According to Mr. Le Quoc Phong, this year's gathering is of special significance as Ho Chi Minh City enters a stage of development with a new face: larger scale in terms of area, population, potential and competitiveness.
The city also integrates historical values and heroic revolutionary traditions of Ba Ria - Vung Tau and Binh Duong, creating a new comprehensive strength for the entire region.
According to Mr. Le Quoc Phong, promoting the tradition of more than 50 years after liberation and 40 years of implementing renovation, Ho Chi Minh City has constantly strived to rise up, always playing a pioneering role in renovation, being dynamic, creative, daring to think, daring to do, and daring to take responsibility.
The city has gradually affirmed its position as the leading economic locomotive of the country, a major center of economy, culture, science - technology, education - training and international integration.
Stepping into 2026, city leaders said that Ho Chi Minh City will continue to ignite and strongly promote the tradition of solidarity, dynamism, and creativity in the entire political system.
The city focuses on creating a vibrant emulation atmosphere among cadres and civil servants; encouraging initiatives and improvements in public service performance; improving management efficiency, serving people and businesses.

2026 also has special significance when the city celebrates the 50th anniversary of being honored to be named after President Ho Chi Minh and the 115th anniversary of patriotic youth Nguyen Tat Thanh leaving to find a way to save the country at Nha Rong Wharf.
