraction in the locality and the Southern Key Economic Zone.
Another significant resolution that was passed involved the approval of the investment policy for the completion of the My Phuoc - Tan Van road under the BOT model. This initiative aims to create a cohesive infrastructure system in anticipation of the operational commencement of Ring Road 3 in 2026. The route will traverse several key localities in Binh Duong, including Di An, Thuan An, Thu Dau Mot, Ben Cat, and Bau Bang, extending approximately 64 kilometers. The total estimated investment exceeds 20,158 billion VND, with the State contributing over 8,000 billion VND, while the remainder will be sourced from private investors.
A strong sense of responsibility and broad consensus establish the foundation for success
During the session, Mr. Nguyen Van Loc, a member of the Standing Committee and Chairman of the Provincial People's Council, underscored that the resolutions adopted at the session received overwhelming consensus and unanimity from the delegates of the Provincial People's Council. This reflects the sense of responsibility, commitment, and intellect of each delegate, serving as a foundation for the swift realization of the resolutions. The Chairman urged the Provincial People's Committee to promptly operationalize and direct departments and branches to resolutely and effectively implement the adopted resolutions. Additionally, the Vietnam Fatherland Front Committees at all levels and socio-political organizations must enhance their information and outreach efforts to ensure that voters and the public are fully informed. The committees and delegates of the Provincial People's Council should continue to strengthen their supervisory and supportive roles, fostering consensus and unity throughout the implementation process.
In the solemn and poignant atmosphere of the final session, the 10th term of the Binh Duong Provincial People's Council reflected on a significant tenure. The success of the 25th session marked a crucial transitional phase prior to the merger of the Binh Duong Provincial People's Council with the Ho Chi Minh City People's Council and the Ba Ria - Vung Tau Provincial People's Council, thereby establishing a new organizational structure for the People's Council in accordance with the directives from the Central government.
Over the past five years, the Provincial People's Council has achieved numerous remarkable outcomes. The vivid and realistic imagery presented in the short film during the meeting effectively illustrated the process of innovation in activities, adaptability in organizing the meeting, accountability to voters, efficiency in oversight, and timely, practical decision-making. This success is attributed to the effective collaboration between the People's Council, the People's Committee, the Vietnam Fatherland Front Committee of the province, various sectors, and levels, as well as the unwavering contributions of each Provincial People's Council delegate. Despite managing multiple responsibilities, the delegates consistently demonstrate courage, wholeheartedly serve the voters, and apply their intellect to the province's overall development.
In just a few days, the new government model aims at enhancing streamlining, effectiveness, and efficiency will officially commence operations. Mr. Nguyen Van Loc expressed his confidence that, bolstered by a tradition of solidarity, practical experience, and support from the Central Government, along with the consensus of the populace, the new People's Council organization will swiftly stabilize and enhance its role in law-making, policy formulation, and the promotion of sustainable development. This represents not merely an organizational transition but also an opportunity for profound innovation in operational methods, improved supervisory effectiveness, and the elevation of the role of elected representatives.
“Together, we embark on our new journey with the aspiration to elevate and construct a smart, modern, humane, and joyful city,” Mr. Nguyen Van Loc expressed with emotion.
The 25th session (special session), marking the conclusion of the 10th term of the People's Council of Binh Duong province, was conducted successfully. In addition to fulfilling its role as a local state authority, the Provincial People's Council has made a significant impact on the hearts of voters and the populace throughout the province. While one journey has concluded, it has also paved the way for great expectations for the new People's Council organization, where intellect, courage, and aspirations for development continue to converge, contributing to the establishment of a new, expanded, civilized, modern, prosperous, and humane Ho Chi Minh City. |
