HÀ NỘI – A coordinated push on four key Politburo resolutions will drive fresh momentum and strong breakthroughs across Việt Nam, Party General Secretary Tô Lâm said, highlighting the documents’ focus on international integration, national energy security, education and training, and public health.
Speaking at a national conference in Hà Nội on Tuesday to promote the implementation of these resolutions, the General Secretary underscored their shared goal: putting people and businesses at the heart of development, with tangible results as the main measure of success.
The resolutions include No 59-NQ/TW on international integration in the new context; No 70-NQ/TW ensuring national energy security through 2030, with a vision to 2045; No 71-NQ/TW on education and training breakthroughs; and No 72-NQ/TW outlining solutions to enhance public health protection and care.
He emphasised that every agency, organisation and individual must translate these resolutions into concrete action plans, with clear resources, timelines, measurable indicators and accountability.
The Party chief called on the entire political system to implement the resolutions consistently, transparently and promptly at every level, ensuring no one is left behind.
To ensure unified direction, smooth coordination and effective implementation at the grassroots level, the Party chief called for establishing a central steering committee for each resolution or a single body to oversee all the Politburo resolutions.
He also proposed creating a publicly accessible 'digital dashboard,' updated weekly and monthly, to track core indicators, identify bottlenecks and monitor progress. Independent experts and policy assessment units may be invited to review solutions and provide objective evaluation and feedback, he said.
Regarding Resolution 59, the leader said it identifies international integration as a strategic driver, with domestic strength playing a decisive role. He emphasised the need to strengthen internal capacity while leveraging external resources, closely linking integration with safeguarding national interests, and pursuing both cooperation and competition.
On Resolution 70, he noted its core goal is to ensure an energy system that is safe, stable and equipped with reliable reserves; sufficient for production and daily needs; transitioning towards greener, low-emission sources; operating smartly on a digital foundation; and offering reasonable, transparent costs. By 2030, the resolution targets a minimum reserve margin of 15 per cent, significant reductions in power losses, a higher share of clean energy aligned with planning, and the development of a competitive, transparent electricity market with a clear roadmap.
The General Secretary outlined 10 major groups of measures, including stronger investment in transmission and storage, particularly 500kV lines and smart grids; diversifying funding sources; developing a competitive power market with a clear roadmap, standardised long-term reference pricing and greater transparency; and diversifying fuels with LNG reserves supported by adequate storage, pipelines and long-term contracts, as well as strategic coal and gas backups.
He emphasised three priorities: institutional reforms; facilitating private-sector participation in renewable energy, power transmission and distribution; and ensuring energy development aligns with the socialist-oriented market economy while advancing social progress, equity and welfare, safeguarding national defence and security and protecting the environment.
For Resolution 71, he stressed that education and training are defined as the foremost national policy and a key driver of national development. Education and training should follow the principle of 'quality as the core, teachers as the key and technology as the lever.'
Touching on Resolution 72, the General Secretary highlighted goals to extend healthy life expectancy, reduce out-of-pocket expenses for patients, digitalise the health system, strengthen primary healthcare and improve service quality and patient satisfaction.
The leader stressed that the country’s new growth drivers stem from the organic links among the resolutions, explaining that international integration opens the door to the world, while stable and green energy is a prerequisite for production, schools and hospitals. He added that high-quality education and training will supply engineers, doctors and public service managers. A modern health system with strong preventive foundations will keep people healthy so they can study, work and innovate.
The General Secretary called for joint efforts to turn aspirations into actions, actions into results and results into renewed trust. VNA/VNS
