Deputy President of the Vietnam Academy of Social Sciences Dang Xuan Thanh Delivers an Address

越南社会科学翰林院副院长邓春青致辞

Deputy President of the Vietnam Academy of Social Sciences Dang Xuan Thanh pointed out in his address that this forum is being held at a time when the world landscape is undergoing profound changes that are multifaceted, unprecedented, complex, volatile, and difficult to predict, involving numerous fields such as the economy, politics, culture, society, and science and technology. The deepening of the Fourth Industrial Revolution, globalization, and digital transformation, climate change, geopolitical conflicts, successive global trade wars, and complex social unrest all pose new demands on the concepts and models of socialist state governance. The forum theme, "Socialist State Governance in the Context of the New Era," has been endowed with particularly important theoretical significance and practical value, and it also fully reflects the common concerns of Vietnam, China, and Laos in advancing the modernization of the state governance system and the development process along the socialist path. Socialist state governance concerns not only the organization and operation of state institutions but also embodies the ruling party's ability to guide the direction of development, mobilize and allocate social resources to serve the people, and promote social progress. In socialist countries such as Vietnam, China, and Laos, state governance has always been closely linked to the goals of each country's socialist construction.

越南社会科学翰林院副院长邓春青在致辞中指出，本次论坛举办之际，世界格局正经历多方面、前所未有、复杂多变且难以预测的深刻变革，涉及经济、政治、文化、社会及科技等诸多领域，第四次工业革命、全球化与数字化转型的深入、气候变化、地缘政治冲突、全球贸易战此起彼伏以及复杂的社会动荡，都对社会主义国家治理理念与模式提出了新要求。“新时代背景下的社会主义国家治理”这一论坛主题被赋予了特别重要的理论意义与实践价值，也充分体现了越南、中国和老挝三国在沿着社会主义道路推进国家治理体系现代化与发展进程中的共同关切。社会主义国家治理不仅关乎国家机构的组织与运作，更体现了执政党在引领发展方向、动员与配置社会资源以服务人民、推动社会进步等方面的能力。在越南、中国、老挝等社会主义国家，国家治理始终与各国社会主义建设目标紧密相连。

Vice President of the Lao National Academy of Social and Economic Sciences Saysamone Manodham Delivers an Address

老挝国家经济与社会科学院副院长赛松坎·马诺达姆致辞

Vice President of the Lao National Academy of Social and Economic Sciences Saysamone Manodham pointed out in his address that this forum aims to systematically summarize the theoretical achievements and practical experiences gained during the socialist construction process of various countries, conduct in-depth exchanges on key issues concerning national development paths, and jointly promote the sustained development and innovative progress of the socialist cause. Laos attaches great importance to advancing modern, efficient, and high-quality state governance and social governance. A series of guidelines and policies have been formulated around this goal, aimed at effectively reducing the burden on the people, ensuring the people's right to be masters of the country, and promoting broader democratic participation by the people. Laos has recently summarized the specific achievements, existing problems, challenges faced, and relevant experiences gained during the process of consolidating state and social governance. It looks forward to using the platform of the Socialist International Forum to conduct exchanges and share theoretical and practical experiences.

老挝国家经济与社会科学院副院长赛松坎·马诺达姆在致辞中指出，本届论坛旨在系统总结各国社会主义建设过程中的理论成果与实践经验，深入交流关于国家发展道路的关键议题，共同促进社会主义事业的持续发展与创新进步。老挝高度重视推进现代化、高效优质的国家治理与社会治理，围绕这一目标制定了一系列方针政策，旨在切实减轻民众负担、保障人民当家作主权利，推动更广泛的人民民主参与。老挝近期对国家与社会治理巩固过程中所取得的具体成就、存在问题、面临挑战及相关经验进行总结，期待借助社会主义国际论坛这一平台，开展理论与实践经验的交流与分享。

Secretary of the Party Committee of the Academy of Marxism of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences Luo Wendong Delivers an Address

