Since the beginning of November, the atmosphere of the Great National Unity Festival has spread through villages and residential areas across Hai Phong.

Decorated streets, artistic performances staged by local residents, gatherings bringing together different generations, and communal meals filled with neighborhood warmth have created a vivid picture of community life.

This year's festival comes after the city completed the reorganization of its villages and residential areas, resulting in population sizes and administrative areas doubling or tripling in many places. Against this backdrop, maintaining close ties, bringing people together and building consensus in each new residential area has become all the more meaningful.

Patriotic emulation movements have been widely implemented in connection with the Party's guidelines and the State's policies and laws, as well as efforts to build a cultural lifestyle, safeguard national security, join hands in building new-style rural areas and civilized urban areas, and promote digital transformation.

The spirit of solidarity has been translated into practical actions, from caring for the poor, families with meritorious service to the revolution and people facing hardship to promoting community self-management in environmental sanitation, public security and order, and efforts to make streets and alleyways well-lit, green, clean and beautiful, bringing vitality to every residential community.

By strengthening bonds within each neighborhood, the collective strength of residents is mobilized and brought into play, building consensus and helping development policies and tasks take root in everyday life. This provides an important foundation for Hai Phong's strong growth in recent years, particularly its maintenance of double-digit economic growth for 11 consecutive years.

Looking ahead, especially from 2027, as the city enters the midpoint of the Party Congress's term, development requirements will become increasingly demanding, calling for greater consensus and determination. The goal of making Hai Phong a modern, civilized, ecological and worth-living industrial port city on a regional scale in Southeast Asia by 2030 is not solely the responsibility of the local government or the business community. It requires the joint efforts of every resident in every village and residential area.

To achieve this, Party committees at all levels, Front Work Committees and mass organizations need to maintain close contact with grassroots communities and serve as real bridges between residents and Party committees and authorities. They should proactively listen to people's concerns and promptly report and coordinate efforts to address their legitimate issues and aspirations.

At the same time, greater attention should be paid to taking care of families of people who rendered service to the revolution and those facing hardship; strengthening learning and talent promotion; and encouraging people to apply scientific and technological advances, cooperate in production and product marketing, and develop their livelihoods. Preserving and promoting cultural identity, particularly traditional values, also deserves greater attention so that each community can grow not only in material well-being but also in cultural richness and mutual care.

When every village and residential area becomes a truly desirable place to live and every resident feels they are an integral part of the community, the strength of great unity will become a lasting and solid resource for Hai Phong's rapid, sustainable, civilized and happy development.
