At the meeting, Vice Chairman Pham Anh Tuan reported that in July 2025, the Fatherland Front at all levels worked closely with member organizations to raise public awareness of major national holidays, political events, and key tasks.

These campaigns encouraged citizens to follow the Party’s guidelines, comply with State laws, and actively participate in patriotic movements and local emulation campaigns. 

The committees also launched initiatives to welcome the Party Congress at all levels for the 2025–2030 term. They supported the transition to the new two-tier government structure and took the lead in emergency response efforts following storms and natural disasters, including Typhoon No. 3.

Local branches rolled out clean-up and environmental protection campaigns under the slogan “Bright – Green – Clean – Beautiful” and provided support for poor and vulnerable households.

At the city level, the Fatherland Front Committee of Hanoi supported the construction of two Great Unity Houses for disadvantaged households in Ho Chi Minh City.

To mark the 78th Day of Martyrs and Wounded Soldiers, the Fatherland Front committees across the city conducted visits and distributed gifts. They also organized extensive clean-up campaigns at cemeteries and memorial sites, aligning with the July Green Weekend and the "Bright – Green – Clean – Beautiful" movement. 

Over 50,000 local officials, members, and youth volunteers participated. 

On the evening of July 26, 2025, simultaneous candle-lighting ceremonies honoring fallen heroes were held at 269 cemeteries across the city, drawing the participation of 22,410 individuals. The committees also paid tribute to Vietnamese Heroic Mothers, wounded and sick veterans, and families with meritorious service to the nation.

The city's Fatherland Front Committee also coordinated citizen meetings before and after the 25th session of the Hanoi People's Council and after the 9th session of the 15th National Assembly. 

The committee collected public feedback and suggestions and contributed opinions on 13 draft documents and conducted social feedback on 5 draft resolutions of the Hanoi People's Council.

During the meeting, representatives from Fatherland Front Committees of communes and wards raised several challenges they have faced under the new two-tier government model. Many localities cited staffing shortages and requested additional officially appointed personnel to meet work demands.

Others called for clearer guidelines on operating mass organizations at the grassroots level. Additionally, several delegates noted that funding for Fatherland Front activities currently comes from the leftover budgets of former districts. These allocations are based on the 2025 estimates and are insufficient to support the scale and format of Fatherland Front congresses and activities.

Representatives of the Vietnam Fatherland Front Committee of Hanoi responded to and clarified the concerns raised by delegates.

In her concluding remarks, Chairwoman Nguyen Lan Huong emphasized that the Hanoi Fatherland Front system has entered a new phase marked by a restructured organization, revised operations, and enhanced capacity.

Although the committees have only been operating under the new model for one month, they have already taken on a significant workload. Chairwoman Nguyen Lan Huong noted, "We have passed the stage of running and organizing simultaneously. Now, everything is aligned and in order, ready for the tasks ahead."

She reviewed the achievements in July—marking the first month under the new government model—and affirmed that the Fatherland Front has made notable progress, laying a strong foundation for future tasks.

Acknowledging the staffing and funding challenges at the grassroots level, Chairwoman Huong praised the dedication and commitment of local Fatherland Front officials. She pledged to consolidate all feedback and recommendations and submit them to the relevant authorities for timely resolution.

Looking ahead to August and beyond, Huong outlined four major areas of focus.

First, the Fatherland Front must actively contribute to the success of the Party Congresses at the commune and ward levels, from personnel selection and document preparation to organizing celebratory movements.

Second, the committees must organize and support activities celebrating the 80th anniversary of the August Revolution and the National Day on September 2. A key task will be designing and participating in the parade block of the Fatherland Front and other social organizations.

Third, the Fatherland Front must continue to lead patriotic emulation campaigns, especially by taking practical and impactful actions in the "Bright – Green – Clean – Beautiful" movement, starting from each household and alley.

Fourth, the Fatherland Front must improve the quality of social supervision and feedback activities, contribute to Party and government building, and truly serve as a strong bridge between the Party, the government, and the people.

To accomplish these tasks, Huong urged all delegates to uphold the spirit of being fully competent and well-prepared. She encouraged strong collaboration between senior and younger staff and emphasized leveraging digital platforms and communication tools such as the Fatherland Front's website, fan page, and newspapers. 

She also called for each committee to translate the 2025 operational theme—"Solidarity, Discipline, Quality Improvement, Timely Adaptation, for a Civilized Capital and a Happy People"—into specific goals and actions.
