Co-chairs included: Do Van Chien, Politburo member, Secretary of the Party Central Committee, Chairman of the Central Committee of the Vietnam Fatherland Front; Party Central Committee members: Deputy Prime Ministers Tran Hong Ha and Mai Van Chinh, Vice Chairman of the National Assembly Le Minh Hoan; leaders of ministries, departments, branches and central agencies. The conference was broadcast live to the headquarters of the People's Committees of provinces and centrally run cities.
In his opening remarks at the conference, emphasizing the role, position, and importance of agriculture, farmers, and rural areas, Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh stated that agriculture is the pillar of the economy ; we take farmers as the center, agriculture as the driving force, and rural areas as the foundation. The majority of Vietnamese people live in rural areas, and the number of workers in the agricultural sector accounts for a large proportion.
Along with that, the Prime Minister emphasized the role of wet rice civilization, the contribution and mark of the agricultural and rural areas to the Vietnamese national culture.
Therefore, this is an important Conference, in the context that the whole country is actively competing to celebrate major holidays; urgently completing tasks according to resolutions and conclusions of the Party and the National Assembly, especially the revolution in reorganizing the apparatus, arranging administrative units at all levels and operating the 2-level local government model, abolishing the district level from July 1, 2025.
The Prime Minister stated that in the recent past, 79% of communes in the new rural construction program have met new rural standards, 51% of district-level units have been recognized as meeting standards or completing the task of building new rural areas; 12 provinces and cities have been recognized by the Prime Minister as having completed the task of building new rural areas.
However, there are still many areas with a poverty rate of over 50%. Besides the positiveness of emulation movements, the emulation and reward work also has shortcomings such as not discovering and rewarding typical examples in a timely manner, many individuals and organizations with many contributions have not been rewarded or recognized...
The Prime Minister asked the delegates to evaluate the implementation results, share good, creative and typical practices and models; honor and reward organizations and individuals with outstanding achievements; discuss the orientation of the National Target Program on New Rural Development and Sustainable Poverty Reduction for the period 2026-2030 (on the necessity of investing in the Program in the current context; viewpoints, objectives; scope and scale; implementation content; solutions for organizing implementation in the new context and requirements; integrating programs; effectively implementing OCOP programs...).
The Prime Minister also said that ensuring the rural environment, associated with eliminating backward customs, such as ensuring clean water, hygienic toilets, etc. are very important issues that need further discussion to improve.
In his concluding remarks at the conference, Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh emphasized that our development and implementation of Resolution 26-NQ/TW of the Central Committee on agriculture, farmers and rural areas is "correct and accurate", and has brought about very positive results: contributing to the restructuring of our country's economy for rapid and sustainable development; developing infrastructure for transportation, irrigation, and rural areas with "electricity, roads, schools, and stations", and the material and spiritual life of farmers has been comprehensively improved. Vietnam has become a model for the world in implementing the United Nations Millennium Development Goals.
According to the Prime Minister, the success of the Program is thanks to the leadership of the Party, regularly and directly by the Politburo, the Secretariat, headed by the former General Secretary Nguyen Phu Trong, current General Secretary To Lam, the active and effective participation of the entire political system, the help of international friends; the joint efforts, consensus, and solidarity of the entire nation and the entire political system; we know how to promote the combined strength of the relationship between agricultural development, rural construction, and the development of the material and spiritual life of farmers; farmers are still the most valuable resource.
In the coming time, the Prime Minister emphasized continuing to implement the National Target Program on new rural construction and sustainable poverty reduction, carrying out two movements to build ecological agriculture, modern rural areas, civilized farmers; reducing poverty comprehensively, inclusively and sustainably.
To do so, according to the Prime Minister, the political system including Party committees, authorities, the Fatherland Front, and political organizations must carry out "4 pushes": Pushing the completion of institutions to serve development with farmers as the center and subject; agriculture as the driving force; and rural areas as the foundation for development.
Promote the development of strategic infrastructure for agriculture, farmers and rural areas including transportation, energy, health care, education, culture, sports and infrastructure must develop green and sustainably to serve the development of ecological agriculture, modern rural areas, and civilized farmers. Promote the development of human factors and specifically the development of farmers suitable for the new revolutionary stage, suitable for new development, suitable for 2-level local government, suitable for the "four pillars". Promote the diversification of agricultural products suitable for needs and enjoyment; diversify products, supply chains, and markets.
For farmers, the Prime Minister proposed implementing “3 pioneering”: Pioneering in escaping poverty and getting rich from “hands, brains, sky, sea”. Pioneering in building civilized farmers. Pioneering in green, sustainable production, digital transformation, especially the “Digital Literacy for All” movement, building a digital economy, digital government, digital society, digital people.
The Prime Minister requested to strictly implement the leadership and direction of the Party Committee, specifically the Central Executive Committee, and directly the Politburo, the Secretariat, and the General Secretary; mobilize the participation of the entire political system to implement the two national target programs on new rural construction and sustainable poverty reduction.
Also according to the Prime Minister, the Ministry of Agriculture and Environment and the Ministry of Home Affairs from this summary conference, must focus on studying to combine these two Programs into one, these two Movements into one to ensure suitability in the current context, ensuring the content of new rural construction and sustainable poverty reduction.
The Prime Minister pointed out that Vietnam's population is mainly in rural areas; the transition to urban and industrial areas will take time; the poor are mainly in remote areas, and ethnic minority areas. Promoting the spirit of the entire political system must be involved; determination must be high, efforts must be great, actions must be drastic; assigning "6 clear" tasks: "clear people, clear work, clear responsibility, clear progress, clear results, clear authority".
In the current context of many difficulties, the Prime Minister called for solidarity and cooperation between the State and enterprises; promoting State resources as the leading and seed capital for this Target Program; mobilizing social resources, including private resources and public-private partnership resources; educating and training people; continuing to invest in transport infrastructure, healthcare, education, culture, and sports to improve physical fitness and health with the spirit of caring for and protecting people's health and lives; education from equipping knowledge to educating people comprehensively.
The process must be liberated from mechanisms, policies, institutions, remove bottlenecks, turn institutions into competitive advantages; implement social justice and progress; implement social security policies well, leave no one behind; do not sacrifice social progress and justice, and the environment in rural areas to pursue purely economic growth. The spirit of saying and doing must go hand in hand, once committed, it must be done, once said, done, and done, there must be products, "weighed, measured, counted"; do not talk empty words; must let farmers truly feel the achievements that the Party and State bring.
The Prime Minister said that in the implementation process, there are also shortcomings; therefore, there must be tools to prevent corruption, negativity, waste, and group interests; the movement must be substantial, clearly effective, and the enjoyment of the people must be substantial. The press agencies should increase propaganda in this field, creating consensus in public opinion.
