Avoid wasting society's resources and assets.

Concluding the conference, Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh requested ministries, sectors, and localities to continue removing obstacles for projects; continue reviewing the difficulties of other projects, reporting to competent authorities for resolution, and resolving them within their authority. Sectors and localities must also proactively review and handle, within their authority, the four key policy groups outlined in Resolution 170.

This will significantly contribute to achieving double-digit economic growth targets in the coming years; create space and room for development, and prevent the loss and waste of land resources belonging to the State, the people, and businesses.

Emphasizing that resolving difficulties and obstacles for projects is a challenging, complex, and sensitive issue, the Prime Minister stressed the importance of continuing to work while learning from experience and gradually expanding the scope of the process. He stressed the need to foster a spirit of daring to think, daring to act, and daring to take responsibility in order to definitively resolve difficulties in accordance with the Party's regulations and the State's laws.

The Prime Minister requested the Ministry of Agriculture and Environment to take the lead in submitting to the Government a decision on guiding localities to implement Resolution No. 170; and to coordinate with the Ministries of Construction, Finance, Justice and other relevant agencies to urgently review and submit to the Government for promulgation guiding documents to implement the contents that are still unclear, ambiguous, or not specific.

The Ministry of Finance, in coordination with the Government Inspectorate, will review, compile, and submit to the Government a list of land-related projects that meet the conditions for applying the mechanisms and policies in Resolution No. 170.

For localities, the Prime Minister requested that they proactively review and summarize difficulties and obstacles based on the actual situation, and propose solutions within their authority; at the same time, they should proactively implement the contents within their authority.

Regarding Party agencies, the National Assembly, and judicial bodies, the Prime Minister requested continued attention and coordination with the Government, ministries, and localities to effectively implement Conclusion No. 77 of the Politburo and Resolution No. 170 of the National Assembly. This is especially important during the inspection, supervision, investigation, prosecution, and trial of related cases and incidents.

"The spirit is to both ensure the strict enforcement of the law and create conditions to overcome difficulties and unlock resources for socio-economic development. We must avoid wasting social resources due to legal obstacles," Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh emphasized.

The Prime Minister emphasized the need for high determination, great effort, and decisive action, ensuring that each task is completed thoroughly and effectively. Furthermore, it is necessary to clearly assign responsibilities, tasks, timelines, authority, and expected results; and to regularly monitor and inspect the process.

Regarding Resolution No. 257 of the National Assembly, the Prime Minister requested its implementation to avoid overlapping in target groups and scope. Ministries should continue to decentralize power, delegate authority, and allocate funds to localities to enable them to proactively implement programs.

During implementation, it is necessary to avoid spreading resources too thinly and prioritize investment in disadvantaged areas and ethnic minority regions. Capital allocation should follow the principle that the central government provides the total capital, while localities decide on specific investment content. Transparency and objectivity are essential, based on the application of science and technology, digital transformation, the development of databases and interconnected monitoring and evaluation systems, and enhanced community oversight.

In addition, localities should strengthen propaganda and raise awareness among the entire political system and the people about the Party and State's policies, the humanitarian nature of the program, and promote the self-reliance and self-improvement of relevant stakeholders. Focus on developing programs and implementation plans that are targeted and appropriate to the practical conditions of each region and locality.

In parallel with state resources, Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh suggested that localities mobilize resources from outside the government and from businesses to bring practical benefits to the people.

The program should be implemented decisively in the spirit of: Local authorities decide, local authorities act, local authorities take responsibility, and accountability should be assigned to all levels, sectors, and especially to the heads of departments.

Focus on building sustainable models, green growth, and value linkages. Concentrate on changing mindsets, raising awareness, and motivating people to confidently escape poverty, compete to become wealthy, engage in green and sustainable production, and embrace digital transformation.
