General Secretary: There are provinces that develop thanks to asking for central budget, we cannot depend on that.

General Secretary To Lam stated that after nearly 40 years of implementing the Doi Moi process, our country has achieved great achievements.

"We have the right to be proud, but we must also frankly acknowledge that there are many fierce challenges ahead, requiring us not to be subjective, not to rest on our laurels, not to delay, and even more so to constantly innovate and reform...", the General Secretary stated.

Can't go back in time

The innovations and reforms focus on four breakthroughs: Resolution 57 on promoting science, technology and innovation; Resolution 59 on proactively integrating deeply into the international community; Resolution 68 on developing the private economy ; Resolution 66 on comprehensive innovation in law-making and enforcement.

General Secretary: We need a comprehensive, profound and synchronous reform, with new breakthroughs in institutions, economic structure, growth model and apparatus organization.

According to the General Secretary, the above four Resolutions are the “four pillars” for the country to take off. The General Secretary called on the entire political system, the entire Party, the entire people and the entire army to join hands and unite, overcome all difficulties, turn aspirations into actions, and turn potential into strength.

Regarding Resolution 68, the General Secretary said the resolution's birth represents a major step forward in the Party's theoretical thinking and practical direction.

In a socialist-oriented market economy, the private economy is the most important driving force of the national economy. Building a socialist-oriented market economy, with State management, under the leadership of the Party.

The General Secretary said that this viewpoint marked a profound change in strategic awareness of the role of the private sector. It was from a secondary position to a pillar of development, working alongside the state economy and the collective economy, forming a solid “tripod” for an independent, self-reliant and successfully integrated economy.

In response to concerns from some businesses, the General Secretary also affirmed the leading role of state-owned enterprises, not just emphasizing the role of the private economy.

The resolution affirms that Vietnamese entrepreneurs are “soldiers on the economic front” in the new era. They not only contribute to enriching themselves but also carry out the noble mission of building a strong and prosperous country.

The General Secretary analyzed that everyone must work and produce products for society so that society can be rich and developed. No one can have a stagnant life. Everyone has the right to pursue a life of development and happiness, and must contribute to the common development of the whole society. Everyone has the desire to develop, contribute, and innovate.

The Party and the State have the responsibility to ensure that everyone can exercise their basic human rights as well as the whole society.

Citing the role of private enterprises in development, the General Secretary said that in Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City, there are districts with budget revenues many times higher than those of a province. For example, Hoan Kiem district mainly relies on private enterprises, business and services for development.

While the provinces have a lot of potential, they cannot produce, cannot do business, cannot develop private enterprises, and mainly rely on public investment.

"Some comrades told me that the province's development path is mainly to the Central Government to ask for budget and plans. We cannot depend on it like that," the General Secretary pointed out. Because the money people save in banks is very large because they cannot do business, cannot produce, cannot open enterprises. So how can the province collect taxes and the people have a hard time.

In poor provinces, businesses do not develop. The General Secretary said that just one large business can contribute tens of thousands of billions to the province's revenue. "Many provinces are in difficulty not because they lack money but because they do not have ways to develop. The money collected by banks is brought back to other provinces to spend, not spent in their own province, which is a great disadvantage...", the General Secretary said.

According to the General Secretary, Resolution 68 lays the foundation for a comprehensive transformation in private economic development policy: from "recognition" to "protection, encouragement, and promotion", from "support" to "leading development".

This is the right, urgent, long-term strategic choice, aiming to realize the aspiration of developing a strong country by the middle of the 21st century.

General Secretary: To develop quickly and sustainably, Vietnam cannot follow the old path. We must dare to think big, act big, and carry out major reforms with the highest political determination and the most persistent efforts.

Regarding Resolution 66, the General Secretary said that the resolution affirms that law is not simply a tool to regulate social behavior, but must be considered the basis for organizing and operating state power, a solid foundation to protect human rights, civil rights and a lever to promote socio-economic development.

Legal institutions are the driving force and foundation for national development. The General Secretary emphasized that a synchronous, feasible and transparent legal system will create a stable environment for production and business, promote innovation, enhance international integration capacity and completely eliminate barriers caused by overlapping and contradictory laws.

The General Secretary said: "Fundamentally innovate the thinking of law-making: shift from management to service thinking, from passive to proactive, creating development. Law-making must be one step ahead, ensuring high predictability, consistent with reality and the requirements of rapid development.

Law enforcement must be strict, fair, and substantive; digital transformation must be associated with publicity, transparency, and maximum convenience for people and businesses. Decentralization and delegation of authority must be clear, linked to accountability, eliminating the "ask-give" mechanism, eliminating local interests and group privileges."

He affirmed that Resolution 66 is a call for profound institutional reform, aiming to build a modern, substantive legal system that serves the people, while creating a sustainable driving force for nation building.

The General Secretary also raised some views in Resolutions 57 and 59.

With unity of mind and strength, no matter how difficult the task, it can be accomplished.

"The four major resolutions of the Politburo have together created a unified whole of strategic thinking and action for the country's development in the new era. Although each resolution focuses on a key area, they are closely linked, complementing and promoting each other in the process of dissemination and implementation," the General Secretary informed.

The common breakthrough of the four resolutions is the new development mindset: from “management” to “service”, from “protection” to “creative competition”, from “passive integration” to “active integration”, from “dispersed reform” to “comprehensive, synchronous and profound breakthrough”.

The General Secretary outlined key tasks from now until 2030. These include perfecting a modern, synchronous legal system, promoting development; making breakthroughs in science, technology, innovation and digital transformation.

The General Secretary pointed out that the technical foundation determines the breakthrough in labor productivity and national competitiveness, "if we cannot do these things, AI cannot solve them either".

In addition, it is necessary to accelerate comprehensive, proactive and effective international integration; develop the private economic sector substantially, becoming "the most important driving force" of the national economy.

Since the 10th Central Conference (September 2024), the Politburo and the Secretariat have worked day and night to focus on solving many core issues, removing "bottlenecks", and creating new development space for the country.

The General Secretary called on the entire Party, people and army to continue to be united and join forces, "because knowing how to unite, knowing how to unite, no matter how difficult the task, we can complete it".
