The 11th National Congress of the Vietnam Fatherland Front, term 2026-2031 with the theme "Solidarity - Democracy - Innovation - Creativity - Development" took place from May 11 to 13 at the National Convention Center (Hanoi City), with more than 1,300 official delegates attending.
Before the Congress, workers, farmers and ethnic minorities expressed many expectations for the role of the Vietnam Fatherland Front in caring for people's lives, protecting legitimate rights and continuing to consolidate the great national unity bloc in the new period.
Workers hope for more support policies
Ms. Duong Thi My Phung - Deputy Training Manager of Maia Quy Nhon Sea Tourism Joint Stock Company - shared that besides income, many workers in the resort industry still face no small pressure from the specific characteristics of the service profession.
Working in shifts, including holidays, Tet or weekends, makes workers have less time for their families. At many important times, they cannot be with their loved ones, so sometimes they feel sad.
Not only that, many workers in the tourism - resort industry are also worried about career development opportunities when they are older. Because this industry requires health, appearance, adaptability and high work intensity, not everyone can pursue the profession for a long time.
Therefore, workers in this industry want to be trained, improve their skills or have a clear career path to continue to stick with the profession, even when they are no longer at their peak age.
Before the Congress, Ms. Phung hopes that the Vietnam Fatherland Front will have more practical policies and activities to support workers to stabilize their lives and feel secure in sticking with the profession for a long time.
She also proposed that there should be more policies to support housing, kindergartens, and tuition fees for children of workers and laborers to reduce the pressure of life and feel secure at work.
In the context of the service industry changing very rapidly, I hope there will be more free training classes on foreign languages, technology and management skills so that workers have more opportunities to develop themselves and stick with the tourism - resort industry for a long time," Ms. Phung expressed.
Farmers worry about output, planting area code
Mr. Nguyen Thanh Tuan (born 1968, residing in Linh Nham village, Mang Yang commune) said that his family grows coffee and durian according to a combined model on an area of 3.5ha. Although the products are of good quality and beautiful appearance, his family as well as many farm households in the locality still face difficulties in finding stable outlets for agricultural products.
According to Mr. Tuan, currently durian purchasing units all require products to have a planting area code. Meanwhile, people have long been familiar with traditional production methods, so they are very confused in completing procedures for issuing planting area codes for products.
People hope to soon receive support and specific guidance on regulations on planting area codes so that products have a stable output," Mr. Tuan proposed.
Before the Congress, Mr. Tuan hoped that the Vietnam Fatherland Front would continue to pay attention to supporting farmers to develop production, stabilize agricultural output, limit the situation of bumper crops but price drops; tighten management of poor quality fertilizers and pesticides; invest in irrigation, electricity and transportation infrastructure to serve production...
People in difficult areas expect change
Canh Tien village, Canh Vinh commune is home to nearly 100% of Cham and Bana people. This is a particularly difficult area, the poverty and near-poverty rate in 2025 accounts for nearly 50%. Because in isolated areas, it was not until the end of April 2025 that the village had national grid electricity and by October 2025 there was a road into the village.
Sending expectations ahead of the Congress, Mr. Dinh Van Quanh - Village Head of Canh Tien - representing local people, hopes that the Vietnam Fatherland Front will continue to promote its role as a bridge between the Party, State and people; pay more attention to the lives of ethnic minorities, especially supporting livelihoods, sustainable poverty reduction, creating jobs, taking care of health, education and learning conditions for children in difficult areas.
Hoping that the Vietnam Fatherland Front will continue to accompany in preserving and promoting the traditional cultural identity of the Bana people such as gongs, traditional festivals, handicrafts and community cultural values; pay attention to investing in cultural institutions, helping the younger generation understand and be proud of their national culture.
Compatriots expect the Vietnam Fatherland Front to continue to promote the strength of the great national unity bloc, listen to the thoughts and aspirations of the People; promote solidarity movements to help each other develop the economy, build new rural areas, maintain security and order, protect the environment and build a cultural life in residential areas. Thereby contributing to building Canh Vinh homeland to become increasingly developed, united and rich in identity.
