In the context of the complicated developments of the Covid-19 pandemic, affecting the whole world and the country, the strategic orientation of the Party Central Committee, headed by the General Secretary, is an important driving force for the entire Party and people to overcome difficulties and challenges, quickly concretize and implement the Resolution of the 13th National Congress with high determination to create a breakthrough, turn challenges into opportunities, take advantage of every opportunity, seize all conditions, and complete the set plans with the highest results.
The new point in the working method of the 13th term is that right after the Congress, the national conferences of the National Assembly, the Government and the blocs: Internal Affairs, the Vietnam Fatherland Front, national defense, security, culture, foreign affairs, etc. were organized synchronously and methodically right from the beginning of the term, clearly and correctly orienting the implementation of the Resolution in the political system, the participation from the beginning of the sectors, levels, localities, the solidarity and efforts of the entire people with the country's development goals in the 5 years of 2021-2026 as well as the following years.
The General Secretary affirmed that this working method “demonstrates the very harmonious and coherent coordination of the entire political system in our country; the high solidarity and unanimity of the entire Party, people and army; a very methodical, reasonable and scientific method and way of working”. In particular, an important new point of the 13th Congress term was pointed out by the General Secretary: “We have issued and directed the very successful organization of National Conferences to thoroughly grasp and implement the new resolutions of the Politburo on socio-economic development, ensuring national defense and security in all 6 socio-economic regions of the country, actively contributing to the successful implementation of the innovation policy of the 13th Party Congress on regional development - an issue of strategic significance, very important, both in theory and practice, in the rapid and sustainable development of the regions in particular and the whole country in general”.
In the first half of the term, the implementation of the resolutions has initially achieved important results. The awareness and resolution of the relationship between regional development and the overall development of the whole country has been carried out in accordance with the spirit of "the whole country for the region and the region for the whole country".
Implementing the Resolution of the 13th National Congress, the National Cultural Conference held in November 2021 created new vitality and new momentum for the cause of building and reviving an advanced Vietnamese culture imbued with national identity.
Thereby, all levels, sectors and the entire political system have increasingly had a more correct perception and acted more positively and effectively on the issue of cultural and social development in accordance with the spirit that the General Secretary has repeatedly emphasized: "Comprehensive and synchronous economic and social development; closely and harmoniously combining economic development with cultural and social development; implementing social progress and equity in every policy and every step".
In 2022, after 10 years of re-establishing the Central Steering Committee on anti-corruption, this work always closely follows the Resolution of the 13th National Party Congress and the directions of the General Secretary, Head of the Central Steering Committee on anti-corruption.
New regulations on the functions and tasks of the Central Steering Committee have been issued, supplementing and expanding the functions and tasks of directing the prevention and fight against corruption and negativity, with the focus emphasized by General Secretary Nguyen Phu Trong on "preventing and combating the degradation of political ideology, ethics, and lifestyle among cadres and party members, considering this the root of all problems". At the same time, a provincial Steering Committee on the prevention and fight against corruption and negativity has been established to overcome the situation of "hot above, cold below". Step by step perfecting the "four no's" institutions and policies in the prevention and fight against corruption and negativity to: "don't dare", "can't", "don't want", "don't need" corruption and negativity.
The book Building a clean and strong Party and political system, contributing to the successful implementation of the Resolution of the 13th National Party Congress selects typical articles, speeches, interviews, letters, telegrams,... of General Secretary Nguyen Phu Trong in 2023, demonstrating the close and dedicated direction of the head of our Party on important issues of the country in 2023 - the pivotal year for implementing the Resolution of the 13th National Party Congress.
Based on an objective assessment of the results achieved in the first half of the term of implementing the Resolution of the 13th National Party Congress in all fields, the General Secretary specifically analyzed the limitations and weaknesses and pointed out the causes, suggesting directions and tasks for sectors, levels and localities to develop specific action programs with goals to strive for, join hands, be more determined, and make more efforts; promote the spirit of creativity, the role and responsibility of each person, quickly seize opportunities and advantages, overcome difficulties and challenges, and excellently complete all tasks. Regarding the implementation of socio-economic development tasks, speaking at the mid-term Conference (7th Central Conference), the General Secretary affirmed: In a very special context with many unexpected difficulties and challenges, "thanks to the high determination and efforts, great and persistent contributions of the entire Party, the entire people and the entire army, we have successfully and quite comprehensively achieved the goals and tasks:
“Focusing on disease prevention, control and control while promoting socio-economic recovery and development, building an independent and self-reliant economy associated with proactive and active international integration, deeply and effectively”.
In 2023, economic growth will reach more than 5%, a high level compared to other countries in the region and the world; for the first time, our country's GDP will reach 430 billion USD, ranking 3rd in ASEAN and among the 40 largest economies in the world, the top 20 economies in terms of trade and attracting foreign investment.
During the 13th National Congress term, especially in 2023, Vietnam's foreign affairs activities will continue to be vibrant and continuous, achieving many important results, becoming impressive highlights, contributing significantly to maintaining a peaceful and stable environment, facilitating socio-economic development, and enhancing the country's position and prestige in the international arena.
