The session aimed to review the council’s performance in 2024, set out directions and tasks in 2025, and consider awarding the titles of "Hero of the People's Armed Forces" and "Hero of Labour" to collectives and individuals with particularly outstanding contributions to national construction and defence.
According to the council, Vietnam has faced many difficulties and challenges this year while the global situation has witnessed complicated and unpredictable developments.
Implementing the resolutions and conclusions of the Party Central Committee, its Politburo and Secretariat, the National Assembly, the Government, Prime Minis Chinh has closely monitored the practical situation and focused on directing tasks and solutions decisively, flexibly, and effectively.
As a result, Vietnam's socio-economic development has achieved many important outcomes, with all 15 targets expected to be met or exceeded. Patriotic emulation movements are said to make positive contribution to the results.
In 2024, the council actively developed the project on summarising the implementation of Directive No. 34-CT/TW, dated April 7, 2014, of the Politburo on continuing to innovate emulation and commendation work and issuing a directive on emulation and commendation in the new situation. It also worked on building and perfecting laws regarding emulation and commendation, and directed the organisation of emulation congresses at all levels and sectors, leading up to the 11th National Patriotic Emulation Congress.
In particular, the council directed and organised many effective emulation movements, including those relating to the elimination of temporary and dilapidated houses by 2025, the movement on accelerating the development of synchronous and modern infrastructure; practicing thrift and combating wastefulness, and the movement on overcoming the aftermath of Typhoon Yagi.
Speaking at the session, Prime Minister Chinh said that when it comes to emulation and commendation, it is necessary to closely follow the guidelines and policies of the Party and the State, the directions of the Politburo, the Secretariat, the Party General Secretary and legal documents, to launch substantive and effective emulation movements.
Emulation movements must be in line with the interests of the country, and the people, associated with the political tasks of each agency and unit and the responsibilities of their heads, he said.
It is necessary to regularly inspect, urge, evaluate and definitively solve problems. Outstanding individuals and collectives in emulation movements must be properly honoured and their successful models should be multiplied and inspire the whole society in building and defending the Fatherland, Prime Minister Chinh noted.
The Prime Minister emphasised that the year 2025 is of special importance as it will mark the 95th founding anniversary of the Communist Party of Vietnam; 50 years since the liberation of the South and reunification of the country; the 135th birthday of President Ho Chi Minh; the 80th founding anniversary of the country; and Party congresses at all levels towards the 14th National Party Congress, and the 11th National Patriotic Emulation Congress.
Especially, the whole political system is determined to effectively implement and exceed the socio-economic goals in 2025 and the whole term of the 13th National Party Congress, he said, adding that therefore, the work of emulation and commendation needs to be carried out better to generate practical effective results.
He called on the whole country to engage in innovation and digital transformation, thus contributing to the rise of the country in a new era of development.
