In addition, he applauded the exhibitions on the achievements of the subordinate Party committees over the last five years; attainments in science, technology, innovation, and digital transformation; as well as successes in economic, cultural, and social development, which make the congress not only a particularly important political event but also a festival of the entire Party Organisation.

Highlighting focal issues for discussion on October 12 afternoon and at the official session on October 13, he asked delegates to show a high sense of responsibility, discipline, solidarity, wisdom, reform, and efficiency to give opinions on the documents of the congress and the drafts to be submitted to the 14th National Party Congress.

The PM requested that aside from reviewing the outstanding results of the 2020–2025 tenure amid numerous difficulties and challenges, they should point out lessons and shortcomings needing to be addressed. Notably, they should propose breakthrough tasks and measures for successfully implementing the resolution of the coming national congress, thereby ushering in an era of prosperity, civilisation, and happiness for the nation.

The congress for 2025–2030 is the first of the Government’s Party Organisation since the new organisational model was applied.

It is aimed at assessing the results gained during 2020–2025; reviewing the performance of the Government’s Party Committee during the previous tenure; identifying orientations, targets, tasks, and measures for 2025–2030; and looking into the draft documents to be submitted to the 14th National Party Congress./.