中国社会科学院马克思主义研究院党委书记罗文东致辞

Secretary of the Party Committee of the Academy of Marxism of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences Luo Wendong pointed out in his address that this forum, by conducting academic exchanges and sharing practical experiences on socialist state governance and summarizing the state governance experiences of various countries, is of great significance for drawing beneficial lessons for the construction and development of each country. General Secretary Xi Jinping explicitly put forward the major proposition of "modernization of the national governance system and governance capacity" at the Third Plenary Session of the 18th Central Committee of the CPC.[1]1 The Third Plenary Session of the 18th Central Committee of the CPC, held in November 2013, was a key meeting where the decision to "comprehensively deepen reforms" was adopted, and the goal of modernizing the national governance system and capacity was first formally proposed. The Fourth Plenary Session of the 19th Central Committee of the CPC made specific arrangements for upholding and improving the system of socialism with Chinese characteristics and advancing the modernization of the national governance system and governance capacity.[2]2 The Fourth Plenary Session of the 19th Central Committee of the CPC, held in October 2019, was dedicated to the theme of upholding and improving the socialist system with Chinese characteristics and advancing the modernization of the national governance system and capacity. The Third Plenary Session of the 20th Central Committee of the CPC made important arrangements for reforms in various fields of socialism with Chinese characteristics, further deepening the understanding of the laws governing the advancement of the modernization of the national governance system and governance capacity.[3]3 The Third Plenary Session of the 20th Central Committee of the CPC, held in July 2024, focused on further comprehensively deepening reforms and advancing Chinese-path modernization. The Fourth Plenary Session of the 20th Central Committee of the CPC formulated the strategic deployment for the 15th Five-Year Plan, occupying an important position that links the past and the future in the process of basically realizing socialist modernization.[4]4 The Fourth Plenary Session of the 20th Central Committee of the CPC, held in November 2025, focused on formulating the 15th Five-Year Plan (2026-2030) for national economic and social development. In such a period, it is of great significance for socialist countries to discuss state governance together. The Academy of Marxism of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences is willing to further strengthen exchanges and dialogue with theoretical circles in socialist countries such as Vietnam and Laos, base itself on the world and national conditions, grasp the pulse of the times, continuously enrich and develop Marxism in the 21st century, and enable Marxism to demonstrate a more powerful force of truth in the process of jointly promoting the building of a community with a shared future for mankind.

中国社会科学院马克思主义研究院党委书记罗文东在致辞中指出，本次论坛围绕社会主义国家治理开展学术交流与实践经验分享，总结各国国家治理经验，为各国建设发展汲取有益经验，具有十分重要的意义。习近平总书记在党的十八届三中全会上明确提出“国家治理体系和治理能力现代化”这一重大命题。党的十九届四中全会专门就坚持和完善中国特色社会主义制度、推进国家治理体系和治理能力现代化作出部署。党的二十届三中全会对中国特色社会主义各领域改革作出重要安排，进一步深化了对推进国家治理体系和治理能力现代化的规律性认识。党的二十届四中全会制定了“十五五”规划的战略部署，在基本实现社会主义现代化进程中具有承前启后的重要地位。在这样的时期，社会主义国家共话国家治理意义重大。中国社会科学院马研院愿同越南、老挝等社会主义国家理论界进一步加强交流对话，立足世情国情，把准时代脉搏，不断丰富和发展21世纪马克思主义，在携手推动构建人类命运共同体的进程中让马克思主义展现出更强大的真理力量。

越南社会科学翰林院哲学研究所副所长武氏桥芳作引导发言

Deputy Director of the Institute of Philosophy of the Vietnam Academy of Social Sciences Vu Thi Kieu Phuong pointed out in her lead speech that the Socialist International Forum has always adhered to the ideals and beliefs of Marxism-Leninism and socialism, and has continuously carried out joint construction and normalized operation, becoming an important platform serving the parties and governments of the three countries. The purpose of this forum is to exchange experiences and research results on the following core topics: the theoretical and practical characteristics of socialist state governance models in the New Era, the leadership role of communist parties in the political system and state governance, the adaptive capacity of socialist countries to digital transformation, the knowledge economy, and international integration, solutions for improving public governance efficiency, promoting administrative reform, perfecting the rule of law, preventing and combating corruption, and implementing the people's right to be masters of the country, as well as practical experiences in the formulation, implementation, and supervision of economic and social development policies. This seminar will surely stimulate lively discussions, facilitate in-depth academic exchanges, and achieve fruitful results, thereby making practical contributions to the cause of socialist national construction and development in various countries at the levels of theoretical research and policy consultation.

