The workshop in progress

This was the 5^th time that such an event had been held in the city to widely gather opinions from local historians and experts about the history of the municipal PC.

The work will consist of 2 separate parts, namely ‘Da Nang - an Administrative Part of Quang Nam-Da Nang Province during the 1975 - 1996 Period’ and ‘Da Nang - a Centrally-Governed City during the 1997 - 2015 Period’.  The work will clearly demonstrate the municipal PC’s strategic breakthroughs in ensuring the city’s rapid but sustainable development.

In detail, the focus has been on developing the local economy in combination with bolstering the development of cultural and social development in a harmonious and sustainable manner.  The intention is to make Da Nang an environmentally-friendly, peaceful, and liveable city.

The discussion highlighted the opinions from the local historians and experts about the content of the work, especially about the local industrial and commercial promotional activities, the innovations in Party building, and the breakthrough strategies for promoting the city’s progress. 

There were also recommendations about a list of outstanding individuals who left the deepest impression on the Party and people of Da Nang during the 1975 - 2015 period, as well as members of the city’s PC Executive Board during the 1997 - 2015 period.

In particular, the participants stressed the need to clarify the leadership of the municipal PC over the historical periods, and the creative thinking skills of the local key leaders.

Copies of the completed work are expected to be released on 1 January 2017 to mark the 20th anniversary of the city’s recognition as a centrally-governed city.
