With the motto "Solidarity - Democracy - Innovation - Creativity - Development", the Congress will comprehensively assess the situation and results of the implementation of the Resolution of the 9th National Congress of the Vietnam Fatherland Front, term 2019 - 2024, and set out the directions, goals, tasks and action programs of the Vietnam Fatherland Front in the new term.
1. On the general situation of the country and the work of the National Front
Looking back on the past term, in the context of a volatile, complex, unpredictable world and region, fierce competition between major powers, the Russia-Ukraine conflict, and the outbreak of the Covid-19 pandemic, causing serious consequences. However, with the Party's correct guidelines and policies, combined with the people's trust and strength, creating a combined strength, our country overcame many difficulties and challenges, joined hands and unanimously successfully controlled the Covid-19 pandemic; resolutely implemented many unprecedented solutions, restored and developed the economy, and effectively resolved social issues, so that our country has never had the foundation, potential, position, and international prestige as it does today.
Along with the leadership that has achieved many great and comprehensive achievements in all fields, the Party and the entire political system continue to pay special attention to the work of the Front. The Politburo has decided to elevate the Party Delegation of the Vietnam Fatherland Front from being directly under the Secretariat to being directly under the Politburo. This shows that the role and mission of the Vietnam Fatherland Front are raised to a new level in the current revolutionary period.
In particular, the Party Central Committee has summarized 20 years of implementing Resolution No. 23-NQ/TW, issued Resolution No. 43-NQ/TW dated November 24, 2023 on continuing to promote the tradition and strength of great national unity, building our country to be increasingly prosperous and happy.
Professor, PhD, late General Secretary Nguyen Phu Trong, an exceptionally outstanding leader, a staunch communist soldier, a shining example of studying and following Ho Chi Minh's moral example, has devoted much effort to researching theory, summarizing practice, and publishing the book "Promoting the tradition of great national unity, building our country to be increasingly rich, civilized, and happy", consistently and thoroughly demonstrating the Party's policy on the role of the people, on practicing democracy, relying on the people to build the Party and the State; on the tradition and strength of great national unity in the cause of building and defending the Fatherland.
Continuing the glorious career of the late General Secretary Nguyen Phu Trong, in the article “Determination to build a strong Party, a prosperous, democratic, fair and civilized Vietnam”, Professor, Doctor, General Secretary, President To Lam continued to affirm: “Especially attach importance to and constantly strengthen solidarity and unity within the Party, great national solidarity, the close bond between the Party and the People.”, “Firmly maintain the stance, viewpoint and practice of “people are the root”, “People are the subject and center of the renovation process”; all guidelines and policies must truly originate from the lives, aspirations, rights and legitimate interests of the people, taking the happiness and prosperity of the people as the goal to strive for…”.
The above strategic issues are a very important political basis for the Vietnam Fatherland Front Congresses at all levels in this term to determine goals, tasks, and feasible breakthrough solutions to promote the tradition and strength of great national unity to a new height.
2. On the results of implementing the Resolution of the 9th Congress of the Vietnam Fatherland Front, term 2019-2024
It can be affirmed that over the past five years, in the context of many difficulties and challenges compared to the forecast, the Vietnam Fatherland Front system has made efforts to complete the tasks set out in the Resolution of the 9th National Congress of the Vietnam Fatherland Front, term 2019 - 2024 and the sudden and arising tasks in reality. The activities of the Vietnam Fatherland Front, socio-political organizations and member organizations have always ensured the comprehensive leadership of the Party, increasingly close and effective coordination with State agencies, authorities at all levels and the political system. The Vietnam Fatherland Front and socio-political organizations have advised the Party to issue many policies and guidelines on great national unity, on the organization and operation of the Vietnam Fatherland Front and its member organizations. These results are demonstrated through the effective implementation of 5 action programs identified by the 9th Congress of the Vietnam Fatherland Front:
Firstly, the Vietnam Fatherland Front and its member organizations have made many efforts to innovate the content and methods of operation, protect the legitimate and legal interests of members, union members, association members and the people, contributing to solving many practical problems and complex issues arising in the development process; diversifying the forms of operation, and being closer to the grassroots.