越南社会科学翰林院哲学研究所副所长武氏桥芳在引导发言中指出，社会主义国际论坛始终秉持马克思列宁主义和社会主义理想信念，持续开展共同建设与常态化运作，已成为服务于三国党和政府的重要平台。本次论坛的举办旨在就以下核心议题交流经验与研究成果：新时代社会主义国家治理模式的理论与实践特征，共产党在政治体系与国家治理中的领导作用，社会主义国家应对数字化转型、知识经济与国际融合的调适能力，提升公共治理效能、推进行政改革、健全法治、防治腐败和落实人民当家作主权利的解决方案以及在经济社会发展政策的制定、执行与监督方面的实践经验。本次研讨会必将激发热烈讨论，促成深度学术交流，取得丰硕成果，从而在理论研究和政策咨询层面为各国的社会主义国家建设与发展事业作出切实贡献。

Vice President of the Academy of Marxism of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences Yu Haiqing Delivers a Plenary Speech

中国社会科学院马克思主义研究院副院长于海青作大会发言

In his plenary speech titled "Digital Technology Empowers the Governance of a Century-Old Major Party," Vice President of the Academy of Marxism of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences Yu Haiqing pointed out that party governance itself is not only a political issue but also a capacity issue. It requires both political reflection and technical consideration, and it is necessary to seize the opportunities brought by emerging digital technologies while enhancing the political consciousness of self-revolution. In recent years, the CPC has attached great importance to using digital technology to solve the unique challenges of a major party,[5]5 "Unique challenges of a major party" (大党独有难题) is a term used in CPC discourse to refer to the specific governance difficulties faced by a large, long-ruling party, such as maintaining discipline, preventing bureaucratism, and ensuring ideological unity. ensuring the maintenance of the original aspiration and founding mission and the spirit of entrepreneurship and dedication by increasing the density of major party governance; better unifying thought, will, and action by expanding the span of major party governance; improving governing capacity and leadership level by raising the height of major party governance; promptly discovering and solving its own problems by accelerating the speed of major party governance; and maintaining a clean and upright political ecosystem by upgrading the intensity of major party governance. This ensures that the CPC always remains the vanguard of the times and the backbone of the nation in comprehensively building a modern socialist country and fully realizing the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.

中国社会科学院马克思主义研究院副院长于海青在题为“数字技术赋能百年大党治理”的大会发言中指出，政党自身治理不仅是一个政治问题，也是一个能力问题，既需要从政治上思考，也需要从技术上思考，需要在增强自我革命的政治自觉的同时抓住新兴数字技术带来的机遇。近年来，中国共产党高度重视通过数字技术解决大党独有难题，以推动大党治理密度增加确保不忘初心、牢记使命和干事创业的精神状态；以推动大党治理跨度拓展更好统一思想、统一意志、统一行动；以推动大党治理高度提升提高执政能力和领导水平；以推动大党治理速度加快及时发现和解决自身存在的问题；以推动大党治理强度升级保持风清气正的政治生态，从而确保中国共产党始终成为全面建设社会主义现代化国家、全面实现中华民族伟大复兴的时代先锋和民族脊梁。

Director of the Institute of Political Science of the Lao National Academy of Social and Economic Sciences Keovichith Kaykhamphithoune Delivers a Plenary Speech

老挝国家经济与社会科学院政治学研究所所长Keovichith Kaykhamphithoune 作大会发言

In his plenary speech titled "Laos' Efficient State Governance Organizational Model: Experiences and Lessons," Director of the Institute of Political Science of the Lao National Academy of Social and Economic Sciences Keovichith Kaykhamphithoune pointed out that the organizational model of state governance concerns the organizational structure and operational paradigm established by state organs to exercise state power and serve the people. During the reform process of the state governance system in Laos over the past 50 years, the government has always followed the Party's line and policies. Based on the level of economic and social development and the actual conditions of each stage, it has established a complete organizational system covering from the central to the grassroots level. It has flexibly adopted adjustment methods such as establishment, merger, division, and dissolution according to actual conditions. Although it has undergone multiple large-scale and partial institutional adjustments, the organizational structures in each period have remained basically stable, effectively ensuring the stable operation of various components of the Lao people's democratic political system and achieving the continuous consolidation and improvement of state governance capacity.

