President Cuong praised the Office for its proactive coordination with relevant agencies in fulfilling its assigned tasks.

The President emphasized the principle of democratic centralism and urged that the full authority and responsibility of Party committees at all levels, along with their secretaries, be upheld. He stressed that the process should foster innovation while maintaining stability.
Regarding the organization of the congresses, the President highlighted the need for in-depth discussions to ensure meaningful contributions to the draft documents. He called for the political report to accurately assess the achievements and challenges of the previous term, especially the implementation of key tasks like Party building and rectification.
The report, he said, must identify both strengths and weaknesses, determine the underlying causes, and extract lessons to improve future performance. It should also clearly define the goals and tasks for the next term, tailored to the specific needs and objectives of the Office.
On personnel matters, Cuong stressed that the selection of Party committee members must ensure continuous, effective leadership. He emphasized the importance of democracy, while focusing on the quality, competence, and structure of leadership.

Finally, the leader addressed the importance of implementing the Politburo’s conclusions on restructuring and streamlining the organizational apparatus. He urged the Office to ensure that the restructuring results in a more efficient and effective apparatus. He encouraged the adoption of digital transformation and technology to optimize work processes, reduce administrative procedures, and improve the overall performance of the Office of the President.
