Dear Politburo members, Secretariat members, Central Party Committee members,

Dear conference attendees

Implementing the entire working program, today the 13th Party Central Committee organized the 10th Conference.

The conference took place at a very special time: General Secretary Nguyen Phu Trong, an exceptionally outstanding leader, an ideologist, and the theoretical flag of the Party, left us at a time when the entire Party, people, and army were determined to successfully implement the Resolution of the 13th National Party Congress; Storm No. 3 caused extremely heavy losses in terms of human lives and property in most northern provinces and cities; when the entire Party, army, and people were focusing their utmost efforts to overcome the consequences caused by the storm...

On behalf of the Politburo and the Secretariat, I would like to welcome the Politburo members, Secretariat members, Central Committee members, and all delegates attending the conference; I wish you good health, happiness, and many successes in your work and life.

The Party and State leaders and delegates pay tribute to the victims of storm No. 3.

Dear comrades!

This Central Conference takes place earlier and shorter than expected, we will work outside of office hours.

The Conference will discuss and give opinions on 10 contents belonging to 2 groups of strategic issues and some specific tasks; the documents have been sent about 1 week in advance, I suggest that you continue to spend time studying them to have truly accurate opinions, reflecting the reality of your ministries, branches, and localities.

Focus on contributing specific issues and general issues, especially practical issues that have not been mentioned in the draft documents but need to evaluate and summarize important contents on viewpoints, guiding thoughts, innovative policies with breakthrough strategies and high feasibility.

We identify the 14th Congress as the Congress marking the moment when the country enters a new era - the era of national development, requiring that right from the process of drafting documents, each comrade member of the Party Central Committee, member of the Secretariat, member of the Politburo needs to promote his or her intelligence and responsibility to the highest level. In that spirit, I would like to suggest the following issues:

First, the work to accelerate the "finish line" to successfully implement the Resolution of the 13th National Party Congress

Successfully implementing the Resolution of the 13th National Party Congress is the highest goal of the entire Party, the entire people, and the entire army in 2025; it is the foundation for successfully implementing the 100-year strategic goals under the leadership of the Party and towards the 100th anniversary of the founding of the country.

This goal must be achieved with the highest determination, the greatest effort, drastic actions with the most effective implementation solutions, ensuring that the set goals are achieved and strive to exceed them; This is the Party's responsibility to the people, to the glorious and heroic history of the nation, to international friends; it is a testament to the Party's leadership, governance and fighting capacity, so it is necessary to concentrate all resources and measures to complete it.

The 2025 socio-economic development plan has set out the main goals, targets, tasks and solutions; analyzed the ability to complete the 5-year socio-economic targets for 2021-2025 based on the implementation of the 2024 socio-economic development plan. The Politburo discussed very carefully, made a comprehensive assessment, considered all aspects and decided to report to the Central Committee for discussion and comments.

The Party and State leaders and delegates voted to approve the conference agenda.

Second, regarding the preparation work for the 14th National Party Congress, there are 3 issues:

First, regarding the documents submitted to the 14th National Party Congress:

With the position of the Political Report as the center; The summary of 40 years of innovation is a very important report to distill the quintessence into the documents of the 14th National Party Congress; The report on socio-economic development strategy, the report on Party building and implementation of the Party Charter are specialized reports, we request that comrades focus on discussing and clarifying:

(i) Has the content of the Political Report submitted to the Conference met the level of a central report in terms of viewpoints, guidelines, policies, has it summarized the values of the past, present and towards the future? Has it been a "lighting torch" leading the entire Party, the entire people, and the entire army to achieve the strategic goals set by the 13th National Party Congress?

(ii) Strategic reports on socio-economic development; Party building and implementation of the Party Charter; Have the theoretical and practical issues drawn from the summary of 40 years of renovation fully covered the basis for the general arguments in the Political Report? Are the reports consistent with each other and with the Party's viewpoints and policies on national development in the 2026-2030 period and vision to 2045?

(iii) Specific content in each report, especially assessments of existing problems, limitations and strategic directions and breakthrough tasks set out. It is necessary to clarify whether the policies and measures are "correct" and "accurate" enough to bring the country into a new era? New factors
