Hanoi (VNA) – The Party Central Committee's Commission for Policies and Strategies – the Party’s strategic advisory body on socio-economic issues – held a conference in Hanoi on December 26 to review its 2025 performance and outline tasks for 2026.

According to a summary performance report, the commission chaired the drafting of and submitted to the Politburo one resolution and three guiding conclusions on major socio-economic issues. The topics include national energy security, the use of economic resources, the realisation of the growth targets for 2025 and following years, and the sustainable development of Vietnamese urban areas.

It also properly carried out apparatus reorganisation and streamlining, reformed the working methodology, and held forums and workshops to collect information for research and advisory activities.

In his address, Tu urged the commission to keep reforming its thinking and action, elevate the quality of the strategic advisory work, and enhance its capacity for research, analysis, and forecasting—especially in response to major global trends. He stressed the need for timely recommendations on guidelines, policies, and measures to support the Party’s leadership over socio-economic development, and for concretising the Resolution of the coming 14th National Party Congress into actionable programmes and plans.

He also asked the commission to further promote its core role in coordinating strategic research, improve the review of models and best practices, and intensify theory research and reality reviews, particularly on the development of a socialist-oriented market economy in Vietnam.

It is also important to strengthen its inspection and supervision of the implementation of resolutions and assigned tasks under approved programmes and plans, Tu added.
