Speaking at the opening of the Conference, General Secretary Nguyen Phu Trong emphasized that the 12th Party Congress continues to warn and set out requirements to fight, prevent, and repel the degradation of political ideology, ethics, and lifestyle; prevent and repel manifestations of "self-evolution" and "self-transformation," considering this one of the six key tasks of this term.

According to the General Secretary, the implementation of Resolution 4 of the 11th Central Committee on Party building has achieved important initial results, but the state of degradation, "self-evolution" and "self-transformation" has not been prevented or pushed back, and in some aspects has become more sophisticated and complicated, possibly causing unpredictable consequences.

In the spirit of looking straight at the truth and correctly assessing the truth, the General Secretary requested the members of the Party Central Committee to deeply analyze, clarify, dissect, point out the correct root cause, and propose effective remedies.

The General Secretary stated that the contents of this Central Conference are very important issues for the successful implementation of the Resolution of the 12th National Party Congress, including the implementation of the central task of socio-economic development and the key task of Party building and rectification.