The activities of the National Great Unity Day in residential areas are increasingly organized and have achieved many important results. From the vivid reality of the festival in more than 100,000 residential areas across the country, it can be affirmed that the festival has brought spiritual values, enriched revolutionary will, honored community strength, contributed to the successful implementation of political tasks, economic, cultural and social development in each village, hamlet, residential group, residential area... throughout the country.
Second, with the motto of "using people's strength to care for people's lives", in the 2019-2024 term, campaigns and emulation movements were deployed with focus and key points, arousing the spirit of emulation, creative labor and the joint efforts of the whole community, bringing practical results contributing to economic development, solving social problems, building new rural areas, civilized urban areas, and sustainable poverty reduction.
The campaign "All people unite to build new rural areas and civilized urban areas" continues to play a core role, increasingly becoming a nationwide, comprehensive, and widespread campaign in the community, contributing to changing the face of urban and rural areas, improving the quality of people's lives. Up to now, 78% of communes nationwide have met new rural standards; 284 district-level units in 58 provinces and centrally run cities have completed their tasks/met new rural standards, of which 03 districts have met advanced new rural standards; 22 provinces and centrally run cities have 100% of communes meeting new rural standards.
Responding to the movement "For the poor - No one left behind" launched by the Prime Minister, the Vietnam Fatherland Front system from the central to local levels has worked with all levels and sectors to synchronously deploy solutions to eliminate hunger, reduce poverty, and improve the material and spiritual life of the people. The organization and implementation of the Project to mobilize the construction of Great Solidarity houses for poor households in Dien Bien province is a typical and outstanding activity in innovating the method of implementing activities to support the poor and social security; demonstrating the role and responsibility of the Vietnam Fatherland Front. After only 9 months from the launch date, with the joint efforts of the Vietnam Fatherland Front system at all levels, the Project has completed 5,000 houses for poor households in Dien Bien province, 500 houses for poor households in Lai Chau, Son La, Lao Cai, Hoa Binh, Yen Bai provinces. This program has received regular attention and direction from Party and State leaders and has been highly appreciated by public opinion, suitable for practice, and deeply humane.
Following that result, Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh, Chairman of the Central Emulation and Reward Council, coordinated with the Presidium of the Vietnam Fatherland Front Central Committee to organize the launching ceremony of the emulation movement nationwide to join hands to "Eliminate temporary and dilapidated houses" in 2025. The program aims to mobilize the joint efforts, consensus, and participation of the entire political system, business community, and people, to practically achieve achievements, to celebrate the 50th Anniversary of the Liberation of the South and National Reunification; to welcome the 14th National Congress of the Party and strive with very high political determination to eliminate all temporary and dilapidated houses of the poor and people in difficult circumstances nationwide in 2025.
With the motto of continuing to mobilize resources to realize the set goals, on October 5, the Prime Minister coordinated with the Presidium of the Vietnam Fatherland Front Central Committee to organize a program to launch support for eliminating temporary and dilapidated houses nationwide with the theme "Warm home for my people". The program has received thousands of billions of VND in registered support from agencies, units, organizations, individuals, and philanthropists at home and abroad with the desire to implement quickly, substantially, effectively, prevent negativity, corruption, loss, people truly benefit from new houses, determined to complete in 2025.
Although the term has experienced unprecedented and complicated developments, especially the Covid-19 pandemic, with a sense of responsibility, proactiveness and effort, the Vietnam Fatherland Front has closely coordinated with central agencies, ministries, departments and branches, member organizations and localities to launch, call on and mobilize people from all walks of life at home and abroad, people of all ethnic groups and religions to join hands and participate in the fight against the pandemic, contributing to the whole country's successful control of the pandemic; overcoming the consequences of the Covid-19 pandemic, and recovering and developing the socio-economy.
Along with that, in the face of the severe damage caused by storm No. 3 named Yagi, the Presidium of the Central Committee of the Vietnam Fatherland Front promptly issued an appeal to compatriots and soldiers nationwide, our compatriots abroad, member organizations of the Vietnam Fatherland Front, social organizations, businesses, philanthropists at home and abroad, foreigners living and working in Vietnam to share and provide spiritual and material support, contributing together with the Party and State to quickly overcome the consequences of storms and floods, restore production, and stabilize people's lives.