Under the leadership of the Party Central Committee, headed by General Secretary Nguyen Phu Trong, we continue to promote the Ho Chi Minh era's foreign policy and diplomacy, imbued with the identity of the "Vietnamese bamboo tree", "firm roots, strong trunk, flexible branches", imbued with the soul, character and spirit of the Vietnamese people: Soft, clever, but very resilient. State visits, official visits, phone calls, talks, especially more than 40 visits by key leaders of our Party and State to neighboring countries, major countries, ASEAN countries, many important strategic partners and traditional friends have been very successful.
Notably, in 2023, General Secretary and President of the People's Republic of China Xi Jinping paid a State visit to Vietnam. For the first time in history, US President Joe Biden accepted the invitation of the General Secretary of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of Vietnam to pay a State visit to Vietnam. General Secretary of the Communist Party of Vietnam Nguyen Phu Trong, President of the Cambodian People's Party (CPP) Samdech Techo Hun Sen and General Secretary of the Lao People's Revolutionary Party and President of Laos Thongloun Sisoulith had a high-level meeting between Vietnam, Cambodia and Laos. To date, our Party has had relations with 253 parties in 115 countries around the world, including 92 communist parties, 63 ruling parties, 38 parties participating in the ruling coalition, participating in politics...
Regarding state diplomatic relations, Vietnam has expanded and deepened relations with 193 countries, including 3 special relations, 6 comprehensive strategic partners, 12 strategic partners and 12 comprehensive partners; becoming an active and responsible member of most regional and international organizations and forums. Regarding people-to-people foreign relations, Vietnamese organizations and unions have established cooperative and friendly relations with more than 1,200 foreign organizations and partners.
A highlight of 2023, consistently and consistently expressed in the book of General Secretary Nguyen Phu Trong, is that the work of building the Party and the political system continues to have many innovations and positive changes, achieving important results, and combining more harmoniously and smoothly between "building" and "fighting". The General Secretary requested:
Continue to implement the goal of building a clean, honest, and strong Government and local authorities; effectively implement the planning of leadership cadres at all levels, prepare for Party Congresses at all levels for the 2025-2030 term, select and arrange the right people who are truly virtuous, talented, honest, dedicated, and devoted to the country and the people into leadership positions of the state apparatus. At the same time, urgently and seriously summarize theoretical and practical issues over nearly 40 years of renovation.
With the spirit of "no stopping, no resting", "no forbidden areas, no exceptions, no matter who it is", under the leadership of the General Secretary, Head of the Central Steering Committee on anti-corruption and negativity, in 2023, the fight against corruption and negativity will continue to be deployed drastically, synchronously, comprehensively, and methodically, creating a great deterrent and warning. Many serious economic and corruption cases, especially "big cases", continue to be discovered, investigated, prosecuted, prosecuted, and strictly tried, which are welcomed, highly appreciated, and supported by cadres, party members, and the people.
With many new, in-depth and synchronous approaches, the Provincial Steering Committee on anti-corruption and anti-negativity has created new, comprehensive and more effective changes, actively contributing to building an increasingly clean and strong Party. Awareness and responsibility of Party committees and organizations, pioneering and exemplary role of cadres, Party members and leaders in propaganda, mobilization and implementation of the Party's policies and guidelines have been enhanced.
The results achieved in the three years of 2021-2023 are important, but in the coming time, the international situation will develop rapidly and become more complicated. In the country, besides opportunities and advantages, there are limitations, weaknesses, difficulties and challenges. The General Secretary repeatedly reminded: "We absolutely must not be subjective, complacent, or too intoxicated with the results and achievements we have achieved, because our country is still facing many difficulties and great challenges, especially the fierce and newly emerging difficulties and challenges".
2024 - a pivotal year, of special significance in successfully implementing the Resolution of the 13th National Party Congress, the General Secretary pointed out: "Focus on prioritizing promoting and improving growth quality, creating jobs, increasing income for workers on the basis of maintaining macroeconomic stability, ensuring major economic balances, and ensuring social security.
Continue to closely monitor the international and domestic situation to promptly make appropriate and effective decisions; strive to achieve the highest level of the main goals and targets of 2023 and the entire 13th term.
He believes that with the results achieved and the experience gained, along with “new spirit and new motivation, our entire Party, people and army will continue to unite, join hands, be of one mind, strive, be determined and make greater efforts; be more proactive and creative, wisely seize opportunities and advantages, firmly overcome difficulties and challenges, successfully complete the goals and tasks set for the entire 13th term, and build our country to become increasingly developed, strong, prosperous, civilized and happy, as Uncle Ho and our entire Party, people and army always expect”.
The General Secretary's speeches, articles, talks, interviews, letters, telegrams, etc. demonstrate the comprehensive and strategic leadership and direction of the head of our Party on important issues of the country. However, he is also very close to each industry, each field, each locality; cares and shares with specific situations facing unexpected incidents, and sympathizes with families and people in difficult circumstances.
That power of persuasion and gathering is a source of motivation and great spiritual strength to mobilize the entire Party, the entire army and the entire people to unite and overcome difficulties and challenges, determined to create a breakthrough, making the country increasingly rich, prosperous, civilized and happy.
