For his part, Mr. Nhan pledged to spare no effort to accomplish the assigned mission and develop HCM City.
The Politburo also decided that Mr. Dinh La Thang, former Politburo member and former Secretary of HCMC Party Committee, will undertake the position of Deputy Head of the Party Central Committee’s Commission for Economic Affairs.
