The organizational structure of the Committee, the Standing Board, and the specialized agencies of the Fatherland Front organizations at all levels in the province are regularly consolidated and strengthened to ensure structure, composition, quantity, and quality.

Promoting the results and valuable experiences of the past term, the Điện Biên provincial Vietnam Fatherland Front Committee has determined to enter the 2025 - 2030 period with an aspiration for even stronger innovation, continuing to affirm its role as the center of unity and a solid bridge between the Party, the State, and the people. However, infrastructure is not yet synchronized, and the quality of human resources and the scale of the economy are still small; the poverty rate remains high; social evils are still complex in some aspects; and hostile forces continue to implement the “peaceful evolution” strategy, exploiting issues of democracy, human rights, ethnicity, and religion, especially social security and anti-corruption, to oppose the Party and State, plotting to destabilize political security. These are significant challenges for the Front system and socio-political organizations in performing their tasks of participating in the province’s socio-economic development and national defense-security.

To successfully achieve the goals in the coming period, the provincial Vietnam Fatherland Front Committee has identified a focus on implementing the following key tasks and programs:

First, continue to promote the tradition of unity and the spirit of self-reliance of the nation; enhance the role and position of the provincial Vietnam Fatherland Front Committee and its member organizations; diversify forms of communication, and continuously innovate content and operational methods in a practical, effective direction. Strengthen policy communication solutions to mobilize all classes of people to heighten revolutionary vigilance, and to actively fight and refute wrongful, hostile views. This will consolidate and promote the strength of the great national unity bloc, building an ever-stronger Vietnam Fatherland Front, worthy of being the center of the people’s unity.

Second, promote democracy, improve the quality and efficiency of social supervision and criticism; represent and protect the legal and legitimate rights and interests of the people; strengthen social consensus, consolidating and enhancing the people’s trust in the Party committees and government.

Third, promote patriotic emulation movements and campaigns launched by the Central Committee of the Vietnam Fatherland Front, foster creative solidarity, participate in building civilized urban areas and modern rural areas, and develop the socio-economy while maintaining national defense and security.

Strengthen communication to mobilize people in border areas to properly abide by the Party’s and State’s guidelines and policies; join hands to protect national border sovereignty, maintain security and order, and build a border of peace, friendship, cooperation, and sustainable development.
