The conference was attended by Politburo members, Party Central Committee secretaries, Central Committee members, Deputy Prime Ministers, ministers, heads of sectors, provincial and city Party Committee secretaries, and leaders from central agencies and localities.
The agenda focused on socio-economic developments, public investment allocation, national target program implementation in September, Q3, and the first nine months of 2025. It also addressed government directives, administrative reforms, the two-tier local governance model, and upcoming tasks and solutions.
In his opening remarks, Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh emphasized the conference’s significance in accelerating efforts to meet 2025 targets, aligning with the 13th Party Congress resolutions.
Three-quarters into 2025, the global landscape remains challenging: prolonged conflicts in ASEAN and other regions, intensified strategic competition, trade tensions, slowing global growth, volatile financial markets, rising public debt, and record-high gold prices.
Domestically, Vietnam focuses on six key tasks: (1) Implementing the two-tier local governance model; (2) Achieving 8%+ GDP growth in 2025; (3) Executing the Politburo’s breakthrough resolutions; (4) Preparing for the 13th Party Central Committee Conference and the 10th session of the 15th National Assembly (with 50 laws and resolutions, the most ever in a single session); (5) Organizing Party Congresses at all levels toward the 14th National Party Congress; (6) Managing disaster impacts, including four severe September storms affecting northern and central regions.
Under the leadership of Party General Secretary To Lam, socio-economic progress has been steady, with Q3 and nine-month results surpassing 2024. Highlights include macroeconomic stability, controlled inflation, robust growth, strengthened social welfare, political stability, and enhanced defense, diplomacy, and international integration.

Challenges persist, including external pressures, shrinking traditional markets, macroeconomic strains, underperforming growth drivers, and two-tier governance hurdles (staffing, administrative procedures, data connectivity). Natural disasters have caused significant losses.
The Prime Minister urged delegates to analyze new developments, evaluate government performance, identify socio-economic strengths and weaknesses, and address two-tier governance gaps.
He called for clear Q4 strategies, targeting 8.3–8.5% growth while ensuring macro stability, inflation control, and progress in culture, society, environment, defense, diplomacy, housing, and social welfare.
The Government’s Portal will provide further updates on the conference.
