Despite numerous challenges from natural disasters and floods, and global uncertainties, Vietnam maintained macroeconomic stability, controlled inflation, advanced social and cultural development, improved living standards, strengthened defense and security, expanded international integration and advanced foreign relations, and unprecedented progress in anti-corruption, and Party and political system building, the top legislator said.

He highlighted significant accomplishments made by the N.A. in the year, saying that the legislature continued to build on and innovate its organization and operations, responding swiftly to practical requirements. It reviewed, debated, and approved a substantial workload and, for the first time, successfully held forums on law-making and supervision activities, demonstrating a strong shift in legislative mindset and legal enforcement.

The N.A. and its agencies have accelerated digital transformation and applied information technology and artificial intelligence in their work, producing initial practical results, the top legislator noted.

He commended the organization of the awards, saying that it drew strong participation from the journalism community, featuring meticulously crafted, innovative works that have made a wide-reaching impact on society and garnered public attention and support.

The N.A. leader expressed his confidence that in 2026, journalists will continue to uphold their responsibility, report objectively and from multiple perspectives, accompany the N.A. in conveying its activities promptly and comprehensively, and identify shortcomings in law-making and legal enforcement to help people-elected agencies operate more effectively and efficiently.

He urged the press to actively promote the determination and energy within the Party, the public, and the armed forces in implementing the 14th National Party Congress’s Resolution, the elections of deputies to the 16th National Assembly and People's Councils at all levels for the 2026-2031 tenure; and highlight reforms and innovations in the N.A.’s operations.
