At the congress, delegates focused on reviewing and evaluating the results of organizing and implementing patriotic emulation movements and commendation work for the 2020-2025 period. They also set out the orientations and tasks for organizing and implementing patriotic emulation movements and commendation work of the National Assembly Standing Committee for the 2025-2030 period.

Delegates presented reports summarizing valuable experiences in identifying, nurturing, and promoting exemplary role models to further enhance the quality and effectiveness of emulation and commendation efforts; and to strongly inspire dedication, creativity, courage, and responsibility for the aspiration of a prosperous, civilized, and happy nation.

In his speech, the N.A. leader stated that 77 years ago, President Ho Chi Minh issued the Call for Patriotic Emulation with the message: “Emulation is patriotism; those who are patriotic must emulate, and the most patriotic are those who excel in emulation.”

This ideology has become an enormous source of spiritual motivation for National Assembly deputies, agencies, officials, and civil servants to make greater efforts and contributions to building a socialist rule-of-law State of the people, by the people, and for the people, he noted.

Launching the patriotic emulation movement for the 2025-2030 period, the Chairman called for effective emulation in implementing the National Assembly’s reform initiatives, completing institutions, and building a synchronized, modern, and internationally integrated legal system; improving the quality of oversight and decision-making on critical national issues.

In the immediate future, he emphasized the need to actively prepare for and successfully complete the 10th session of the 15th National Assembly; successfully organize the elections of deputies to the 16th National Assembly and People's Councils at all levels for the 2026-2031 term; hold activities marking the 80th anniversary of Vietnam’s first general election; inaugurate the National Assembly Museum; and present the 4th Dien Hong award –the national press award on the NA and People’s Councils.

He stressed that emulation must promote the role and responsibility of N.A. deputies, encouraging them to devote themselves, dare to think, dare to act, dare to innovate, dare to take responsibility, put the common interest first, and truly represent the will and aspirations of the people.

He called for strong emulation in implementing comprehensive digital transformation within the N.A.’s operations, building a “Digital National Assembly,” and emphasized the need for self-study and self-improvement to enhance competencies and skills, expanding the “Digital Literacy Movement.” He also highlighted the importance of reforming recruitment, selection, and appointment mechanisms to attract truly outstanding talents to work in National Assembly agencies and its Office.

He encouraged N.A. agencies and deputies, and all officials, civil servants, public employees, and workers to actively participate in emulation movements, fostering unity, discipline, exemplary conduct, and effective action, while regarding emulation results as an important criterion for evaluation, commendation, and accountability of collectives and individuals.
