The provincial-level Peoople's Councils have recorded positive changes in their supervisory activities, NA Vice Chairman Man said, adding that the People's Councils have increasingly affirmed their role as State authorities that represent the people's will, aspirations, and rights to mastery.
Secretary of the Party Committee and Chairman of the People’s Council of Quang Ninh province Nguyen Xuan Ky briefed on the locality’s socio-economic development achievements in recent years, saying that the provincial People's Council always represents people from all walks of life, and its responsibility to serve the people.
For many consecutive years, Quang Ninh has led localities nationwide in the Provincial Competitiveness Index (PCI); the Public Administration Reform Index (PAR), the People's Satisfaction Index and the Agency for the Service of State Administration Authorities (SIPAS), and the Public Administration Performance Index (PAPI). The results were significantly contributed by the People's Councils at all levels, he said.
The Conference offered a good chance for Quang Ninh to learn from experience from other provinces and cities, and absorb valuable guidance from leaders of the Party and State, thus sketching out right decisions to keep the locality’s momentum of development in the coming time, Ky said.
