High growth requires reform of the apparatus and new thinking.

'… Challenges that have existed for many years, people have been waiting for forever, such as urban flooding, environmental pollution, traffic jams, salinity, or the reality of the past few days is the story of the dikes in the North, the next term must solve them'.

On the afternoon of October 13, at a press conference on the results of the first Government Party Congress (term 2025-2030), Permanent Deputy Prime Minister Nguyen Hoa Binh informed about the results achieved in the past term.

Streamlining the organization, aiming for long-term development

The Permanent Deputy Prime Minister said that despite facing many unprecedented challenges such as devastating pandemics, extreme natural disasters or unpredictable fluctuations in the world , Vietnam has still maintained its growth momentum.

Notably, the country has made many achievements in protecting and improving people's lives. During the COVID-19 pandemic, although it does not produce its own vaccines, Vietnam still implemented free vaccinations, ranking 5th in the world in terms of coverage rate, contributing to reducing human losses.

In addition, flood relief, poverty reduction, and dilapidated housing have been effectively implemented. The budget for social security reached more than 1.1 million billion VND, accounting for 17% of total budget expenditure, helping per capita income increase from more than 3,000 USD to more than 5,000 USD.

Another notable result was the "organizational revolution" aimed at restructuring the apparatus and building a two-level local government.

This is considered an important preparation step for a new era of development, with a streamlined apparatus, open development space and carefully selected staff.

The Permanent Deputy Prime Minister said that during this process, the Party Committee and the Government had made great contributions and worked extremely hard. Many officials had to work through the night to complete the work on time as required by the Politburo.

Thanks to that, Vietnam has achieved many impressive indicators recognized internationally: the size of the economy increased from 37th to 32nd in the world, GDP from 346 billion USD to 510 billion USD; happiness index increased 37 places, from 83rd to 46th; human development index increased 22 places; ranked 6th out of 40 countries in AI application; business environment ranked 59th out of 176 economies and continues to improve.

The Deputy Prime Minister emphasized that the congress resolution clearly defined the goals, orientations and specific targets. To achieve this, we need to thoroughly overcome the long-standing limitations that people expect such as urban flooding, environmental pollution, traffic congestion, saltwater intrusion or the dike problem in the North.

To achieve the target of high growth and increase per capita income, many key projects must be implemented with new thinking and solutions. In particular, it is necessary to build a system and a team of "both red and professional" cadres, dedicated, courageous, daring to think, daring to do and daring to take responsibility.
