Personnel must ensure quality - capacity - prestige - integrity - efficiency, resolutely not let people who seek positions, seek power, corruption, negativity, lack of ambition, peace is precious; promote exemplary leadership, respect real talent, arrange the right person, right job, right time.

Next is to complete and over-fulfill the remaining targets of the 13th National Congress Resolution, the Socio-Economic Development Tasks for 2025, and the 5-year Plan 2021-2025. The authorities continue to maintain macroeconomic stability, control inflation, create room for investment-consumption-export; accelerate the disbursement of public investment "correctly-accurately-fastly-effectively"; strongly improve the business environment, reduce compliance costs, and deploy one-stop-one-declaration public services on an interconnected data platform.

Localities complete the two-tier local government model, continue to arrange and streamline the three-tier apparatus in the entire system. The focus is on digitizing processes, simplifying procedures, expanding decentralization and delegation of authority with accountability, measured by the level of satisfaction of people and businesses.

At the same time, relevant parties remove institutional bottlenecks within the Central Government's authority, focusing on the fields of land-investment-construction-environment-energy; sanitize the corporate bond and real estate markets, strengthen market discipline and confidence; encourage public-private partnerships, technological innovation, unleash social resources, strengthen the leading role of the State economy, and promote the role of the private economy in national development.

Agencies and units should step up the fight against corruption, waste, and negativity with the spirit of "no forbidden zones, no exceptions", protect those who dare to think and act for the common good, tighten Party discipline and order, to fight more strongly and build more sustainably; maintain national defense and security; be proactive and effective in foreign affairs and integration; proactively adapt to new trade policies of major partners; diversify markets, products, and supply chains; maintain a peaceful, stable, cooperative, and developing environment.

Functional departments promote propaganda, orientation and dissemination of information to enhance social confidence in the cause of national protection, construction and development; synchronously deploy propaganda on the implementation of the Resolution of Party Congresses at all levels and the preparation work for the 14th National Congress of the Party.

The relevant parties must firmly and synchronously implement the conclusions of the 13th Central Conference and the Politburo since the 12th Central Conference and the conclusions to be issued in the near future. All tasks must have clear objectives, roadmaps, resources, responsibilities, and inspections; report on time; and publicize progress and results for people to monitor.

Thoroughly grasp the "three focuses - three publics - one measure"

The General Secretary affirmed that in order to turn major policies into concrete results, we need to act resolutely, transparently, and consistently; propose to thoroughly grasp the three focuses: Quickly institutionalize resolutions and conclusions of the Party Central Committee, the Politburo, and the Secretariat; organize drastic implementation according to weekly, monthly, and quarterly progress; regularly inspect and supervise, and promptly remove obstacles. The three publicities include: publicizing progress, publicizing responsibilities, and publicizing results so that society can monitor and accompany together. One measure: People's living standards and trust. Specifically, better public services, more job and business opportunities, less time and procedural costs; a more peaceful society, more prosperous and happier people.

For local Party committees and authorities, especially at the provincial and municipal levels, the General Secretary emphasized the need to focus on creating substantive changes, from "process" to "results", each task must have outputs, responsible addresses, and clear completion milestones, from "strength at each base and locality" to "strength by region"; perfecting planning, connecting transport-digital-energy infrastructure, forming dynamic clusters, and taking advantage of urban economies.

Stakeholders shift from “caring” to “practical caring”: social security, healthcare, and education must reach the right people, at the right time, at the right need; housing for workers and public services must be upgraded; no one will be left behind, striving to ensure that each individual and each family is well cared for, both spiritually and materially.

The 13th Central Conference has been completed with new momentum, new confidence and new responsibilities; great advantages are opening up at the same time, challenges are not small, the General Secretary requested each member of the Party Central Committee to continue to set an example, "talk less - do more - be decisive - effective"; resolutely avoid formality, avoid dogma, avoid pushing. Let's maintain discipline together, unleash resources, innovate, accelerate implementation to create breakthroughs right from the last months of 2025 and create a solid momentum to enter 2026 and the following years; urgently organize the implementation of the Conference's conclusions; prepare well for the 14th Central Conference and especially the 14th National Congress of the Party.

The General Secretary requested Party Central Committee members, especially local leaders, to urgently focus on directing the work of preventing, combating and overcoming the consequences of storms, floods, landslides and inundation that are taking place seriously in many places, especially after storms No. 10 and No. 11.
