The First Congress of the Party Committee of the Ministry of Construction was a significant political event, marking a major turning point in Party building, organizational consolidation, and the enhancement of the comprehensive leadership capacity of the Party Committee of the Ministry of Construction following the merger of two ministries—the Ministry of Construction and the Ministry of Transport —into a single grassroots-level Party Committee directly under the Government Party Committee, with a larger scale, greater stature, and higher responsibilities.
The Congress was held with the theme: “Enhancing the leadership capacity and fighting strength of Party committees and organizations at all levels, improving the operational efficiency of agencies, units, and enterprises; promoting the strength of unity, cooperation, and innovation to build a strong and comprehensive Party Committee and Ministry of Construction, contributing to bringing the country into a new era of national development.”

Referring to the current situation, the Prime Minister emphasized that difficulties and challenges outweigh opportunities and advantages; in this context, the merger of the Ministry of Construction and the Ministry of Transport opens up new development opportunities. The Ministry of Construction has always been united and cohesive in overcoming difficulties and challenges.
The Prime Minister summarized the achievements of the Ministry of Construction in the past period: thoroughly understanding, implementing, and effectively carrying out the Resolution of the 13th National Congress of the Party; progressive institutions and synchronous planning; breakthrough infrastructure; difficulties resolved; Party building organization elevated; future created; added value; corruption, negative practices, and waste pushed back.
In particular, the ministry is striving to complete 3,000km of expressways and 1,000km of coastal roads; and to complete and implement railway lines. The ministry has made breakthroughs in comprehensive infrastructure development in air, sea, and inland waterway transport…
On behalf of the Standing Committee of the Government Party Committee, the Prime Minister highly appreciated and commended the achievements of the Ministry of Construction, contributing to the overall development of the country. Besides that, the Prime Minister also frankly pointed out the shortcomings and limitations of the construction industry: the real estate market is underdeveloped; social housing for the poor and low-income earners is not yet fully developed; the potential of maritime and waterway transport is enormous, but investment is not yet sufficient; the development of artificial intelligence (AI) and digital transformation has not been promoted; some mechanisms and policies are slow to adapt and still too comprehensive; and administrative procedures remain cumbersome.
Regarding lessons learned, the Prime Minister emphasized the need for unity and consensus based on listening, sharing, respecting, and understanding each other; flexible policy responses to the situation, formulating appropriate policies, widely and thoroughly disseminating policies, and prioritizing the interests of the country and its people; focusing on state management, strengthening decentralization and delegation of power, reducing administrative procedures, coupled with supervision and inspection.
Looking ahead, the Prime Minister emphasized that the most important tasks must be identified as Party building, organizational work, personnel work, and improving the capacity and fighting strength of Party organizations and Party members, ensuring appropriateness and enhancing the effectiveness of Party organizations' operations.
Strengthen supervision and inspection: conduct broad-based supervision and focused inspections, preventing minor shortcomings from escalating into major violations; especially strengthen the fight against corruption, negative practices, and waste. The five principles of Party building and operation must be effectively implemented: maximizing democratic centralism; self-criticism and criticism; unity and solidarity within the Party, within the Government Party Committee, and within the Ministry of Construction Party Committee; close ties with the people, reducing administrative procedures for the people; and operating in accordance with the Constitution, laws, and Party regulations.
Regarding Party building work, the Prime Minister emphasized the need to thoroughly understand the five methods of Party leadership. The Party Committee of the Ministry of Construction needs to develop guidelines and policies that are appropriate to the situation and conducive to development; organize a streamlined and efficient structure; have capable and experienced Party members, with each Party member acting as a propagandist; and set a good example for cadres and Party members.
Specifically, it concretizes the Party's guidelines and policies, contributing to the Party's guidelines, the guidelines of the Government Party Congress, the 14th National Party Congress, and the Resolution of the Party Congress of the Ministry of Construction. It contributes to the successful implementation of the three strategic breakthroughs, achieving the target of 3,000km of expressways and 1,000km of coastal roads by 2025; in reality, approximately 1,700km of coastal roads have already been completed, exceeding the set target and contributing to enhanced exploitation of the marine space.
Developing inland waterways and seaports; implementing railway projects, which require cooperation for technology transfer; "we must look far ahead, think deeply, and do things on a large scale."
Regarding specific tasks, the Prime Minister requested continued identification of key priorities and feasible solutions to prioritize leadership and guidance. The spirit is to always innovate thinking and act decisively. Strengthen state management, avoiding project-based management; therefore, strategic thinking, planning, and the establishment of a robust legal framework are necessary. Promote the development of science and technology, innovation, digital transformation, and the circular economy, with a focus on green transportation and smart cities.
Successfully implementing a revolution in organizational structure and perfecting the industry's management mechanisms; assigning ministry officials for a three-month rotation to support grassroots levels; and building an industry database. Making breakthroughs in the development of transportation methods, prioritizing railways and inland waterways. Expeditiously implementing a synchronized approach to transportation methods to create connectivity, generate synergies, reduce logistics costs, and increase the competitiveness of goods.
Mobilize resources and invest in building mechanisms and policies because resources originate from mindset, motivation from innovation, and strength from the people; build preferential mechanisms and policies to encourage investment; promote public-private partnerships for the strength of the people and businesses; effectively utilize available resources, especially existing infrastructure; and accelerate the progress of projects.
The Prime Minister expressed confidence that with new thinking, working methods, and a decisive leadership style, the Party Committee of the Ministry of Construction will achieve greater success each year than the previous one, and each term will surpass the previous one.
The Prime Minister requested the Ministry of Construction to exceed the social development plan (1 million social housing units); to develop a plan to commence and inaugurate at least 80 projects on August 19th to commemorate the 80th anniversary of the August Revolution and National Day on September 2nd; and to strive to ensure that no children lack access to large schools and no people lack access to medical facilities.
