According to comrade Tran Quoc Vuong, correctly and fully understanding Ho Chi Minh's ideology, morality and style is only the first step. The important thing is to turn that understanding into concrete actions, quantifying the results in studying and following Uncle Ho's example of each collective and individual.

Therefore, from now until the 130th anniversary of Uncle Ho's birthday, Party committees, authorities, and each Party member need to focus on doing a good and effective job of organizing Party congresses at all levels, towards the 13th National Party Congress, especially personnel work for the next term.

“Party committees and organizations must be imbued with Uncle Ho's advice: "All successes or failures are due to good or bad cadres." "Cadres are the root of all work." We must avoid and eliminate expressions of term-based thinking, localism, familiarity, deference, and leniency when selecting Party committee personnel for the new term."
