At the event, Secretary of the provincial Party Committee Doan Hong Phong informed the leader of the province’s socio-economic achievements, national defence-security and Party building in 2016, and key tasks for this year. 
Secretary Phong said that Nam Dinh will continue carry out action programmes to realise the Party’s resolutions while adopting synchronous and comprehensive measures on Party building and rectification, driving back political and moral degradation, “self-evolution” and “self-transformation” phenomena in line with the resolution adopted by the fourth plenum of the 12th Party Central Committee and the Politburo’s Directive No.5 on studying and following President Ho Chi Minh’s thought, virtue and lifestyle.
During the previous year, the province has exceeded as many as 20 among 22 socio-economy targets with its gross domestic development product increased by 7%, the highest rate since 2011, he added.
Up to now, the locality has had 152 new-rural standards communes (reaching 73%),  and its competitiveness index has increased  strongly, increasing 16 steps per year, according to the Secretary.
Speaking at the session, General Secretary Nguyen Phu Trong praised the province’s strategic position in the Red River and its time-honoured cultural and historical traditions. 
The General Secretary noted that given its potential and natural conditions, the past achievements fall short of expectation of the provincial Party Committee, authorities and people. The average income per capita was only 42 million VND (1,826 USD), lower than the country’s average, while local budget collection meets only 30 percent of spending needs. 
He also suggested increasing cooperation among the local authorities, scientists, businesses and farmers to develop agriculture, along with building large-scale paddy field, applying advanced technology and developing processing technology. 
The Party chief suggested the province attract more investment to give impetus to industry, agriculture and services. 
During the trip to Nam Dinh, General Secretary Nguyen Phu Trong offered incense to the late Party General Secretary Truong Chinh at his memorial house in Xuan Hong commune, Xuan Truong district and paid floral tribute at Truong Chinh monument in Xuan Truong town on the occasion of the late leader’s 110th birthday anniversary (February 9).
