Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh chaired the third meeting of the Central Steering Committee for the Elimination of Temporary and Dilapidated Houses on March 10.

The Da Nang broadcasting bridge point saw the attendance of Party Committee Secretary Nguyen Van Quang, People’s Committee Chairman Le Trung Chinh and Chairman of the Viet Nam Fatherland Front Committee of the city Le Van Trung.

PM Chinh highlighted the significant humanitarian meaning of the programme on eliminating temporary and dilapidated houses, showing the national spirit of great national solidarity, mutual support, and the responsibility for disadvantaged people and those in remote areas.

Stressing that eliminating substandard houses is an extremely important political task, the PM called for stronger engagement of the whole political system in the work, especially the business community and the public, so as to basically complete the programme by October 31, 2025.

PM Chinh underlined the need for sectors at all levels and localities to take drastic actions, strengthen information and communication work, and create motivation and inspiration for all people. At the same time, importance should be attached to diversifying central and local resources, as well as mobilising units, businesses, communities, individuals, and domestic and foreign resources to support the programme.

He requested to improve the effectiveness of coordination between agencies in the political system; promote the spirit of self-reliance and self-control; and be proactive, flexible, creative, determined, and resolute in carrying out tasks and solutions to eliminate temporary and dilapidated houses within their authority.

After the online meeting with the Prime Minister ended, Secretary of the Da Nang Party Committee Nguyen Van Quang requested the secretaries and chairmen of districts, wards and communes in the city to simultaneously start construction on the remaining houses on the approved list before March 30, striving to complete new construction and repairs before April 30 and May 1. In addition, efforts should be made to continue to review any additional houses, if any, to submit for approval and start construction in April 2025.

Mr. Quang urged the secretaries of district and commune-level Party Committees to mobilize police and military forces, and socio-political organisations to contribute working days to support the eradication of temporary and dilapidated houses. This will help needy people reduce costs, and create a movement among the entire population to join hands to eliminate temporary and dilapidated houses in the city.
