Reporting on the results of task implementation for the 2020-2025 term, Deputy Prime Minister Nguyen Hoa Binh stated that under the leadership of the Party Central Committee, the Politburo, and the Secretariat, headed by the General Secretary, the Government Party Committee has adhered to the Party’s leadership principles and methods. With determination and resilience, it has focused on leading and directing the successful implementation of the Party’s policies and guidelines, achieving significant and comprehensive results with many outstanding highlights.
Party Building and Rectification Receive Special Attention
Specifically, Party building in terms of politics, ideology, and ethics has been strengthened with many innovations. The study and implementation of resolutions, directives, conclusions, and regulations from the Central Committee have been seriously organized and implemented by the Government Party Committee, with focused content and diverse forms, ensuring 100% of party members fully study and implement them.
Political theory education and the fight to protect the Party’s ideological foundation have been systematically and effectively implemented. Mass mobilization and leadership of socio-political organizations have been innovated by party committees and organizations, focusing on grassroots levels, especially mass mobilization in government agencies. Socio-political organizations have successfully organized their term congresses, directed the completion of organizational structures, developed operating regulations, work programs, and coordinated efforts to care for the material and spiritual lives of union members, association members, and workers.
Party organization and rectification have received special attention, with comprehensive and synchronized implementation, becoming one of the strategic breakthroughs of the Party Committee. This includes continuing to implement the 11th and 12th Central Resolutions. The quality of party organizations and members has been improved, and personnel work and management have been renewed in accordance with regulations. The Government Party Committee has focused on leading and directing the strict implementation of Resolution No. 18-NQ/TW and other Central and Politburo resolutions and conclusions on streamlining the political system’s apparatus for efficiency and effectiveness. It has promptly guided the implementation of policies on reorganizing the apparatus, merging, consolidating, transferring, and receiving party organizations and members.
Immediately after the Government Party Committee was established, it urgently and decisively led the organization and implementation of a “revolution” in streamlining and completing the apparatus, with breakthrough methods, making the internal organization more streamlined and implementing a two-tier local government model. This ensures synchronization, smoothness, and efficiency, along with promoting decentralization and empowerment, gradually shifting from a managerial administration to a service-oriented one for the people.
After streamlining, the government reduced 5 ministries and 3 ministry-level agencies (to 17 ministries and ministry-level agencies, and 5 government-attached agencies); eliminated all 30 general departments, 4,118 departments, sub-departments, and equivalents, and 240 ministry-affiliated public service units; and completed the two-tier local government organization. Through apparatus streamlining, 145,000 payroll positions were reduced, saving VND 39,000 billion annually for social security investment.
Inspection and supervision have been strengthened, focusing on fighting corruption, waste, and negativity. Inspections have targeted key areas, and supervision has been expanded. The quality and effectiveness of inspection and supervision have improved, significantly contributing to Party building and rectification and the political system.

Trade scale increased annually, reaching a record of about USD 850 billion in 2025, placing Vietnam among the top 20 global trading nations, with a large trade surplus maintained.
Resources for development investment were mobilized and used more effectively. Total social investment reached VND 17,300 trillion, or 33.2% of GDP, meeting the target (32%-34%). Public investment reached VND 3,400 trillion, up 55% from the previous term, overcoming scattered public investment and ensuring focus and efficiency. FDI quality continued to improve.

It submitted to the National Assembly the largest number of laws and resolutions in a term (88 laws and 37 resolutions).

High-quality human resource development will focus on strategic technology sectors, with innovation becoming a national movement. Science, technology, and innovation policies will aim for a digital economy comprising at least 30% of GDP by 2030.
Economic growth will be balanced with macro-economic stability, controlling inflation and ensuring major economic balances. Public debt and deficits will be managed within limits. Traditional growth drivers (investment, exports, consumption) will be renewed, and new drivers (digital transformation, green transition, circular economy) will be leveraged. Regional linkages will be strengthened, and development space will be reorganized to match the new administrative system. State budget management will be tightened, reducing regular expenses and increasing development investment. Domestic markets will be developed, and export markets will be diversified, with new FTAs negotiated.
State-owned enterprises will lead the economy, with the private sector as a key driver. FDI will be selectively attracted with technology transfer. Bottlenecks for lingering projects will be resolved, and new international financial and trade centers will be established in Ho Chi Minh City, Da Nang, and other potential localities.
