Along with that, when cutting out the middleman and removing cumbersome administrative procedures, there will be advantages and disadvantages, so if we want to succeed, we must strive to overcome ourselves, turn nothing into something, turn difficult into easy, turn impossible into possible, the more pressure, the more effort, determination must be high, effort must be great, action must be decisive, do each thing properly, do each thing properly.
The Prime Minister stated that in this organizational revolution, the most important thing is to transform the state of the political apparatus (including Party agencies, government, Fatherland Front and socio-political organizations) from passively receiving and solving problems of people and businesses to creating, proactively serving and solving the work and problems of people and businesses.
To do so, we must be close to the people, stick to the people, the Party must increase its involvement at the grassroots level, the government must increase its involvement at the grassroots level, the Fatherland Front must increase its involvement at the grassroots level; especially listening to people's opinions, having solutions and actions appropriate to the situation and aspirations of the people, serving the people better. Strengthening decentralization and delegation of authority along with resource allocation, enhancing the sense of responsibility, improving the ability to execute and designing tools to strengthen supervision and inspection.
According to the Prime Minister, when we do very big and difficult things with limited resources, we must be united, unanimous, unanimous, synchronized, and comrades; share vision and action, work together, enjoy together, win together, and share joy, happiness, and pride when achieving results.
At the same time, promote and make the most of resources, especially not to waste material resources and development opportunities during the arrangement process.

The spirit is to learn from experience while doing, gradually expand, not be perfectionist, not hasty, during the implementation process, if there are difficulties or problems, continue to resolve them, in the spirit of resolving any problems, resolving any problems, not letting them stagnate.
