Unleash resources, decentralize, and delegate power strongly
This afternoon (January 23), the 13th Party Central Committee Conference solemnly opened in Hanoi.
One of the contents discussed at this conference is: The project to add a GDP growth target of 8% or more in 2025 and double-digit growth in the period 2026 - 2030.
According to VNA, in his opening speech, General Secretary To Lam emphasized that since the 10th Central Conference, the Politburo has led and directed many important contents to create a foundation for developing the country in the new era, especially in renewing thinking in law-making, perfecting institutions, removing bottlenecks, unblocking resources, strongly decentralizing and delegating power in conjunction with streamlining the political system's apparatus, operating effectively and efficiently, enhancing the completion of human resources infrastructure, especially new issues that promote growth.
General Secretary To Lam noted that this is the basis for us to set higher development targets, specifically by 2025 striving for GDP growth of 8% or more, creating momentum for continuous double-digit growth in the 2026-2030 period.
On the other hand, if we do not strive for the above goals, we will most likely not achieve the goals of the entire 2021-2025 period, will not be able to escape the middle-income trap, and will not be able to achieve the two goals by 2030 of becoming a developing country with modern industry and high average income, and by 2045 becoming a developed country with high income as set out by the 13th National Party Congress.
The General Secretary suggested that the Central Committee focus on discussing and giving opinions on these issues, especially solutions on how to remove bottlenecks, unblock resources, and take advantage of opportunities to maximize potential and advantages of the available space for rapid and sustainable development of the country, contributing to achieving the set goals in 2025 and the entire period of 2026 - 2030. It is very important for this content that each locality, ministry and sector must find out what needs to be done immediately and must resolutely implement those tasks immediately in order to achieve the set targets.
Strengthening personnel work
Regarding personnel work, the General Secretary stated that the Politburo will submit to the Central Committee policies and plans to perfect the Central Inspection Commission, add members to the Politburo and Secretariat, and introduce and arrange staff for agencies after arranging and perfecting a number of other tasks related to personnel work in order to gradually improve and strengthen the Party's leadership, ensuring that agencies in the political system operate effectively and efficiently, meeting the very high requirements for national development in the new era. These tasks create the premise for the work of organizing staff for the 14th National Party Congress.
Regarding the assessment and review of the management and direction of the Politburo and Secretariat in 2024, the report on inspection and supervision work in 2024 and the inspection and supervision program in 2025, the General Secretary requested the Central Committee to give opinions, especially on the content related to the management and direction of the Politburo and Secretariat.
“We only need you to acknowledge the parts that have been done well or the advantages. We will need you to focus on giving your opinions on the parts that have not been done well, the shortcomings, the contents that need to be corrected, adjusted, and implemented for the Politburo, the Secretariat, and even for each member of the Politburo and the Secretariat,” the General Secretary emphasized.
In the context of the new and urgent situation, requiring breakthroughs, decisiveness, determination, and unity from the policy proposal stage to implementation, the General Secretary requested the Central Committee members and delegates to promote a sense of responsibility, focus their intelligence, and contribute ideas to the contents so that the Conference can achieve its goals and requirements.
