Reviewing the important, comprehensive and overall results last year, PM Chính noted high economic growth, macroeconomic stability and assurance of major balances.

He mentioned significant results in perfecting institutions and laws, breakthrough and comprehensive development in strategic infrastructure across transport, urban areas, energy, telecommunications, high technology, culture, education and health, creating foundations and opening new development spaces.

The entire Government Party Committee completed a huge volume of work in a short time, ensuring smooth operation of the two-tier local governance model.

The Government Party Committee focused on comprehensively leading and directing culture, society, education and health sectors, improving people's material and spiritual lives and healthcare.

Political, ideological and ethical Party building work was carried out seriously and systematically. Organisational work was attentively implemented strictly and tightly.

In particular, the Government Party Committee comprehensively directed the congresses of Party committees at all levels, successfully organising the first Government Party Committee Congress for the 2025-2030 term, paving the way to the 14th National Party Congress.