Up to now, through the receiving account of the Central Relief Mobilization Committee, the amount of support has reached over 2,000 billion VND. For the first time, the Standing Committee of the Vietnam Fatherland Front Central Committee has promptly directed the "statement", publicizing and making transparent the sources of support and timely allocating them to the localities affected, with heavy losses in human lives and property, receiving the sympathy, support and praise of all classes of people at home and abroad, multiplying the comradely love, the sense of brotherhood, the fragrance and warmth.
Third, during the past term, the Front system continued to affirm its role in promoting democracy, representing and protecting the legitimate and legal rights and interests of the people, conducting social supervision and criticism, and participating in Party and government building. In many localities, the Front has done a good job of proposing to Party committees and coordinating with the government to organize direct dialogues between leaders of Party committees and governments with the people, thereby promptly removing difficulties, alleviating frustrations, creating social consensus, creating the basis and driving force for socio-economic development, protecting the legitimate and legal rights and interests of the people, contributing to building a strong Party and government.
The Fatherland Front at all levels has also fully and closely carried out the steps according to the consultation process to select and introduce qualified candidates for the 15th National Assembly and People's Councils at all levels for the 2021-2026 term. In particular, under the conditions of isolation to prevent the Covid-19 pandemic, the Fatherland Front system at all levels has coordinated to propagate and mobilize 99.60% of voters nationwide to participate in voting. This is the election with the largest number of voters ever with nearly 70 million ballots at 84,914 polling stations. Election Day, May 23, 2021, has truly become a great festival for all people. That once again affirms the patriotism, national pride, and trust of voters and people in the regime, the Party, the State and the political system.
The work of social supervision and criticism, participation in Party and State building continued to be strengthened and achieved many outstanding results, contributing significantly to the implementation of the role of the Vietnam Fatherland Front as the political foundation of the people's government, an important bridge between the Party and the government and the people. The representative role protects the legitimate rights and interests of union members, association members and the people; actively participates in building a clean and strong Party and State; initially deploys activities to supervise leaders, managers, heads and Party members in training ethics, lifestyle, and performing public duties. Many social criticism opinions have been accepted and highly appreciated by the drafting agencies, becoming an important and necessary information channel to help the Party and the State consider and promulgate policies, laws and decide on important issues of the country and localities.
Fourthly, people's foreign affairs activities have achieved many positive results. The Vietnam Fatherland Front Committees at all levels and member organizations have promoted activities of solidarity, friendship, peace, protection, preservation of borders, landmarks and mutual support in hunger eradication, poverty reduction, sharing production experiences, preventing crimes and social evils. The Vietnam Fatherland Front has organized many exchange and communication activities, maintained high-level delegation exchanges; increased support, training, and exchange of working experiences with: the Lao Front for National Construction, the Cambodian Fatherland Development Solidarity Front, the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, the Cuban Revolutionary Defense Committee; maintained and developed regular relations with people's organizations of countries such as the French Economic, Social and Environmental Council; the Singapore People's Association, the Korean Economic, Social and Labor Council, etc. The Vietnam Fatherland Front is a member and has actively contributed to the activities of the International Association of Economic and Social Councils and equivalent organizations.
Fifth, the coordination between the Front and state agencies at the same level has become increasingly close and effective, contributing to creating favorable conditions for the Front to carry out its tasks, especially in implementing programs of social supervision and criticism, and participating in Party and government building. The unified coordination of actions among members of the Front has been renewed, more clearly demonstrating the leading role, the nature of political alliance, and voluntary association of the Front and promoting the characteristics and strengths of the organizations.
It can be affirmed that the above important results were achieved thanks to the Party's regular and close leadership and direction, especially the timely issuance of policies on the work of the Front; the increasingly close and effective coordination of the National Assembly Standing Committee, the Government and State agencies and authorities at all levels; the proactiveness, creativity and positivity of member organizations; the correct identification of the focus and key points in the implementation of tasks of the Vietnam Fatherland Front Committees at all levels; the efforts and enthusiasm of the staff working for the Front at all levels, especially the support of the people at home and abroad, the business community; the results of international integration, the socio-economic situation of our country continued to recover positively, achieving many important results in all fields. The Vietnam Fatherland Front system accompanies the State and authorities at all levels to focus on doing a good job of ensuring social security and improving people's lives. The activities of the Vietnam Fatherland Front are increasingly practical, linked to the direct interests of the people, receiving the attention and response of the whole society.
