Forty years after changing its name from Sai Gon to Ho Chi Minh, the southern city has turned itself into a vibrant metropolis of the country.
Local authorities are targeting an 8 percent economic growth in 2016.
The city is also set to increase the rate of trained workers to 75 percent, reduce the rate of poor households by 1 percent, and supply clean water to all households.
It will strive to be among the top five localities nationwide in terms of the provincial governance and public administration performance index, the provincial competitiveness index and the public administration reform index.
