Concluding the National Conference to disseminate and implement Resolution No. 66-NQ/TW and Resolution No. 68-NQ/TW of the Politburo, on the morning of May 18, General Secretary To Lam delivered an important speech emphasizing the important significance of renewing thinking on building a rule-of-law state, organizing law enforcement as well as mobilizing and strongly developing the private economic sector as a strategic driving force for the country's socio-economic development.

"The Four Pillars" to Help the Country Take Off

General Secretary To Lam emphasized that we are witnessing unprecedented profound changes on a global scale in geopolitics, geo-economics, strategic competition, the strong shift of economic centers, the explosion of science and technology, along with challenges in climate change, energy security, traditional and non-traditional security.

"These movements create both challenges and opportunities for all countries. Those who seize the opportunities and overcome the challenges will succeed. Otherwise, the results will be the opposite and will fall into the situation of 'slow buffalo drinking muddy water'," General Secretary To Lam noted.

General Secretary To Lam emphasized that after nearly 40 years of persistently implementing the Doi Moi process, our country has achieved great achievements, one could say great achievements: Continuous economic growth, improved people's lives, and constantly consolidated international position.

"We have the right to be proud, but we must also frankly admit 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, reform, promote all resources and motivations in society and among the people, to implement them in a profound, comprehensive, drastic manner, and to be determined to achieve the great goals set out.

The innovations and reforms that we are implementing are not only objective requirements of development but also orders from the nation's future," the General Secretary emphasized.

According to General Secretary To Lam, the innovations and reforms focus on four breakthroughs: Resolution No. 57-NQ/TW dated December 22, 2024 of the Politburo on breakthroughs in science, technology, innovation and national digital transformation; Resolution No. 59-NQ/TW dated January 24, 2025 of the Politburo on "International integration in the new situation"; Resolution No. 66-NQ/TW on innovation in law-making and enforcement to meet the requirements of national development in the new era; Resolution No. 68-NQ/TW dated May 4, 2025 of the Politburo on private economic development.

"Up to now, the four Resolutions above can be called the "Quad Pillars" to help us take off. Therefore, I call on the entire political system, the entire Party, the entire people and the entire army to join hands, unite, overcome all difficulties, turn aspirations into actions, turn potential into real strength, to together bring our country into a new era - an era of development, prosperity and strength of the Vietnamese people", General Secretary To Lam affirmed.

According to the General Secretary, looking to the future, we clearly identify that if we want to develop quickly and sustainably, Vietnam cannot follow the old path. We must dare to think big, act big, carry out major reforms with the highest political determination and the most persistent efforts.

"The four important Resolutions issued by the Politburo recently will be the fundamental institutional pillars, creating strong momentum to move our country forward in the new era, realizing the vision of a developed, high-income Vietnam by 2045," the General Secretary emphasized.

All resolutions emphasize the unified leadership role of the Party, the synchronous and creative participation of the entire political system, and the substantial participation of businesses, people and intellectuals. Implementation axes such as law enforcement, digital transformation, innovation, private sector development and international integration require close coordination, regular inspection, supervision and effective evaluation.

Deploy tasks quickly, systematically and practically

The General Secretary pointed out the key tasks in the next 5 years (2025-2030) as follows: Perfecting a modern and synchronous legal system to promote development.

The General Secretary emphasized that 2025 is a pivotal year opening a new era, while the goal of becoming a developed country is only two decades away. If we do not catch up with the pace of reform and do not create breakthroughs right now, we will miss the golden opportunity and fall behind in the global race.

Therefore, regarding urgent tasks in 2025, the General Secretary suggested that the tasks should be implemented quickly, systematically, and substantially, taking actual effectiveness as the evaluation criterion; the entire political system should urgently carry out 8 key tasks.

Firstly, quickly complete and issue national action programs and plans to implement the four resolutions, ensuring close cohesion, clearly defining goals, tasks, roadmaps and specific assignments. At the same time, establish a set of indicators for periodic monitoring and evaluation.

