According to the assessment of the Hanoi Ethnic Minorities Committee, up to now, the 2024 district-level ethnic minority congresses have been successfully completed. Districts with concentrated ethnic minorities including Ba Vi, Thach That, Quoc Oai, and My Duc have selected the most outstanding delegates to officially attend the congress. Currently, preparations for the congress of ethnic minorities in the city have been completed.

The Congress continues to affirm the consistent policy of the Party and State on ethnic issues and great national unity; arouse patriotism, build and consolidate trust, and create consensus among ethnic minorities in the Party and State's innovation policy. The Congress has the task of summarizing and accurately assessing the achievements and results of ethnic work, ethnic policies, infrastructure development, hunger eradication and poverty reduction, and new rural construction in ethnic minority and mountainous areas from the 3rd Congress in 2019 to present. From there, draw lessons, develop directions, goals, tasks, and solutions for implementing ethnic work in localities and the City in the period of 2024 - 2029. At the same time, it is an opportunity to commend and honor outstanding collectives and individuals, and encourage and motivate ethnic minorities to continue to contribute to the cause of building and protecting the capital and the country.
