In his address, General Secretary and State President Lâm demanded their absolute loyalty to the Party’s goals and ideals, firm political mettle, and strict compliance with organisational discipline. He instructed the officials to lead by example, match words with action, and put the interests of the nation, Party and people above all else. Party committees must function as true hubs of leadership, uphold discipline, and ensure proper directions in their assigned areas.

The leader underscored the need to fortify Party building in every agency and unit, maintain strict discipline, elevate the quality of Party activities, and conduct rigorous self-criticism and criticism. He called for intensified inspection and supervision, along with early detection and prevention of violations, to stop minor lapses from snowballing into serious problems.

He also stressed building a strong contingent of officials through objective, comprehensive evaluations, correct personnel placement, and the outright rejection of factionalism, vested interests, responsibility avoidance and bureaucratic inertia. He urged protection of and encouragement for proactive, innovative and accountable officials, while grooming a capable, ethical and devoted younger generation of leaders.

In his speech, General Giang pledged to translate the directions into concrete action plans tailored to each Party organisation’s functions and responsibilities.

He reaffirmed unwavering loyalty to the Party, State and people, vowing to uphold unity, discipline and democracy while harnessing collective brainpower in following Party guidelines and State policies and laws.

In the foreseeable future, he said, priority will be given to effectively realising the 14th National Party Congress’s Resolution, the Party and State leaders’ directives, and resolutions of individual Party organisations, while continuing to build revolutionary, regular, elite and modern army and police forces. He also urged enhancing the strategic advisory capacity of central Party agencies and the core role of the VFF and socio-political organisations in pooling national unity and resources for development.

He expressed hope for continued leadership, coordination and support from the Party Central Committee, its Politburo and Secretariat, ministries, agencies and localities, as well as the contributions of officials, Party members and the public, to successfully fulfill all assigned tasks. — VNA/VNS
