GDP growth reached a high level compared to other countries in the region and the world. National defense and security were strengthened, national sovereignty was maintained. The work of Party building and rectification, the fight against corruption, waste and negativity continued to be strengthened.

| General Secretary Nguyen Phu Trong warmly commended, congratulated and thanked the especially important contributions of intellectuals and artists. |
Asking the question, what is the reason why our country has achieved these achievements - achievements that were not possible many years ago?, according to the General Secretary, is it because the Party's will is combined with the people's will, the people's will is in accordance with the Party's will, the country's fortune or the country's position is on the rise. Recalling Uncle Ho's teachings, the General Secretary emphasized that to win the people's hearts, the Party must be clean, and Party cadres and members must be servants, not mandarins of the people. If you lose the people's hearts, you lose everything.
On behalf of the Party and State leaders, the General Secretary warmly commended, congratulated and thanked the especially important contributions of intellectuals and artists to the development of the country. Intellectuals truly play a fundamental and key role as the direct driving force for development. Intellectuals and artists - the soul engineers - are talented people, the national spirit. Whether our country is strong or weak, prosperous or declining, depends first and foremost on the human factor, and people must first and foremost have pure qualities and knowledge.
