New Year, great joy

So, after 17 years, since the Vietnamese football team won the first AFF Cup championship, once again the shouts of "Vietnam is the champion" were raised at Rajmanggala Stadium - Thailand.

Representatives of the units presented awards to the Vietnam National Team, including Mr. Le Ngoc Son (third from right), General Director of Petrovietnam, on behalf of the Group, presenting 2 billion VND to the coaching staff and players.

1. On the evening of January 5, the Vietnamese team defeated Thailand 3-2 in the second leg of the 2024 ASEAN Cup final, winning the championship (with a total score of 5-3). When the final whistle blew after the last seconds of the suffocating second half, the people of Hanoi, along with the people of the whole country, burst into great joy at the beginning of the year, as a sign of good luck in 2025, towards the era of national development.

So, after 17 years, since the Vietnamese football team won the first AFF Cup championship, once again the shouts of "Vietnam is the champion" were raised at Rajmanggala Stadium - Thailand.

On the afternoon of January 6, the team returned home to a warm welcome, with flags and flowers, smiles and hugs. At the Government headquarters, Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh met and congratulated the brave and talented warriors. The Prime Minister said: “It was an emotional journey, culminating in the final match, especially the last goal by player Nguyen Hai Long. The ball slowly rolled into the net while the opponent was helpless before the strength of our team. It was a gentle and sweet feeling, sublimating our victory!”

Not only sports events, cultural events, every milestone of development in every field is valuable, contributing to strongly arousing national spirit, spirit of independence, confidence, self-reliance, self-reliance, national pride, and the aspiration to develop the country quickly and sustainably.

2. Another good news about socio-economic development. According to the General Statistics Office, GDP in 2024 increased by 7.09% compared to the previous year. This is a very positive growth rate in the context of unpredictable world fluctuations, and the country being affected by natural disasters and floods. This increase exceeds the set target and is an important premise for 2025 to accelerate, break through, and successfully end the 5-year term 2020-2025, with the goal of double-digit growth in the coming period to successfully achieve the 2 100-year goals in 2030 and 2045.

3. The Politburo has just issued Resolution No. 57-NQ/TW on breakthroughs in science, technology, innovation and national digital transformation. In the era of globalization, science and technology are developing rapidly. Development of science, technology, innovation and digital transformation are decisive factors in the development of countries; they are the prerequisites and the best opportunities for Vietnam to develop richly and powerfully.

With a spirit of urgency, "running and lining up at the same time", with a strong urge, from the Central to ministries, departments, branches and localities, all focus their efforts on this extremely important political task, in which it is determined to remove bottlenecks in mechanisms, remove barriers to breakthroughs in technology. General Secretary To Lam directly serves as Head of the Central Steering Committee on Science, Technology Development, Innovation and Digital Transformation. And on January 13, the Politburo will preside over the implementation of this resolution at Dien Hong Hall, which is meaningful as a Dien Hong Conference in the new era.

In the near future, the National Assembly will issue the “Law on Digital Technology Industry”, aiming to specify the goals and tasks stated in Resolution 57, aiming to master strategic technology for national development. The concept of digital technology will be clearly defined in terms of content and steps in the transformation process. Digital technology includes information technology and new generation digital technologies, such as artificial intelligence, big data, cloud computing, Internet of Things, virtual reality and augmented reality, and other similar technologies, to digitize the real world, collect, store, transmit, and process information and digital data.

The Party and State's major strategies require high determination, great efforts, concrete actions, clear responsibilities, and criticism to achieve high unity, to "discuss actions, not retreat".

The great joy of the whole country at the beginning of the year is also the joy and great responsibility of Petrovietnam. The new era of the Oil and Gas industry will include two steps: the first, from 2025 to 2035 and the second, from 2035 to 2045, when Vietnam will be 100 years old. The important task of those who seek fire in the new era is: Focus on improving the governance system, synchronizing with the institutional system, focusing on investment strategies, especially in the field of oil and gas exploration, exploitation and development of key projects in this field.
