" Distinguished leaders of the Party, State, and Vietnam Fatherland Front ,
Distinguished members of the National Assembly ,
Dear fellow citizens and voters nationwide!
In accordance with the Constitution, the Law on Government Organization, and relevant legal provisions, the Government has submitted to the National Assembly Deputies a full report and a summary report on its work during the 2021-2026 term. At this morning's session, the Prime Minister reported on the socio-economic situation in 2025 and the five-year period from 2021-2025; and the direction and tasks for 2026. This represents the comprehensive and outstanding achievements of the past term. Based on the Government's tasks as stipulated in the Constitution, I will present a summary of some key points regarding the review of the Government's work during this term as follows:
1. Regarding the organization and implementation of the Constitution and laws.
The Government and the Prime Minister have seriously implemented and issued 116 programs and action plans to effectively organize the implementation of the Constitution, laws, resolutions, and conclusions of the Party and the National Assembly. They regularly monitor, inspect, and urge the implementation of tasks and solutions in various fields; over the past five years, the Prime Minister and Deputy Prime Ministers have made more than 400 working trips to localities and grassroots levels to inspect and guide the implementation of the Constitution and laws, thoroughly understand the practical situation, and promptly resolve difficulties and obstacles. Discipline and order in the organization and implementation of laws have been tightened; the responsibility of leaders has been emphasized, and resources have been ensured for law enforcement. Decentralization and delegation of power have been promoted according to the motto "local authorities decide, local authorities act, local authorities are responsible," coupled with appropriate resource allocation and increased inspection, supervision, and control of power. This contributes to fostering proactiveness and flexibility at the local level, unlocking and freeing up resources for development. As a result, the Constitution and laws are respected and strictly enforced. Resolutions of the National Assembly have been implemented promptly and effectively, making a significant contribution to promoting socio-economic development, ensuring national defense, security, and foreign relations.
2. Regarding policy and lawmaking
The Government and the Prime Minister have reformed their thinking in lawmaking, shifting from "management" to "development-oriented" approaches, and from "pre-approval" to "post-approval"; proactively and actively proposing numerous draft laws with open and constructive mechanisms and policies, contributing to the completion of the socialist rule of law and the socialist-oriented market economy, and promptly addressing bottlenecks and obstacles in the mechanisms. The Government has held 45 specialized sessions on lawmaking; submitted to the National Assembly a Resolution on some special mechanisms and policies to create breakthroughs in lawmaking and implementation; passed 180 laws, ordinances, and resolutions (including this session), the highest number ever; and issued 1,400 resolutions and 820 decrees.

Through strategic breakthroughs, the Government has continuously improved institutions, forming a comprehensive and synchronized legal framework for the governance and development of the country.
3. Regarding the management of the economy, culture, society, environment, national defense, security, and foreign affairs.
The five-year socio-economic report has fully and comprehensively summarized the country's situation during the past term. I would like to highlight the following outstanding achievements:
3.1. The macroeconomic situation is stable and growth is high. Monetary policy is managed proactively, flexibly, promptly, and effectively, coordinating synchronously and harmoniously with a reasonable and focused expansionary fiscal policy; focusing on the vigorous disbursement of public investment capital; controlling public debt and the state budget deficit within prescribed limits. Focusing on directing the development of the domestic market and boosting exports; increasing revenue, saving on expenditures, and concentrating resources on development investment. As a result, despite facing instability, epidemics, and natural disasters, the economy has continued to grow at a high rate, with each year surpassing the previous one, bringing the size of the economy to 32nd in the world and making it an upper-middle-income country. This is a major bright spot highly appreciated internationally.

Faced with the severe COVID-19 situation, the Government focused on mobilizing resources and successfully implemented a vaccine diplomacy strategy. Although not a vaccine-producing country, Vietnam provided free vaccinations to its entire population, effectively protecting the lives and health of its people, earning high praise from the world. The country steadfastly pursued a "dual objective," quickly turning the tide and shifting to a state of "safe, flexible adaptation and effective control of the COVID-19 pandemic," creating the groundwork for the early reopening of the economy.
