Hanoi (VNA) – The Patriotic Emulation Congress of
Hanoi for the 2020-2025 period was held in the capital city on October 3 with
the attendance of Prime Minister Nguyen Xuan Phuc.
Delivering a report reviewing the city’s emulation and
commendation movement during the 2015-2020 period, Chairman of the municipal
People’s Committee Chu Ngoc Anh highlighted its achievements, which he said,
have made important contributions to fulfilling socio-political, economic,
national defence-security tasks assigned to the city.
Over the past five years, tens of thousands of local
collectives and individuals have been honoured by the Party, State, Prime
Minister and municipal People’s Committee with the titles of heroic Vietnamese
mothers, labour heroes, national emulation soldiers and certificates of merit.
As many as 59 outstanding individuals were recognised as outstanding citizens
of the city for 2015-2019.
Anh stressed that the Party Organisation, administration and
people of Hanoi will continue staying united, overcoming challenges to
accomplish socio-political, economic and cultural tasks for 2020-2025 and the subsequent
years, thus deserving its tradition as a City for Peace.
Addressing the event, PM Phuc, who is also Chairman of the
Central Council for Emulation and Commendation, asked Hanoi to continue
renewing its emulation and commendation affairs in order to ensure openness,
transparency and democracy.
He expressed his belief that following the congress, the
municipal authorities, armed forces and people will effectively carry out
emulation campaigns and movements to build a modern and civilised city.
Later, Anh called on local departments, agencies,
businesspeople, officials, cadres, workers and people from walks of life to
respond to the city’s patriotic emulation movements, contributing to fulfilling
political tasks for 2020-2025.
On the occasion, PM Phuc presented the title of Hero of the People’s
Armed Forces to the city’s volunteer young people force.
Chairman of the Party Central Committee’s Commission for Information
and Education Vo Van Thuong and President of the Vietnam Fatherland Front
Central Committee Tran Thanh Man granted Labour Orders to outstanding
collectives for the 2015-2020 period.
Ten outstanding citizens of the city in 2020 were also
honoured. A number of collectives and individuals also received certificates of
merit from the Chairman of the municipal People’s Committee for their
achievements in emulation movements for 2015-2020.
