Speaking at the conference, Party General Secretary To Lam said the election left a significant mark as a convergence of the Party’s will, the people’s support and the aspiration for national development. He noted that the new National Assembly and People’s Councils must embody renewal, action and effectiveness, while maintaining a close connection with the people.
“Ultimately, the most important lesson is that the success of an election is only truly complete when it is translated into effective performance in the new term. Voters’ ballots do not end on election day; they must be carried forward through the quality of legislation, the effectiveness of oversight, and sound, timely decisions that meet the country’s development needs in the new period,” said Party leader To Lam.
