Resolution 24: Encouraging Proactive Leadership in Vietnam

On August 22, 2026, the Political Bureau of Vietnam adopted Resolution 24-NQ/TW, focusing on enhancing the pioneering and exemplary spirit among officials and party members in the new era. This resolution aims to address the prevalent issues of fear of making mistakes and the tendency to shift responsibilities, while igniting a desire for innovation among the leadership.

Nguyen Duy Ngoc, a member of the Political Bureau and head of the Central Organization Commission, emphasized that this resolution sets a higher standard than previous directives. It mandates that officials and party members not only be encouraged to act but also take the lead and be accountable for their decisions and actions. The emphasis on being 'pioneering and exemplary' signifies the need for proactive behavior in both thought and action.

Resolution 24 marks a significant shift from merely encouraging dynamic and creative officials to establishing a clear expectation for action and responsibility. It raises the question of how officials can effectively respond to the demands of the Party, the country, and the people in the new era.

Nguyen Duy Ngoc pointed out that while not every official needs to present groundbreaking initiatives, passivity and avoidance of responsibility will not be tolerated. Officials are expected to make decisions within their authority, address challenges proactively, and report on matters beyond their jurisdiction with proposed solutions.

Moreover, the resolution directly connects the spirit of innovation and risk management to the personnel work within the Party. Those who demonstrate effectiveness and tangible results will be recognized and valued, while those who are inactive or prioritize personal interests over collective goals will face appropriate consequences.

In recent months, the officials and party members in Dong Nai have shown a high level of action and a commitment to contribute. Following the administrative merger that established Dong Nai as a city, significant developmental milestones have been achieved, marking a new chapter for the region.

During a national conference on September 3, Nguyen Duy Ngoc reiterated the importance of protecting those who are willing to take risks while decisively addressing those who do not contribute. To implement Resolution 24 effectively, the Party Central Committee will introduce mechanisms to honor and protect officials who are willing to innovate and take responsibility for the common good.

As Dong Nai continues to strive for economic growth and development, the local leadership is committed to fostering an environment where officials work diligently, even during holidays, to ensure the city’s progress. The goal is not only to achieve double-digit growth but to exceed expectations and enhance the region's economic contributions.

In conclusion, Resolution 24 represents a pivotal step towards cultivating a proactive and responsible leadership culture in Vietnam, with the aim of driving the country forward in the coming years.
