Firstly, build a thematic resolution on streamlining the apparatus, improving the effectiveness of the grassroots political system, ensuring streamlining, effectiveness and efficiency. Continue to strongly innovate the Party's leadership method, close to the people, listen to the people, for the benefit of the people. Promote digital transformation, build digital government, serve the people more effectively. Pay more attention to the grassroots cadre team, salary policy, training, capacity building, and qualities for cadres, especially at the commune level. Expand the autonomy mechanism and decentralize more strongly for large cities.

Second, the draft documents of the 14th National Party Congress need to assess and reaffirm the special position and role of the Vietnam Fatherland Front in the political system as a basis for the Vietnam Fatherland Front to operate more effectively; issue a thematic resolution on the work of the Vietnam Fatherland Front in the new period - the era of the Vietnamese nation's rise; clarify the "core political role" of the Vietnam Fatherland Front in building the great national unity bloc and promoting the people's mastery. The proposals and recommendations of the Vietnam Fatherland Front need to be seen as a form of criticism with special political and legal value, a bridge between the people and the Party and the State. Therefore, it is necessary to build a mechanism to monitor and publicize the reception and response to the Front's recommendations; institutionalize the process of "Two-way policy feedback" between the Front - State - People; Elevate People-Government forums and Party-People dialogues into regular, high-quality, institutional channels.

Third, focus investment resources on environmental protection, climate change response and natural disaster prevention and control (especially subsidence, flooding and rising sea levels). Emphasize that fundamental and timely solutions are necessary to protect the achievements of socio-economic development and ensure sustainable development.

Fourth, consider using only one set of unified textbooks. In addition, it is necessary to continue to innovate the program towards practical learning - practice, developing critical thinking, creativity, digital skills and global integration; at the same time, emphasizing the role of science, technology and innovation as the central driving force for the country's sustainable development. For the health sector, it is necessary to develop and implement specific policies to ensure people's rights when using health services through participating in health insurance; at the same time, help people access basic and specialized health services, contributing to protecting and improving public health.

Fifth, it is recommended that the draft document submitted to the 14th Party Congress add strategic tasks, methods and implementation models to attract foreign intellectuals and scientists to work for Vietnam; at the same time, streamline administrative procedures to the maximum, and have special policies for outstanding foreign individuals and scientists to work in Vietnam. Build a global Vietnamese knowledge network, connect Vietnamese experts abroad to participate in policy consulting, criticism, applied research, and human resource training.