老挝国家经济与社会科学院政治学研究所所长Keovichith Kaykhamphithoune在题为“老挝高效国家治理组织模式：经验与启示”的大会发言中指出，国家治理组织模式是关乎国家机关为行使国家权力与服务人民而建立的组织结构与运行范式。老挝在过去50年的国家治理体系改革进程中，政府始终遵循党的路线方针，依据经济社会发展水平与各阶段实际情况，建立了涵盖中央至基层的完整组织体系，根据实际条件灵活采取新建、合并、分立与撤销等调整手段，虽经历多次大规模与局部相结合的机构调整，但各时期组织机构基本保持稳定，有力保障了老挝人民民主政治体系中各组成部分的稳定运行，实现了国家治理能力的持续巩固与提高。

越南社会科学翰林院哲学研究所阮映红明作大会发言

Nguyen Anh Hong Minh of the Institute of Philosophy, Vietnam Academy of Social Sciences, pointed out in her keynote speech titled “Power Restriction in Vietnam’s Socialist State Governance” that, against the backdrop of the Party and state vigorously advancing the construction of a socialist rule-of-law state, perfecting the state governance system in accordance with the spirit of the 2013 Constitution, and implementing the policy of power restriction and anti-corruption, in-depth research and discussion on the relationship between power restriction and socialist state governance have become particularly urgent. This research has both theoretical and practical significance, as it can ensure transparent and efficient state governance that serves the people, consolidate the people’s trust, and provide impetus for the country’s rapid and sustainable development.

越南社会科学翰林院哲学研究所阮映红明在题为“越南社会主义国家治理中的权力制约”的大会发言中指出，在党和政府大力推进社会主义法权国家建设、依照2013年宪法精神完善国家治理体制、落实权力制约和反腐败方针的背景下，深入研究并探讨权力制约与社会主义国家治理之间的关联显得尤为迫切。这一研究具有理论与现实意义，能够确保国家治理透明高效、服务于民，巩固人民信任，为国家快速可持续发展提供动力。

中国社会科学院马克思主义研究院马克思主义哲学研究室主任张建云作大会发言

Zhang Jianyun, Director of the Marxist Philosophy Research Office, Institute of Marxism, Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, pointed out in his keynote speech titled “Digital-Intelligent Technology and the Transformation of Spiritual and Cultural Production Methods” that, in the current era, information technologies such as big data, the Internet, blockchain, and artificial intelligence are deeply integrated, and the digital-intelligent technology system has a huge impact on the transformation of spiritual and cultural production methods. In the actual digital cultural production and its transformation, there are many difficult problems that need to be solved, and there is also an urgent need to strengthen corresponding institutional construction and comprehensive governance.

中国社会科学院马克思主义研究院马克思主义哲学研究室主任张建云在题为“数智技术与精神文化生产方式变革”的大会发言中指出，当今时代，大数据、互联网、区块链、人工智能等信息技术深度融合，数智技术体系对精神文化生产方式变革产生巨大影响，在现实的数字文化生产及其变革中存在很多难题需要破解，也迫切需要加强相应的制度建设和综合治理。

Vilayvone Phommachanh, Director of the Institute of History and Archaeology, Lao National Academy of Social and Economic Sciences, delivered a keynote speech.

老挝国家经济与社会科学院历史与考古学研究所所长Vilayvone Phommachanh 作大会发言

Vilayvone Phommachanh, Director of the Institute of History and Archaeology, Lao National Academy of Social and Economic Sciences, pointed out in his keynote speech titled “Experience Summary on the Organization of Local Government Agencies in the Lao People’s Democratic Republic” that organizational restructuring is a concrete practice of implementing the organizational policy of “streamlined, connected, efficient, and strong.” Its essence is to achieve resource conservation and efficient utilization through optimizing institutional management, thereby attaining maximum benefits and sustainable operation goals. This process will make the institutional setup more streamlined and rational, enhance organizational resilience and execution capacity, achieve scientific job allocation, reduce the size of the civil service establishment, and establish a selective mobility mechanism for central cadres to move to local grassroots levels, thereby strengthening the practical work capacity of the front-line leadership team. The organization of local government agencies in the Lao People’s Democratic Republic has undergone an important transformation process, making positive contributions to national development, and the implementation of the tiered management policy has taken a key step in granting greater autonomy to local authorities.

