Prime Minister Le Minh Hung, Chairman of the Central Council for Emulation and Commendation, addresses the council’s meeting in Hanoi on July 6.

The council reviewed its performance and the implementation of emulation and commendation work during the first half of the year, agreed on key tasks for the remainder of 2026, and considered nominations for the conferment and posthumous conferment of the “Hero of the People's Armed Forces” and “Hero of Labour” titles on collectives and individuals with outstanding achievements.

Addressing the meeting, PM Hung recognised the active participation of ministries, sectors, localities, citizens and businesses in emulation movements and commendation work, which provided important momentum for the country's recent achievements.

A report by the council showed that emulation movements and commendation work continued to receive close attention from ministries, sectors and localities, contributing to the fulfilment of urgent and key tasks while supporting socio-economic development, national defence, security and external relations.

On April 23, 2026, the PM issued Directive No. 15 launching an emulation movement to successfully implement annual socio-economic development tasks and the 2026–2030 five-year plan under the Resolution of the 14th National Party Congress.

On June 13, he launched the national emulation campaign titled “Determined to achieve sustainable double-digit growth during 2026–2030”.

On July 1, the Government leader signed Decision No. 1181 approving a nationwide implementation plan for the campaign across ministries, sectors and localities.

Efforts to publicise, honour and replicate exemplary role models were also strengthened. Many outstanding individuals and examples of good deeds were recognised and rewarded, creating a strong ripple effect throughout society, reinforcing public confidence and fostering national solidarity and the spirit of striving to overcome difficulties, said the report

PM Hung, however, pointed to a number of shortcomings, and called for continued efforts to refine the legal framework governing emulation and commendation, particularly through the dissemination of the revised Law on Emulation and Commendation and the timely issuance of implementing regulations.

Relevant agencies should promptly consolidate emulation and commendation councils at all levels while promoting appropriate decentralisation and delegation of authority, alongside stronger inspection and supervision to prevent misconduct, he asked.

The PM urged council members to play a more active role in reviewing and monitoring the implementation of emulation movements within their assigned sectors and clusters, identifying effective models and good practices for commendation while promptly reporting local difficulties to enable the council to propose appropriate solutions.
