According to the General Secretary, given the country's particularly important position and role, the Ministry of Interior must define its mission in building development, caring for social welfare, working with the Party and the State to care for the happiness of the people, and striving to contribute to building a national administration that is service-oriented, democratic, rule-of-law, modern, effective, and efficient, managing social development fairly and sustainably, and ensuring that no one is left behind.

Entering a new phase of development, the General Secretary requested the Ministry of Interior and the entire sector to focus on perfecting the institutional framework for state administration, public service, civil servants, and social policies; building a streamlined, high-quality workforce of officials and civil servants capable of fulfilling their tasks; pioneering digital transformation and administrative reform, becoming a model within the system; and promoting a central role in advising on and implementing social security policies, ensuring comprehensiveness, inclusiveness, and effectiveness.

Furthermore, the Ministry of Interior needs to continue to profoundly innovate its emulation and reward system to truly create widespread emulation movements with great impact, arousing the aspiration to contribute in the new era of development.

According to the General Secretary, historical practice has proven that patriotic emulation is not about noise or appeals, but the success of emulation movements lies in inspiring people, creating enthusiasm, and deeply penetrating their hearts and minds, becoming a natural way of thinking and doing, like a way of life. The General Secretary expressed: "I look forward to outstanding emulation movements in the coming period so that we can once again see the 'Coastal Waves,' 'Great Winds,' 'Three Best Flags'... all new and innovative in this new era of development."
