Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh delivered a directive speech from the Hanoi location.

Speaking at the session, Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh emphasized: Science and technology, innovation, and digital transformation are the foundation for sustainable development; striving for economic growth of 8% or more by 2025 and double-digit growth in the following years with the important contribution of new growth drivers. The crucial issue is to shift from passively handling administrative procedures to proactively handling administrative procedures to serve the people and businesses; implementing the "strategic quartet" with Resolutions 57, 59, 66, and 68-NQ/TW of the Politburo.

Ministries and sectors need to focus on strategic and planned state management; strengthen supervision and design monitoring and inspection tools. Local authorities must dare to think, dare to act, and dare to take responsibility in the spirit of "local authorities decide, local authorities act, local authorities take responsibility"; delegation of authority must go hand in hand with responsibility. "Whoever is closest to the people, whoever is most responsive to the people, whoever does the job best should be given the task"... Striving for the highest goal of promoting the development of a strong, civilized, and prosperous nation.
