Speaking at the conference, comrade Nguyen Xuan Thang emphasized: The 2021 local development dialogue took place in the first year of Vietnam's implementation of Resolution XIII of the Party, which is also when localities, in the spirit of thoroughly grasping Resolution XIII, have actively implemented the Resolutions of Party Committees at all levels for the 2020-2025 term in the context of the country undergoing very rapid changes with many advantages, opportunities, difficulties and challenges intertwined; especially the 4th Covid-19 pandemic poses great challenges for the whole country and localities in implementing the "dual goal" of both drastic disease prevention and control and socio-economic promotion.

The new normal requires us to seize opportunities, with the awareness that "in danger there is opportunity", right now we need to think about socio-economic development not only in the context of the pandemic but also immediately after the pandemic ends to achieve positive results right from the first years of the term; create the premise to successfully implement the socio-economic development goals of the 2021-2025 period; establish a favorable foundation for development in the following years.
According to comrade Nguyen Xuan Thang, the Party's 13th Congress Documents have strongly demonstrated the spirit of innovation, adaptation to the rapid changes in the international situation and new development requirements in setting out the orientation on continuing to innovate the growth model associated with restructuring the economic sector, promoting industrialization and modernization on the basis of strongly applying scientific and technological advances and innovation, focusing on promoting national digital transformation, making the best use of the opportunities brought about by the 4th industrial revolution.

The document also sets out a consistent orientation for rapid and sustainable development, proactively and effectively adapting to climate change, focusing on building a green economy, a circular economy, and an environmentally friendly economy associated with transforming the growth model, especially valuing ecological agriculture, strictly managing and effectively using production and business.
In the process of building its political document report, the local Party Committee has thoroughly grasped these orientations, promoting a creative spirit that is not mechanical or general.
Localities have developed realistic action programs, continued to have specific, feasible solutions, closely following reality associated with responsibility, strengthening coordination associated with inspection and supervision; summarizing experiences, promptly adjusting; taking work efficiency, trust and satisfaction of the people as important criteria to evaluate the quality of the apparatus organization and of each cadre and party member.
