On behalf of the 13th Party Central Committee, he pledged to exert every effort to overcome difficulties and complete their tasks and carry forward the revolutionary achievements already reaped.

The committee will work together with the entire Party and the people to promote the glorious traditions and valuable experience of the Party and the nation, strengthen solidarity, and improve political mettle and working capacity, the leader said.

He also highlighted the determination to complete the resolution adopted at the freshly-concluded 13th National Party Congress, meeting the requirements of the revolution in the new period as well as the aspirations of the entire Party, army, and people.

The leader called for more support from former revolutionaries, former leaders of the Party, State, and Fatherland Front, socio-political organisations, agencies, ministries, soldiers, Vietnamese people at home and abroad, and international friends to help them fulfill assigned tasks.

He also extended his greetings to revolutionary veterans, heroic Vietnamese mothers, distinguished guests, delegates, compatriots both at home and abroad, soldiers and international friends on the occasion of the upcoming Lunar New Year (Tet) Festival.
