Accelerate, Break through right on the first day of Spring
Right on the first working day after Tet, the operating message for 2026 of Vietnam Post Corporation has been identified and clearly conveyed to the entire network as "Acceleration and Breakthrough", associated with discipline and data governance.
Speaking at the Spring gathering program, Mr. Chu Quang Hao, General Director of the Corporation, said that 2026 will have a lot of pressure, increasingly fierce competition; e-commerce, logistics and digital finance are developing rapidly; customer requirements are increasingly high, requiring the Corporation's activities and services to be faster, safer, and more convenient.
In 2026, the entire system will continue to put customers at the center; build a clear operating data system, measure results in real time; strengthen the responsibility of heads. The Corporation will focus on areas that create added value and optimize costs to improve labor productivity.
Immediately after the Tet holiday, units simultaneously started working, deploying key tasks with specific progress at the General Corporation, Provincial and City Post Office, and Commune and Ward Post Office levels.
Leaders of the Corporation requested the entire network from the Corporation to units, each employee to immediately start working with the determination to accelerate and break through right from the first day of the new year; not to let the "spring atmosphere" pass by in a formalistic way.
On the first working day of the Binh Ngo year, Deputy Minister of Science and Technology Pham Duc Long and the working delegation visited and wished Tet to Vietnam Post Office.