老挝国家经济与社会科学院历史与考古学研究所所长Vilayvone Phommachanh在题为“关于老挝人民民主共和国地方政府机构组织的经验总结”的大会发言中指出，组织机构调整是贯彻“精简、联通、高效、强大”组织方针的具体实践，其本质是通过优化机构管理实现资源节约化、高效化利用，达成效益最大化、运行可持续化的目标。这一过程将使机构设置更加精简合理，增强组织韧性与执行力，实现岗位科学配置，缩减公务员编制规模，并建立中央干部向地方基层的选择性流动机制，从而强化一线领导队伍的实际工作能力。老挝人民民主共和国地方政府机构组织经历了重要转型历程，为国家发展作出积极贡献，而分级管理政策的实施更是在赋予地方更大自主权方面迈出关键步伐。

Nguyen Tuan Anh of the Institute of Philosophy, Vietnam Academy of Social Sciences, delivered a keynote speech.

越南社会科学翰林院哲学研究所阮俊英作大会发言

Nguyen Tuan Anh of the Institute of Philosophy, Vietnam Academy of Social Sciences, pointed out in his keynote speech titled “New Issues in Contemporary Vietnamese State Governance” that, in the process of social development, governance has become an indispensable and key field of activity within human communities, social organizations, and states. Vietnam’s state governance has a unique character: a state composed of the people, with the people as masters, and serving the people. In the current stage, Vietnam’s state governance is in a period of transformation, facing issues such as digital transformation, the coordination of state governance with the construction of a rule-of-law state, and state governance in the context of the merger and improvement of government agencies at all levels. These need to be addressed by formulating and organizing the implementation of various decisions and development goals, leading the country into a new era of modernization, efficiency, and sustainable development.

越南社会科学翰林院哲学研究所阮俊英在题为“当代越南国家治理中的新议题”的大会发言中指出，在社会发展进程中，治理已成为人类社群、社会组织与国家内部一个不可或缺的关键活动领域。越南的国家治理具有独特性：一个由人民组成、人民当家作主、为人民服务的国家。当前阶段，越南的国家治理正处在一个变革时期，面临着数字化转型、国家治理与法治国家建设的协同、在各级政府机构合并与完善背景下的国家治理等问题，需要通过制定并组织实施各项决策与发展目标，引领国家迈入现代化、高效和可持续发展的新纪元。

Tran Anh Tuyet of the Institute of Asia-Pacific Studies, Vietnam Academy of Social Sciences, pointed out in her keynote speech titled “Advancing the Modernization of the Socialist State Governance System and Governance Capacity in the New Era: A Perspective Based on China’s Practice” that, since the 18th National Congress of the CPC [6]6 The 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, held in 2012, marked the beginning of the Xi Jinping era and the launch of the comprehensive deepening of reforms., China has continuously deepened comprehensive reforms, coordinated the advancement of various key tasks, and achieved remarkable results. China’s state governance system has demonstrated unique advantages, but it still faces many deep-seated challenges. Currently, based on its national conditions and practical experience, China is continuously exploring conceptual innovation and path breakthroughs in governance modernization: by deepening institutional and mechanism reforms, removing institutional barriers that constrain the development of productive forces, systematically improving the efficiency of the governance system and the level of governance capacity, and promoting state governance towards a more scientific, democratic, law-based, and efficient direction. Based on commonalities and differences, China and Vietnam should strengthen exchanges and mutual learning, broadly absorb global governance experience including each other’s, in order to construct a socialist governance model that fits their respective historical traditions and development stages.

越南社会科学翰林院亚太研究所陈映雪在题为“新时期推进社会主义国家治理体系和治理能力现代化：基于中国实践的视角”的大会发言中指出，自中国共产党的十八大以来，中国持续全面深化改革，协同推进各项重点任务，已取得显著成效，中国国家治理体系展现出独特优势，但仍面临诸多深层次挑战。当前，中国正基于国情与实践经验，持续探索治理现代化的理念创新与路径突破：通过深化体制机制改革，破除制约生产力发展的体制壁垒，系统提升治理体系效能与治理能力水平，推动国家治理向更加科学、民主、法治、高效的方向迈进。基于共同点与差异性，越中双方应加强交流互鉴，广泛吸收包括彼此在内的全球治理经验，以构建契合本国历史传统与发展阶段的社会主义治理模式。

Pan Jin’e, former Director of the International Communist Movement Research Department, Institute of Marxism, Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, pointed out in her keynote speech titled “China, Vietnam, and Laos’ Socialist Modernization Radiates the Vitality of the Times” that achieving modernization is an inevitable trend in the transformation of human society from tradition to modernity and a basic path for socialist countries to achieve national prosperity and people’s happiness. China, Vietnam, and Laos, as socialist countries, have combined the basic principles of Marxism with their own national conditions, based on their own history, culture, development stages, and basic national conditions, and have embarked on socialist modernization paths with distinct characteristics, radiating the vitality of world socialism in the contemporary era.

