Giving opinions on the Draft, Standing Vice President of the Vietnam General Confederation of Labour Thai Thu Xuong expressed high agreement with changing the structure of the Political Report in a concise direction, fully stating the content. The Standing Vice President suggested that there should be clear goals towards 2031. The target part has been shortened to 8 targets but needs to be supplemented, for example, in the first target on union member development, there should be additional targets on establishing grassroots trade unions and mass women's committees.

According to the analysis of the Standing Vice Chairman, the number of female union members is very high, over 50%, so there needs to be a target for the establishment of mass women's committees. The Standing Vice Chairman also proposed to add the content of social supervision and criticism, building the Party and the political system.

According to Mr. Le Van Nghia - Head of the Trade Union Facilities Project Management Board, the goals and targets are newly set out in the program but there are no solutions, for example, the target for developing union members only sets out the target of 800,000 union members/year but there are no implementation solutions.

Also giving opinions on solutions, Mr. Nguyen Ngoc An - Chairman of the Vietnam Education Union said that it is necessary to supplement the Union's solutions to promote the implementation of regimes and policies for workers.

Contributing opinions to the Draft, Mr. Bui Thanh Nhan - Chairman of the Ho Chi Minh City Labor Federation commented that the content of the Draft report is clear, highly general, from here it can clearly define the tasks and show that the Trade Union is choosing the main tasks to do.

The Chairman of the Ho Chi Minh City Labor Federation expressed his appreciation for the 5 lessons learned, especially in personnel work and operational content, focusing on the main tasks of the Trade Union. The Chairman of the Ho Chi Minh City Labor Federation highly agreed with the Digital Transformation Project because current requirements require strong digital transformation for operational efficiency.

Before the high appreciation and basic agreement with the structure of the Draft Report, VGCL President Nguyen Anh Tuan clearly stated the view that the Draft Political Report must clearly define people, clearly define tasks, clearly define results; easy to check, easy to supervise, easy to evaluate. With the current model, it is necessary to clearly define tasks, choose key tasks. For emulation movements, names need to be easy to remember.

Explaining the content of "high productivity" in the name of the emulation movement, the President of the VGCL said that currently high productivity is of concern, because the whole country is striving to achieve the double-digit growth target.
