Government reviews key tasks for the remainder of 2025

Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh on October 25 chaired a Government meeting to review and implement key tasks for the remainder of 2025, during which he stressed the need to define a clear order of priorities during their implementation, according to a report from the Vietnam News Agency.

As 2025 marks the final year of the term, the workload for the Government, the PM, ministries, agencies and localities remains substantial.

Quarterly reviews were held to assess the implementation of international commitments. The Government also organised meetings with Vietnamese diplomatic missions abroad, business communities, and investors to strengthen economic diplomacy and sustain growth momentum for 2025 and the following years.

At the meeting, participants noted that, despite numerous challenges and a demanding workload, the Government, ministries, and localities have maintained strong unity and determination, innovating their leadership and management methods to achieve positive and timely results across key areas.

However, some limitations remain, they noted. A number of tasks and projects have progressed slower than planned, with certain documents and reports not meeting quality requirements. These shortcomings were attributed to both objective and subjective causes, ranging from overlapping priorities and tight deadlines to hesitancy and fear of responsibility among some officials.

PM Chinh directed the Government Office to compile feedback from cabinet members and review all ongoing programs and projects, ensuring clarity in responsibilities, tasks, timelines, results, authority, and accountability.

He emphasised the need to establish a clear order of priorities, focusing on institutionalising and implementing recent Politburo resolutions, particularly on the development of the State-owned economic sector, foreign-invested sector, high-speed rail, nuclear energy, and the settlement of long-delayed projects, including power projects.

He stressed accelerating the three growth drivers - investment, export, and consumption to achieve 2025’s growth targets and build momentum for the years ahead.

The Government leader also urged ministries and localities to develop detailed plans and timelines for assigned tasks, and to monitor implementation in accordance with Politburo Regulation No. 366-QD/TW dated August 30, 2025, on reviewing and evaluating the performance of collectives and individuals within the political system.
