Participants listened to an important address by Party General Secretary To Lam, who outlined orientations, tasks and requirements for the Resolution implementation to turn it into action, action into results, and results into tangible improvements in people’s lives.

Organisational and personnel weaknesses must not be allowed to slow national progress, the Party General Secretary said, noting that time is a vital and non-renewable development resource, and delays in implementation risk wasting resources and missing opportunities for development.

Minister of Public Security Gen. Luong Tam Quang said that amid increasingly complex domestic and international challenges to national construction and defence, the 14th Congress for the first time formally established the concept of comprehensive security, giving security an important role across all areas of national development.

The 14th National Party Congress thoroughly discussed and made decisions on strategic orientations for national defence based on a renewed mindset and perceptions, said Defence Minister Gen. Phan Van Giang.

Elaborating the special significance of the 14th National Party Congress, Trinh Van Quyet underscored that the event marked a development turning point, shaping a new development mindset and establishing a depth and quality-based growth model driven by science – technology, innovation, and knowledge, to replace the capital-, resource- and low-cost labour-based growth model.

The Government leader emphasised the special significance of the action plan, noting that it represents an innovative approach that is both strategic and comprehensive while also concrete, practical, time-saving and feasible, helping the Resolution to be swiftly implemented in reality and generate fruitful outcomes across all fields so that the people can soon benefit from the achievements of the 14th National Party Congress.

Through 10 topics, the conference focuses on the key contents and new points in the documents of the 14th National Party Congress.
