President Triet made the appraisals during working sessions between the Politburo and Secretariat of the Party Central Committee and the provinces of Binh Duong, Ba Ria-Vung Tau, Tay Ninh, Binh Thuan, Dong Nai and Binh Phuoc in Hanoi on August 14, 16 and 17. 

The people’s lives continue to improve together with a drop in the number of poor households, he said, adding that their GDP growth has surpassed the set targets, with a higher proportion of industries and services and a greater focus on staples of high economic value. 

All investment sources have been mobilized to develop sea tourism, services, industries and the border economy to full advantage, he said. 

President Triet highlighted the six provinces’ efforts to draft documents and personnel schemes prepared for the provincial Party Congresses in the 2010-2015 term. 

Despite certain difficulties, the rates of female, young and ethnic cadres in the congresses have been ensured, he said. 

The President also asked the Party’s Committees to increase their leadership capability, bring into play Party members’ exemplary roles and expand the movement “Study and follow President Ho Chi Minh’s moral example” with the aim of consolidating the people’s confidence in the Party leadership.
