Hanoi (VNA) - Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh chaired a meeting in Hanoi on August 26 to congratulate and assign tasks to newly-appointed Deputy Prime Ministers Nguyen Hoa Binh, Ho Duc Phoc and Bui Thanh Son, Minister of Natural Resources and Environment Do Duc Duy and Minister of Justice Nguyen Hai Ninh.

Attending the meeting were Politburo members: National Assembly Chairman Tran Thanh Man; Secretary of the Party Central Committee (PCC) and Chairman of the PCC's Commission for Internal Affairs Phan Dinh Trac; and Minister of National Defence Gen. Phan Van Giang; together with Secretary of the PCC and Chairman of the PCC's Commission for External Relations Le Hoai Trung; Chairman of the PCC's Commission for Economic Affairs Tran Luu Quang; and Deputy PMs Tran Hong Ha and Le Thanh Long, among others.

The PM expected that the newly-appointed officials would seriously follow the directions given by Party General Secretary and State President To Lam when he handed down appointment decisions to them earlier the same day.

He urged them to leverage their strengths and work experience to collaborate effectively with the Government so as to uphold its rich traditions and past successes.

The PM called for their unity, discipline, integrity, innovation and drastic actions to join hands with the Government to effectively accomplish assigned tasks, especially meeting the goals set by the 13th National Party Congress, providing dedicated service for the nation and its people. This, he said, would ultimately contribute to the interests of the Party and the nation, the development and prosperity of the country and well-being and happiness of the people.

Speaking on behalf of the newly-appointed officials, Deputy PM Nguyen Hoa Binh said these are their great honour as well as their huge responsibility before the Party, State and people.

He pledged to continually strive to maintain and uphold unity and consensus, and join hands with the Government to excellently fulfill assigned tasks and contribute to the successful implementation of the 13th National Party Congress’s Resolution./.

Thayer observed that Vietnam is increasingly emerging as a regional hub not only for manufacturing but also for diplomacy, supported by an expanding network of international partnerships. In his view, AFF 2026 represents an open and forward-looking agenda in which Vietnam acts as a trailblazer, proposing and advancing new ideas for regional cooperation.

The measure of success in the coming period should not simply be how many additional documents, mechanisms or action plans ASEAN produces; more importantly, it should be measured by the extent to which ASEAN’s commitments are implemented in practice, what changes they bring about for the region, and what benefits they deliver to people, businesses and each member economy, said the top Vietnamese leader.
