Speaking at the event, PM Chinh called on Ha Noi to pursue one overarching goal of continuing the nation’s journey of “Independence - Freedom - Prosperity - Happiness,” toward socialism, while attending the city's Patriotic Emulation Congress for the 2025 – 2030 period on October 10.
The event brought together over 600 delegates, representing exemplary collectives and individuals in Ha Noi’s patriotic emulation movement during the 2020 – 2025 period.
Speaking at the congress, PM Pham Minh Chinh, who also serves as Chairman of the Central Council for Emulation and Commendation, recalled that more than 77 years ago, President Ho Chi Minh launched the nationwide patriotic emulation movement, which has since become a powerful driving force and a banner of determination and action for the entire Party, people, and army.
The PM highlighted that, as the political-administrative centre of the nation and a major hub of culture, science, education, and economy, Hanoi has led the way in effectively implementing patriotic emulation campaigns. These movements have fostered enthusiasm, creativity, and collective strength, helping the city fulfill and surpass its socio-economic development targets.
PM Chinh urged Ha Noi to focus on building a clean, strong, and people-oriented political system, promoting discipline and innovation in governance; restructuring its economy toward green, digital, and circular growth based on science, technology, and digital transformation; and creating breakthroughs with transparent institutions, modern infrastructure, and smart governance.
He also called for investment in human development and high-quality workforce training, and for nurturing the local thousand-year cultural heritage as a vital internal resource and development driver.
