Speaking at the ceremony, Le Truong Luu, Secretary of Hue City Party Committee and Chairman of the City People’s Council, recalled the heroic history of the city throughout different periods. He emphasised that the momentous victory in the spring of 1975 was the culmination of a long struggle for national liberation, marked by the sacrifices of countless dedicated cadres, Party members, and the people through various stages of history.

He noted that 50 years after liberation and nearly 40 years of implementing the renovation policy, Hue has achieved remarkable progress. As of 2024, most key socio-economic indicators have met or exceeded targets, with an economic growth rate of 8.15% and total state budget revenue reaching nearly 13 trillion VND, approaching fiscal balance. The city's socio-cultural industries have also seen positive transformations.

Hue has been affirming its position as a centre of unique cultural tourism, specialised healthcare, science-technology, and high-quality multi-disciplinary education and training in Vietnam. The city’s defence and security situation remains stable, while foreign affairs and international integration have been deepened. The quality of Party building and political system development has also been significantly enhanced.

Thanks to its relentless efforts, Hue has been honoured twice with the First-Class Independence Order from the State. Notably, from January 1, 2025, Thua Thien Hue has officially become the sixth centrally governed city in Vietnam, as stipulated by Resolution 175 of the National Assembly.

He noted that the Party and State expect Hue to further promote its rich historical and cultural traditions, foster solidarity, nurture aspirations for advancement, and accelerate innovation and creativity to achieve its development goals. These efforts will help Hue evolve into a sustainable, safe, peaceful, friendly, and happy city.

Politburo Member Tran Cam Tu emphasised: "Hue must focus on effectively implementing the National Assembly’s Resolution No.175."

Tu asked the city authorities to focus on effectively implementing Resolution No.175 and ensure the timely restructuring of the political system as part of its transition to a centrally governed city.

Additionally, he called for Hue to capitalise on its strengths, focus on key sectors, and stimulate economic growth by mobilising resources to develop comprehensive socio-economic infrastructure, upgrade urban areas, and expedite major projects. The city must also enhance urban planning and management, digital infrastructure development, and successfully implement the Politburo’s Resolution 57-NQ/TW, which focuses on breakthroughs in science, technology, innovation, and national digital transformation.