Second, urgently review the entire legal system, implement amendments, supplements, replacements or abolishes inappropriate regulations in accordance with the spirit of Resolution 66-NQ/TW...

Third, immediately launch key programs on science and technology, innovation and digital transformation; approve and implement national programs; form new innovation centers; and build a legal framework for the sandbox model.

Fourth, focus on negotiating and effectively implementing new-generation FTAs, proactively preparing to participate in new agreements, taking advantage of integration commitments to transform into actual growth...

Fifth, make breakthroughs in improving the business investment environment: Cut at least 30% of administrative procedures, digitize public services, support capital, technology, and digital transformation for small and medium-sized enterprises; develop a project to develop large private corporations.

Sixth, perfect the leadership, direction and coordination apparatus to implement resolutions; establish specialized steering committees at central and provincial levels; ensure a unified steering mechanism, regular inspection and supervision.

Seventh, prioritize training and fostering human resources to implement the resolution: in-depth training in modern law, science and technology, international integration and corporate governance; foster a team of young cadres with innovative thinking, digital capacity and global adaptability.

Eighth, promote communication and create social consensus: develop national communication programs on each resolution; strengthen policy dialogue between the Government, businesses, people and intellectuals, and mobilize social intelligence for the implementation process.

Leaders at all levels, from central to local, must be exemplary and pioneers in innovation in thinking and action.

The General Secretary affirmed that, more than ever, the Central Executive Committee is a united, determined, and resolute bloc to lead the entire Party, people, and army to achieve and exceed the targets set by the Resolution of the 13th National Party Congress, and to prepare well to bring the country into an era of development, prosperity, and happiness.

Since the 13th Central Committee's 10th Conference (September 2024) up to now, 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.

Resolutely implementing the content of Resolution 18 of the Central Executive Committee on "a number of issues to continue innovating and reorganizing the apparatus of the political system to be streamlined and operate effectively and efficiently"; building a two-level local government; rearranging administrative units to "take off"... the above tasks are not only seriously implemented by cadres and party members, but more importantly, most people in the country follow, agree, support, and consider this to be a true revolution of the country in the new period.

To realize the aspiration to develop a prosperous and powerful country, the entire Party, the entire people and the entire army must continue to unite, join hands, promote the spirit of patriotism, the will of self-reliance and the strong aspiration to rise up of the Vietnamese people in the new era. Because "knowing how to unite, knowing how to unite/ no matter how difficult the task is, we can complete it", the General Secretary requested: "The entire Party, the entire people and the entire army must clearly define their roles and responsibilities; be proactive, creative, united in patriotic emulation, determined to successfully carry out the tasks of socio-economic development, national defense, security and improving people's lives, making people's lives truly better and better. Every cadre, party member, every Vietnamese citizen must become a pioneer soldier on the front of national development".

The General Secretary noted that leaders at all levels, from the central to local levels, must be exemplary and pioneers in innovation in thinking and action; dare to think, dare to do, dare to make breakthroughs, dare to take responsibility for the national interest, and even dare to sacrifice personal interests for the common interest. Action programs must be implemented resolutely and methodically, taking actual effectiveness as a measure of capacity and work results. Continue to make recommendations and proposals to build new Resolutions according to the motto "All benefits are for the people. All powers belong to the people" as Uncle Ho taught.

People and businesses must be identified as the center and creative subjects in development; it is necessary to strongly foster the spirit of national entrepreneurship, arouse innovation resources in the whole society, develop the digital economy, knowledge economy, green economy, circular economy, and bring Vietnam to progress quickly and strongly on the path of modernization and integration.

With the heroic tradition, intelligence, bravery and unceasing aspiration of the entire nation, General Secretary To Lam believes that Vietnam will continue to move forward steadily on the path of rapid and sustainable development. Each Party Committee, government, organization and individual needs to clearly define their responsibilities, turn political commitments into concrete and practical results; let's together light the flame of Innovation - Aspiration - Action, for a rich, prosperous, powerful Vietnam, standing shoulder to shoulder with the world powers by 2045.
