On the morning of January 8, the Government organized a conference to review its 2025 operations and deploy tasks for 2026 for the Government and local administrations. The conference was held in person at the Government Headquarters and connected via video link to 34 provinces and cities nationwide.

Attending the conference were General Secretary To Lam; State President Luong Cuong; Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh; Chairman of the National Assembly Tran Thanh Man; Standing Member of the Secretariat Tran Cam Tu; along with members of the Politburo, the Secretariat, and the Party Central Committee holding positions as Vice President, Deputy Prime Ministers, and Vice Chairpersons of the National Assembly. Also present were leaders of central commissions, ministries, and sectors, as well as leaders of provinces and centrally-run cities.

Representing the Vietnam National Chemical Group (Vinachem) at the Government Headquarters were Mr. Phung Quang Hiep – Secretary of the Party Committee and Chairman of the Member Council, and Mr. Nguyen Huu Tu – General Director of the Group.

In his opening remarks, Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh emphasized that in 2025, Vietnam's economy achieved a growth rate of 8.02%, placing it among the high-growth nations in the region and the world. Simultaneously, macroeconomic stability was maintained, inflation was controlled, and major balances of the economy were ensured; the budget deficit and public debt remained below prescribed limits.

Alongside these achievements, the Prime Minister frankly pointed out several limitations, shortcomings, and difficulties that require focused rectification. Specifically, economic restructuring, growth quality enhancement, science and technology development, digital transformation, and green transition have been slow. Pressures regarding macroeconomic stability, exchange rates, and interest rates continue to rise due to external impacts, while environmental pollution and traffic congestion have not been effectively addressed.

The Prime Minister raised several focal and suggestive issues for the conference to discuss. Specifically, it is necessary to clarify the context of 2025 and the entire 2021–2025 term; identify negative factors with major impacts on the economy; and assess whether leadership and management at all levels have demonstrated high determination, great effort, drastic action, and proactive adaptation to "turn threats into opportunities."

Furthermore, the conference focused on evaluating highlights in socio-economic development for 2025 and the 2021–2025 period, including data reflecting high growth associated with macroeconomic stability; breakthroughs in strategic infrastructure development; progress in culture, society, and people's livelihoods; and results in eliminating temporary and dilapidated housing, developing social housing, and recovering from natural disasters and floods.

The Prime Minister also requested clarification on new aspects of national defense, security, and the fight against corruption, waste, and negativity; highlights in foreign affairs and international integration; and the implementation of the two-level local government model and the streamlining of the central apparatus.

Regarding limitations, the Prime Minister requested delegates to analyze objective and subjective causes, identify bottlenecks and difficulties, and draw practical lessons from implementation within ministries, sectors, and localities.

On key tasks and solutions for 2026 and the coming period, the Prime Minister suggested focusing on the new context and proposing breakthrough solutions, clearly identifying management priorities. It is essential to thoroughly grasp and effectively implement the Resolution of the 14th National Party Congress and the 10 breakthrough resolutions of the Politburo. Specific solutions must be devised to achieve double-digit growth targets alongside macroeconomic stability; create breakthroughs in institutions, infrastructure, and human resources; while also emphasizing cultural and social development, environmental protection, national defense, security, and strengthening foreign relations.

The Prime Minister requested delegates to keep their remarks concise, go straight to the point, and contribute direct feedback on the draft Resolution No. 01 and Resolution No. 02 of the Government for 2026.
