“Waste has been causing many serious consequences for development”

General Secretary To Lam particularly emphasized: “We are facing a historic opportunity to bring the country into an era of national growth. This is also the time to shape our future.”

Opportunities are things that only come and exist at a certain point in time. They can be lost and never come back. Wasting opportunities and missing opportunities can cause a country to lose the chance to accelerate, break through, take shortcuts, and take the lead in development.

“Summarize and replicate the experience of implementing the 500kV line project, circuit 3, Quang Trach ( Quang Binh ) - Pho Noi (Hung Yen) to shorten the implementation time of key, important national public investment projects, highways, key, inter-regional projects, and projects with spillover effects”
General Secretary To Lam.

The lesson of seizing opportunities in the August Revolution of 1945 by our Party and beloved Uncle Ho remains valuable today and forever.

Specifically, at the time after the Japanese fascists staged a coup to oust the French colonialists from their sole occupation of Indochina, in the Directive “Japan-France fighting each other and our actions” (March 12, 1945), the Party Central Committee wisely assessed that the situation now had many new advantages, but “the conditions for uprising… are not yet ripe”.

The opportunity for the August Revolution in 1945 only appeared when World War II ended, Japanese fascists surrendered unconditionally to the Allies, the Japanese command in Indochina was extremely divided, Japanese soldiers were disbanded, lost their morale, and pro-Japanese Vietnamese traitors were frightened. At the same time, the opportunity for the revolution appeared when all preparations of our Party in terms of forces, policies, and combat strategies were completed, when the national salvation movement of the entire people had reached its highest peak.

Accordingly, this opportunity does not exist forever but will disappear when the Allied forces enter our country to disarm the Japanese fascists. Therefore, under the leadership of the Party and President Ho Chi Minh, the Vietnamese revolution quickly moved from partial uprisings to general uprisings. Thanks to careful preparation of forces, and breaking out at the right time and right opportunity, the August Revolution of 1945 achieved a "quick, neat, and bloodless" victory.

This is a successful example of the art of creating opportunities, predicting opportunities, accurately assessing opportunities; at the same time, resolutely seizing opportunities, launching a nationwide uprising to seize power.

With all modesty , we can still say that our country has never had the foundation, potential , position and international prestige as it does today.

The result after nearly 80 years of nation building and continuous development, up to now, as the late General Secretary Nguyen Phu Trong affirmed: "With all modesty, we can still say that our country has never had the foundation, potential, position and international prestige as today".

At present, we are striving to complete the goals and tasks of the XIII Congress term; at the same time, we are making every effort to prepare for the XIV Party Congress. Along with that, the team of key leaders of the Party and State has just been completed with a very high level of unity, supported, happy and excited by the people.

Therefore, with the determination and determination to overcome difficulties and remove bottlenecks that hinder development, our country is facing a historic opportunity to enter a new era of development, an era of national growth. We must seize and realize this opportunity, as the vision and forecast of the Central Executive Committee, the Politburo, the Secretariat, headed by General Secretary To Lam, have affirmed.
