Working with the municipal Party Committee, the Party leader stressed that all-level Party congresses leading up to the 11^th National Party Congress are important political activities for the whole Party, people and the army. 

He said preparations must be based on the spirit of strongly renovating methodology, improving the leadership capacity and combativeness power of Party organisations, promoting democracy and strengthening solidarity. 

In 2010, Hai Phong city’s Party Committee must well perform two major tasks--successfully organising Party congresses at all levels and fulfilling its socio-economic development targets, he said. 

Party leader Manh suggested that with its advantages, including seaports, Hai Phong should develop hi-tech and environmentally friendly industries. It needs to focus on developing services in order to turn it into the largest seaport service centre in the north as well as one of the biggest financial and banking service centres in the country, he added. 

General Secretary Manh attended the 10^th Party congress of the Hoang Van Thu Ward Party Committee for the 2010-2015 tenure. 

During the visit, the Party leader visited the Hai Phong Cement and Thermoelectric Power Plants.
