Party committees, organizations, and inspection commissions at all levels must enhance inspection and supervision with high determination and great effort to contribute to the successful implementation of the 14th Party Congress Resolution.
After hearing the summary report and many heartfelt, responsible speeches that clarified and proposed many profound and practical contents, General Secretary To Lam, in his directive speech, requested the Conference Organizing Committee to study and fully absorb the opinions, supplement and complete the reports to submit to the Politburo, Secretariat, and Central Committee as prescribed.
General Secretary To Lam emphasized that the 13th National Party Congress term took place in a context where international, regional, and domestic situations had rapid and complex developments with many unprecedented issues, posing significant difficulties and challenges.
However, this was also a period when our Party demonstrated resilient courage, unity, and calmness to resolve risks and challenges, leading the country through “stormy seas” to achieve many important results, striving and expected to achieve, even surpass, many fundamental targets of the 13th Party Congress term.
Many breakthrough strategic policies have been and are being implemented, opening up a transformative landscape in the country's development process.
The General Secretary affirmed that looking back from the beginning of the term until now, a very profound lesson is that in difficult times, we must excel in Party building and rectification work.
During the 13th National Party Congress term, Party building and rectification work continued to be vigorously and comprehensively implemented, with many innovations, contributing to enhancing the Party's leadership, ruling capacity, and combativeness, consolidating people's trust in the regime.
In this overall achievement, the results of Party inspection, supervision, and discipline enforcement have made a very important contribution. Party committees and inspection commissions at all levels have made great efforts, decisively and creatively implementing comprehensive work programs and plans, completing a very large workload.
On behalf of the Politburo and Secretariat, the General Secretary warmly commended and highly appreciated the achievements and results of Party inspection, supervision, and discipline enforcement in 2025 and the entire 13th Party Congress term.
Frankly acknowledging that there are still many limitations to overcome, the General Secretary pointed out: Some Party committees have not paid adequate attention to inspection and supervision work; self-inspection and supervision have not been well implemented; regular supervision is still weak, with repeated violations over long periods not being promptly detected; the capacity of some inspection staff has not kept up with new requirements; follow-up and urging after inspections are sometimes lacking decisiveness, with many violations pointed out but slowly addressed…
The General Secretary demands that these issues be promptly addressed to further enhance the effectiveness of Party inspection, supervision, and discipline work, meeting the task requirements in the new phase.
Enhancing the quality and effectiveness of inspection and supervision from each party cell
To enhance the quality and effectiveness of Party inspection, supervision, and discipline enforcement in the upcoming term, the General Secretary urged Party committees, organizations, and inspection commissions at all levels to continue to deeply grasp and strictly implement the Party's regulations on inspection and supervision, especially newly issued regulations, as well as directives from the Politburo and Secretariat.

The General Secretary emphasized focusing on building streamlined, strong, effective, and efficient inspection commissions at all levels. Build a team of inspection staff who are truly courageous, honest, professional, “as clear as a mirror, as sharp as a sword”, absolutely loyal to the Party, steadfast in the face of difficulties, not succumbing to any pressure, influence, or temptation; enhance training, fostering, and improving professional quality for the Party inspection staff at all levels, especially at the grassroots level.
Each inspection officer must firmly grasp the Party's guidelines, principles, and regulations; be proficient in their profession; have the ability to analyze, forecast, and detect issues early and from afar; and must also listen, understand reality, handle matters impartially, objectively, according to principles, and procedures.
The work of inspection requires great integrity and courage, so each officer must always self-train, maintain ethics, improve their level, and cultivate a fair, cautious, decisive working style.
