HÀ NỘI — Party General Secretary and State President Tô Lâm, head of the sub-committee for documents of the 14th National Party Congress, chaired a meeting on Tuesday to discuss the draft political report that will be submitted to the congress.

The event, held in Hà Nội, witnessed the attendance of Prime Minister Phạm Minh Chính, National Assembly Chairman Trần Thanh Mẫn, and permanent member of the Party Central Committee's Secretariat Lương Cường.

The draft report was developed based on a detailed outline that was approved during the 9th session of the 13th-tenure Party Central Committee.

General Secretary and President Tô Lâm emphasised that the political report serves as a central document, so it must ensure a unified understanding of the beginning of the country’s new development era after 40 years of implementing “Đổi mới” (Renewal). It should also evoke pride, self-reliance, and confidence among cadres, Party members, and the public in the Party’s right and insightful guidelines, as well as in the goals and path toward socialism chosen by late President Hồ Chí Minh and the entire nation.

He called for a continued commitment to thoroughly understanding the directives of the late Party General Secretary Nguyễn Phú Trọng, particularly the three fundamental principles for drafting documents: steadfastness and reform, inheritance and development, and the harmonious integration of theory with practice. Additionally, he stressed the importance of studying theory and reviewing reality to formulate effective policies.

To ensure that the political report genuinely reflects the intellectual property of the Party, he urged the sub-committee and the editorial team to foster an atmosphere of openness and mutual respect for each other’s opinions. They should strive to achieve a strong consensus, especially on new and complex issues, and carefully evaluate the documents being released. Additionally, it is essential to incorporate insights from former leaders, intellectuals, researchers, and officials. The team must also give due consideration to the findings of domestic and international scientific studies, as well as effective methods and innovative models that have emerged over the past 40 years of “Đổi mới.”

As the 10th plenum of the Party Central Committee is approaching, utmost efforts are required to continue perfecting the draft to submit it to the meeting. The sub-committee, its permanent members, and the editorial team need to continue coordinating closely with other sub-committees and editorial teams to complete this extremely important work with the highest quality and on schedule, the leader added. — VNS
