He underlined the contributions that emulation and commendation activities made to the results, citing many effective movements such as those in developing the strategic infrastructure system, completing the Circuit-3 500kV power line, and promoting digital transformation.

Stressing that the movements should be associated with the interest of the nation and individuals, PM Chinh said that it is necessary to strengthen communications to spread a positive atmosphere in the community towards the completion of targets set at the 13th National Party Congress.
Regarding tasks for the council in the rest of the year, Chinh asked members to multiply effective measures and models, while drawing lessons from the first six months of the year for better performance.
According to the council, in the first half of this year, the council completed its set tasks, advising authorized agencies in building legal documents regarding emulation and commendation following the 2022 Law on Emulation and Commendation.
Agencies in charge of emulation and commendation activities in central agencies, ministries, sectors, and localities have provided guidelines on the work and measures to enhance the quality of the movements.
As a result, many movements have been implemented effectively, positively contributing to the countries' socioeconomic development, security defense, and external affairs.
Notably, movements launched by the PM in building new-style rural areas, implementing office culture, promoting infrastructure development, practicing thrift, and forming a life-long learning society have proved their role in the country’s development.
Collectives and individuals with outstanding achievements in their working areas have been honored promptly, according to the council.
At the event, PM Chinh tasked the Ministry of Home Affairs and the Ministry of Transport to closely join hands with the Vietnam Fatherland Front Central Committees and relevant ministries, sectors, and localities to launch an emulation movement to complete the projects on highways in 500 days and nights.
