This marked the first session of the Government’s leadership bodies following the election, approval, and appointment of the Prime Minister, deputy prime ministers, ministers, and heads of ministerial-level agencies for the 2026-2031 term.

At the meeting, participants discussed a range of priorities, including efforts to remove obstacles facing stalled projects; the Government’s action program to implement Conclusion No. 18 from the second plenum of the 14th Party Central Committee on socio-economic development, national finance, public debt management, and medium-term public investment for 2026-2030, aligned with the goal of achieving double-digit growth; accelerating the implementation of Resolution No. 57 of the Politburo on breakthroughs in science, technology, innovation, and digital transformation; and revising the Government’s working regulations.

In his remarks, Prime Minister Le Minh Hung stressed the need to immediately get to work and effectively address both urgent and long-term tasks.

Regarding the action program to implement Conclusion No. 18, he underscored that the Central Committee had clearly defined tasks, solutions, and implementation timelines.

The Government, ministries, and relevant agencies have already issued action programs to implement the 14th Party Congress Resolution. The Prime Minister assigned the Government Office, in coordination with the Ministry of Finance, to urgently review and submit an updated and supplementary action program for issuance. Ministries and agencies were also instructed to revise and update their respective plans.

The Government Office and the Ministry of Finance were tasked with expediting key tasks and solutions to ensure completion within April and the second quarter of 2026.

The Prime Minister also assigned the Ministry of Justice to take the lead in reviewing and substantially reducing business conditions and administrative procedures, with the aim of supporting citizens and enterprises.

On addressing obstacles in stalled projects, Prime Minister Le Minh Hung directed the Government Office and the Ministry of Finance, in coordination with ministries, agencies, and local authorities under the guidance of Deputy Prime Minister Nguyen Van Thang, to finalize a draft report for submission to competent authorities on the progress and results achieved so far.

He also called for proposals and recommendations to continue resolving remaining bottlenecks, enabling resources tied up in delayed projects to be mobilized for development, particularly in the context of ensuring energy security and meeting ambitious growth targets.

The Prime Minister further instructed the completion of the Government’s working regulations and the consolidation of the standing body of the Government Steering Committee on science and technology development, innovation, digital transformation, and Project 06. Relevant ministries and agencies were asked to finalize documents and submit them to Government leaders for consideration within the following week.
