Speaking at the opening, Politburo member and President of the VFF Central Committee Nguyen Thien Nhan said that the conference aims to evaluate VFF operations over the last six months of 2015 and map out direction for the remaining months.

The VFF Central Committee has finalised documents and formed advisory councils, while co-ordinating and implementing its role in supervision and social criticism. Over the last year, the VFF Central Committee has signed eight co-ordinated monitoring programmes at the central level with relevant mass organisations and agencies, VFF President Nhan stated.

Reports on the results of the Front’s operations during the first half showed that major policies on programme renewal set by the VFF have been thoroughly implemented by VFF at all levels and member organisations, creating a strong consensus on objectives and principle of action in the whole system, while laying an important basis for the implementation of tasks set by the Front in during its current tenure.

For the second half of this year, the Front has set a target to continue improving the efficiency of communication campaigns to gather people and consolidate the great national unity bloc, while promoting its role of representing and protecting the rights and legal interests of the people, of monitoring and social debate, as well as participating in Party building work and governmental construction.

VFF President Nhan urged participants at the conference to discuss and give opinions on the VFF operational restructuring on ethnic and religious work, and implementation of the movement on building cultural life in residential areas. Comments and suggestions from leaders of local VFF committees was important for the Presidium of the VFF Central Committee to define views and tasks, as well as specific renewal solutions, Nhan stressed.

Delegates at the conference said that the innovative solutions were to mobilise resources in the people to effectively implement movements and campaigns launched by the VFF, particularly the national target programme for building new-style rural areas and civilised urban areas, and sustainable poverty reduction during the 2015-2020 period and the following years.

The innovation would help reduce duplicate deployment content and ease pressure for local VFF members, in addition to clarifying the functions and tasks of the VFF and other socio-political organisations, and set out the basic objectives and evaluation framework criteria for VFF campaign implementation in accordance with each region and locality.
