Also attending were Politburo members, Deputy Heads of the Steering Committee: Nguyen Hoa Binh, Permanent Deputy Prime Minister; Do Van Chien, Secretary of the Party Central Committee, Chairman of the Central Committee of the Vietnam Fatherland Front; leaders of ministries, branches, and central agencies who are members of the Steering Committee. The meeting was broadcast live to the headquarters of the People's Committees of 63 provinces and centrally-run cities.

Speaking at the opening of the meeting, Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh emphasized that since its launch, the emulation movement to join hands to eliminate temporary and dilapidated houses nationwide has been actively implemented according to the motto "those who have merit help merit, those who have property help property, those who have a lot help a lot, those who have little help a little"; relatives, aunts, uncles, cousins, and neighbors have actively helped with humanity, voluntarily, and selflessly; leaders of ministries, branches, and localities have actively participated, considering this a humane action. Therefore, we need to continue to promote this spirit.

The Prime Minister clearly stated the spirit of "only discussing, not retreating", determined to complete the elimination of temporary and dilapidated houses nationwide by October 31, 2025; compared to the progress when the movement was launched in Hoa Binh 1 year ago, the progress was shortened by 2 months. Since the launch, the whole country has eliminated nearly 209,000 houses, of which: 111,000 houses were inaugurated and handed over; 98,000 houses were started, reaching about 77% of the total demand. Since the third session, nearly 87,000 houses have been started and inaugurated, an average increase of 26 houses/locality/day.

This is a very encouraging result in the context of all levels, sectors and localities. However, the task from now until October 31, 2025 is still very heavy (there are still about 61,800 temporary houses and dilapidated houses) because it involves many ministries, agencies and localities, the scope of implementation is wide, while the remaining time is not much (about 170 days). On average, about 364 houses must be completed each day nationwide; on average, each locality must complete 8 houses/day.

Therefore, the Prime Minister requested all levels, sectors and localities to make great efforts, have great determination, take more drastic and effective actions, have a focus and key points, and complete each task to successfully implement the goals of the Program.

At this session, the Prime Minister asked delegates to exchange and discuss in a frank and responsible spirit, focusing on: assessing the current status of the Program's implementation results in ministries, agencies and localities.

The Prime Minister commended the Ministry of National Defense, the Ministry of Public Security, and the Ministry of Ethnic Minorities and Religions for actively implementing this work. However, it is necessary to immediately review households with meritorious services to the revolution, with the spirit of granting land to those without land; continue to clarify difficulties, obstacles, and challenges in implementing the Program, especially in the context of merging provincial administrative boundaries, abolishing district levels, and rearranging commune-level administrative units.

The Prime Minister emphasized the spirit of strengthening decentralization and delegation of power, “clear people, clear work, clear responsibilities, clear progress, clear results, clear authority”; it is necessary to improve the way of doing things. Key tasks and solutions, breakthroughs to maintain momentum, keep the rhythm, maintain the spirit, maintain the progress in implementing the movement.
