The highest goal and ultimate destination is to ensure that the people truly benefit from the achievements of development, underlined To.

He vowed to work with the entire Party, the entire people, and the entire armed forces, to build a socialist rule-of-law state, develop an economy that is self-reliant, self-sufficient, and resilient and build a comprehensive, people-centered, and modern national defense and security system.

To committed to developing a streamlined, effective, and efficient political system and a society that is developed, united, cultured, and humane as well as establishing a new growth model driven by science, technology, innovation, and digital transformation.

He pledged to work towards building a modern national education system and perfecting the models, mechanisms, and policies for a modern, comprehensive, inclusive, and sustainable social development.

Regarding foreign affairs and international integration, he committed to following the principle of ensuring the highest national interests; taking peace, independence, autonomy, and self-reliance as the foundation; placing the people at the center of all policies; considering contributions to the international community as a responsibility.

The leader pledged to perfect and implement the strategies for national defense and security; prioritize strengthening capabilities and achieving strategic autonomy in defense and security and building a revolutionary, disciplined, elite, and modern armed force; and consolidate a peaceful, stable, secure, orderly, disciplined, safe, and healthy environment at a high level, contributing to peace and stability in the region and the world.
