Hanoi (VNA) - Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh, Chairman of the Central Council for Emulation and Commendation, on October 5 launched an emulation campaign to celebrate the 14th National Party Congress, the election of deputies to the 16th National Assembly and People’s Councils at all levels for the 2026–2031 tenure.
The launching ceremony was held in Hanoi with online connections to 34 provinces and cities across the nation.
Calling for efforts to make achievements to celebrate the upcoming 14th National Party Congress and accelerate the completion of the 13th National Party Congress’ Resolution, PM Chinh underlined that since President Ho Chi Minh’s Call for Patriotic Emulation in 1948, the emulation spirit has inspired patriotism and self-reliance across the Party, people and armed forces, becoming an endogenous strength that has helped Vietnam overcome hardships and achieve historic victories.
He highlighted recent achievements from emulation movements, including nationwide unity in defeating COVID-19, eliminating temporary and dilapidated housing five years ahead of schedule, completing major national power transmission lines and highways in record time, and advancing socio-economic growth while ensuring political stability.
Particularly, streamlining the administrative apparatus, together with the implementation of the two-tier local government model, has been carried out effectively, he noted.
The PM stressed that the 14th National Party Congress is a pivotal political event shaping the country’s development in a new era. The emulation campaign serves as a decisive momentum for Vietnam to accelerate and achieve the goals set by the 13th National Party Congress, under the motto of “high determination, decisive action, and practical results.”
He called for emulation to be practical and results-driven, avoiding formality, empty words or ineffective actions. Leaders at all levels must set examples of innovation, dedication and service to the people.
Enterprises, entrepreneurs and workers should be at the centre of movements for productivity and innovation, while all people are urged to uphold patriotism, solidarity and contribution to national development, social stability and environmental protection and Fatherland safeguarding, he encouraged.
The Government leader also encouraged the Vietnam Fatherland and mass organisations and the media to mobilise public participation, foster enthusiasm, and spread exemplary role models to inspire society and strengthen trust in the Party.
Expressing his belief, Prime Minister Chinh affirmed that the emulation drive would ignite national unity, patriotism and creativity, enabling Vietnam to achieve new milestones and move firmly towards a new era of development, prosperity, civilisation and happiness./.
