It is also important to continue improving the validity and efficiency of the State's activities in building and implementing national solidarity policies; promoting socialist democracy, taking the people as the centre, the subject, the main resource and driving force, and the goal of national unity; and at the same time innovating the operations of the Vietnam Fatherland Front, socio-political organisations, and mass associations to make them truly represent the legitimate rights and interests of the people, and better serve national development, said the Party General Secretary.

He also emphasised the necessity to maintain and strengthen the Party's absolute and direct leadership in all aspects, as well as the State's centralised and unified management and administration for the cause of national building and safeguarding; while ensuring national interests at the highest level based on the basic principles of the United Nations Charter, international law, equality, cooperation, and mutual benefit; and firmly pursuing the goal of national independence and socialism; and maintaining a peaceful, stable environment and favourable conditions for the building and development of the country.

Attention should also be paid to increasing appropriate investment in building all-people national defence, people's security and people's armed forces so as to meet the requirements of protecting the Fatherland early and from afar, and not being passive or surprised in all situations; intensifying international integration and improving the effectiveness of international cooperation, the Party chief stressed./.
