On the afternoon of January 14, at the international press conference on the 14th Party Congress, Mr. Nguyen Xuan Thang - Member of the Politburo, Director of the Ho Chi Minh National Academy of Politics, Chairman of the Central Theoretical Council provided information on the meaning and importance of the 14th Congress as well as new points in thinking and vision compared to previous Congresses.
Mr. Nguyen Xuan Thang emphasized that the 14th Party Congress is a political event of particularly important significance, of historical stature, marking the development of the country.
The message of the Congress is of historical significance, emphasizing the joint efforts to implement the goals and tasks to 2030 and realize the goal to 2045 to make Vietnam a developed country with high income.
Regarding the new points, Mr. Nguyen Xuan Thang affirmed that they are "very comprehensive", innovating from the content of document building, the way of expressing documents and organizing document implementation before the Congress. This new point, first of all, is reflected in the mindset with a focus on breakthroughs and completion of the country's rapid and sustainable development institution.
First, it is necessary to innovate in thinking, with the focus here being a complete breakthrough in institutions to develop the country quickly and sustainably. This time not only in economy but also in culture, society, people, national defense, security, foreign affairs, and Party building.
Second, be steadfast and at the same time further promote rapid and sustainable development. The content of rapid and sustainable development of the country also has many new points. Previously, when talking about rapid and sustainable development of the country in economic terms, we said that socio-economic development was the center but did not raise the issue of the environment.
This time, he emphasized that the environment, economy - society - environment are 3 important pillars, and we in many contents have mentioned the role of cultural identity and political stability. General Secretary To Lam has repeatedly emphasized that this is a point that we must continue to show very prominently in this Document, on principled issues.
That is, it must be very stable, politically and socially stable; macroeconomic stability, stability of the environment for development. And secondly, it must develop, develop to stabilize, develop breakthroughs and achieve goals, and thirdly, improve people's lives and happiness. To do that, a very new content that can be said throughout the draft Document is the establishment of a new growth model.
The proof is that we in 2025 are determined to achieve an economic growth rate of over 8% and the reality is that we have achieved 8.02%.
Third, we for the first time emphasize the determination of national defense and security along with foreign affairs, promoting integration is a regular key. Because we have recognized that the role of foreign affairs is extremely important, not just for the diplomatic sector but for the entire political system, combining the strength of the nation with the strength of the times.
This is also the issue of domestic and international resources, the issue of adapting to exploit the conditions in the development of the country when we have deeply integrated into the world and the region.
Many other new contents relate to science and technology, innovation with breakthroughs that we have seen; related to building a modern national education system, taking quality and output efficiency to adapt to new changes.
