In his opening speech, Politburo member, Secretary of the Government Party Committee, PM Pham Minh Chinh paid tribute to President Ho Chi Minh and predecessors who exerted tireless efforts and unwavering commitment to the cause of national defence and building a stronger government through different periods.
In particular, on behalf of the Party and Government, the PM expressed his deep gratitude to late Party General Secretary Nguyen Phu Trong, who during this term always provided close direction and leadership, support, sympathy and shared with the Government the difficulties and challenges that had to be overcome to successfully complete the assigned tasks. He underlined that the congress is a particularly important political event for the Government Party Organisation, marking a historic milestone in the journey to build a transparent, creative, action-oriented, and people-centered government that meets the political requirements of the "revolution of organisational restructuring," ensuring comprehensive, direct, and absolute leadership by the Party over the Government Party Committee and the Government, the highest state administrative agency.
PM Chinh stated that the Government Party Committee is the core political leadership body for activities of the Government, ministries and agencies, and particularly in managing the Government's administration, ensuring timely and effective execution of the Party and State’s policies, contributing to the success of the Government’s objectives in various fields. Looking back at the 2020-2025 term, the PM highlighted that amid a rapidly changing and complex international and regional environment, with many unprecedented challenges, under the Party Central Committee’s leadership, with the regular and direct guidance of the Politburo and the Secretariat of the Party Central Committee, headed by late General Secretary Nguyen Phu Trong and now General Secretary To Lam, the Party Civil Affairs Boards of the Government and ministries, now the Government Party Committee, have promoted the spirit of solidarity, discipline, responsibility, proactiveness, flexibility, creativity, with the spirit of "dare to think, dare to do, dare to take responsibility for the common interest", focusing on leading and directing the implementation of three strategic breakthroughs, six key tasks, 12 main groups of solutions according to the Resolution of the 13th National Party Congress and focusing on building and rectifying a clean and strong Party, improving the leadership capacity and fighting strength of Party organisations and Party members.
During the term, the Government agencies took decisive actions in overcoming new challenges, notably the COVID-19 pandemic, maintaining macroeconomic stability, and ensuring social welfare.
Particularly, during the final two years of the term, the agencies focused on guiding and advising on the implementation of the Party and State's historic decisions on restructuring and streamlining the administrative apparatus, building a new two-tier local administration model, and adopting resolutions of the Politburo that created breakthroughs in developing key sectors and areas in the new era.
Thanks to the determined efforts of the entire political system, the business community, and the people nationwide under the Party's leadership and with the support of international friends, Viet Nam has achieved significant, comprehensive, and outstanding accomplishments across all sectors. With results showing continuous improvements year after year and this term surpassing the previous one in most areas, Viet Nam has created momentum for reform and innovation, establishing a rapid and sustainable development force. This has fostered a dynamic spirit throughout society and strengthened the people's trust in the Communist Party of Viet Nam, he underlined.
Basing on the congress's reports and documents, PM Chinh urged delegates to focus on discussing, and evaluating the achievements, limitations, weaknesses, and their causes. It is important to analyse the current situation, identifying any new emerging factors and the objective and subjective causes behind them, he said.
The successes achieved can be attributed to the comprehensive leadership and guidance of the Party Central Committee, with frequent and direct guidance of the Politburo, the Secretariat, and the General Secretary, as well as the close and effective coordination between agencies within the political system, along with the lessons learned from experience, he stated.
