PM requests work resumption immediately after Tet holiday
VOV.VN - Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh on February 23 urged state employees to resume work immediately after the Lunar New Year (Tet) holiday, warning against delays, complacency and administrative inefficiency.
Speaking at a Lunar New Year meeting with officials and staff of the Government Office in Hanoi on February 23, the first working day after the nine-day Tet break, the PM called for urgent, disciplined and effective operations across the administrative system.
“There must be no waste of a single day, no delay of a single week, no missed opportunities in a month, and no passivity over the course of a year,” the Prime Minister said.
He reminded that the overall performance of the year would largely depend on the pace set in its opening days and months.
As businesses and citizens resume production and commercial activities, the administrative system must act proactively and respond in a timely manner, he said, warning against prolonged holiday travel, excessive festival attendance or slow processing of public affairs.
Vietnam has set ambitious targets for 2026, including maintaining macroeconomic stability, boosting growth, controlling inflation and ensuring major economic balances, while safeguarding national sovereignty and strengthening foreign relations.
In that context, the Government leader called for stronger policy advisory work, closer monitoring of real-world developments and faster, more accurate policy responses.
According to the leader, tasks must follow the principle of “six clarities”: clear assignment of personnel, clear responsibilities, clear authority, clear timelines, clear tasks and clear expected outcomes.
Work should be handled conclusively without prolonged backlogs, he said.
The Government chief also stressed the need for innovation in governance, enhanced inter-agency coordination and the promotion of collective responsibility and unity.
He urged digital transformation within state agencies and the effective implementation of priorities adopted by the government’s standing committee.