中国社会科学院马克思主义研究院国际共产主义运动研究部原主任潘金娥在题为“中国越南老挝社会主义现代化焕发时代活力”的大会发言中指出，实现现代化是人类社会从传统向现代转型的必然趋势，是社会主义各国实现国家繁荣、人民幸福的基本路径。中国、越南、老挝作为社会主义国家，将马克思主义基本原理与本国实际相结合、立足本国历史文化、发展阶段和基本国情，走出了各具特色的社会主义现代化道路，焕发了世界社会主义的时代活力。

Ousavanh Thiengthiepvongsa, Director of the Institute of Socio-Economic Policy, Lao National Academy of Social and Economic Sciences, delivered a keynote speech.

老挝国家经济与社会科学院社会经济政策研究所所长Ousavanh Thiengthiepvongsa 作大会发言

Ousavanh Thiengthiepvongsa, Director of the Institute of Socio-Economic Policy, Lao National Academy of Social and Economic Sciences, pointed out in his keynote speech titled “Solutions to Enhance the Effectiveness of National Institutional Reform in Laos in the Process of International Integration” that Laos’ national institutional reform is an important and challenging process, aimed at lifting the country out of underdevelopment and laying a solid foundation for sustainable development in the era of international integration. Although Laos has made progress in many areas, such as streamlining institutional structures, launching the “Three Builds” policy [7]7 The “Three Builds” (三建) policy in Laos refers to building provinces as strategic units, districts as comprehensive units, and villages as foundational units, aimed at decentralizing governance and strengthening local capacity., and implementing “one-stop” services, it still faces many challenges, prominently manifested as: low efficiency of state institutions, poor coordination mechanisms, limited quality of human resources, insufficiently strict policy implementation and law enforcement, and other negative phenomena. In response to these problems, he proposed a systematic set of solutions comprising four major categories, covering aspects from enhancing political determination, improving the policy and legal system, upgrading administrative management mechanisms, developing human resources, transitioning to digital government, promoting public participation, to addressing economic and financial issues.

老挝国家经济与社会科学院社会经济政策研究所所长Ousavanh Thiengthiepvongsa在题为“提升老挝在国际融合进程中国家机构改革效能的解决方案”的大会发言中指出，老挝国家机构改革是一个重要且充满挑战的进程，旨在使国家摆脱欠发达状态，并为国际融合时代的可持续发展奠定坚实基础。尽管老挝在多个方面取得进展，如精简机构架构、启动“三建”政策及推行“一站式”服务，但仍面临诸多挑战，突出表现为：国家机构效能不高、协调机制不畅、人力资源质量受限、政策执行与法律实施不够严格，以及其他消极现象。针对上述问题，他提出一套包含四大类别的系统性解决方案，涵盖从提升政治决心、完善政策法律体系、升级行政管理机制、开发人力资源、向数字政府转型、推动民众参与，到解决经济财政问题等多个层面。

Pham Thi Thuy Nga, Director of the Institute of State and Law, Vietnam Academy of Social Sciences, pointed out in her keynote speech titled “Modern and Efficient Socialist State Governance in Vietnam in the Context of the New Era” that modern and efficient socialist state governance is a process of continuous reform, requiring the coordinated advancement of ideological innovation, institutional system improvement, and execution capacity building. Against the backdrop of digital transformation, green transformation, and the restructuring of the global landscape, Vietnam’s state governance model is steadily achieving the organic unity of rule-of-law construction, social equity, and public participation. In the new stage, Vietnam needs to continue strengthening the comprehensive leadership role of the Communist Party of Vietnam in institutional reform and the transformation of governance methods.

越南社会科学翰林院国家与法律研究所所长范氏翠娥在题为“新时代背景下越南现代高效社会主义国家治理”的大会发言中指出，现代高效的社会主义国家治理是一个持续改革的进程，需要统筹推进思想观念革新、制度体系完善与执行能力建设。在数字化转型、绿色转型与全球格局重构的背景下，越南的国家治理模式正稳步实现法治建设、社会公平与公众参与三者的有机统一。在新阶段，越南需要继续强化越南共产党在制度改革与治理方式转型中的全面领导作用。
