Meeting development requirements in the new context

Talking to the press about issues surrounding Conclusion No. 127-KL/TW dated February 28, 2025 of the Politburo and Secretariat "on implementing research and proposing to continue to reorganize the apparatus of the political system", Associate Professor, Dr. Pham Minh Anh - Principal of Le Hong Phong Cadre Training School, Hanoi City said that the 2-level local government model proposed in Conclusion 127-KL/TW is very radical, revolutionary, meeting the development requirements of the country, the aspirations of scientists and the people at the present time.

Me Linh District (Hanoi City) organized a conference to thoroughly disseminate and create high consensus among cadres, party members and people in organizing the implementation of Conclusion 127-KL/TW.

According to Associate Professor Dr. Pham Minh Anh, the arrangement and construction of a 2-level local model is a policy to change the local administrative organization structure, reducing one level compared to the present. This policy aims to merge some provincial-level units, not organize the district level, and merge some commune-level units. The main difference is the number of intermediate management levels, thereby affecting the decision-making process, resource allocation and accountability.

The policy of building a two-tier local model is not only related to the administrative system (People's Council and People's Committee) but also to the Party's organizational system. Therefore, when the administrative model changes, the Party's organizational structure should also be reviewed and adjusted to ensure the Party's leadership over the local political and social system. This includes redefining the roles, functions and relationships between Party committees at all levels.

Both in theory and practice, it is confirmed that this is a very important and important policy, correct and accurate. At the same time, it is an urgent requirement to ensure the conditions to bring the country into a new era - the era of national development" - Associate Professor, Dr. Pham Minh Anh.

According to Associate Professor Dr. Pham Minh Anh, the implementation of the 2-level local model, in which the Party organization also follows the 2-level model, does not affect the leadership and direction of the Party in the cause of national development and national defense. On the contrary, it will ensure that the organization of the entire political system operates effectively, efficiently, and is ready to meet the development requirements in the new context. When there is no organization at the district level, the Party's organization and apparatus are interconnected and directly connected from the provincial level to the grassroots level.

Accordingly, it will contribute to reducing the intermediate level; strengthening the close leadership of the provincial level; improving the effectiveness of problem solving; saving resources and materials. In addition, when not organized at the district level, the grassroots Party organization is the level closest to the people, will directly lead and direct the implementation of the motto "people know, people discuss, people do, people check, people supervise, people benefit" more effectively in practice.

“The above important policy is agreed and supported by the vast majority of cadres, party members and people. After 40 years of implementing the renovation process, our country has achieved many great achievements, creating new positions and strengths. In particular, the cadres at all levels, especially at the strategic level, have become more mature, developed comprehensively in terms of quality, capacity and qualifications to meet the requirements of leadership and management when merging some provincial-level units, not organizing at the district level, merging some commune-level units; implementing the 2-level local model. In particular, the local Party organization will also ensure leanness, compactness, efficiency, effectiveness and efficiency” - Associate Professor, Dr. Pham Minh Anh shared.

Promoting the decentralization of power to grassroots Party organizations

Regarding the requirements and tasks when promoting the delegation of power to grassroots Party organizations, Associate Professor, Dr. Pham Minh Anh said that Article 21, Clause 1 of the Charter of the Communist Party of Vietnam states: Grassroots Party organizations (grassroots Party cells, grassroots Party committees) are the foundation of the Party, the political nucleus at the grassroots level. In the context that the country is entering a "New Era - the era of national development" and in the immediate future, promoting the delegation of power to grassroots Party organizations will pose many requirements.

Specifically, for perfecting and consolidating the organization; improving the leadership capacity and fighting strength of grassroots Party organizations; reviewing, perfecting, amending and supplementing the functions, tasks, powers, responsibilities and working relationships of various types of grassroots Party organizations. Thereby, ensuring compliance with the innovation process, streamlining the Party's apparatus and political system is the first task when delegating power to grassroots Party organizations.

At the same time, perfecting the grassroots Party organization in sync with innovation and reorganization of the political system and personnel work. Innovating the grassroots Party organization model in agencies of the Party, State, Fatherland Front and socio-political organizations, and mass organizations when they are no longer under the district level.

On March 5, the Standing Committee of the Hanoi Party Committee issued Plan 303-KH/TU to disseminate and thoroughly implement Conclusion No. 127-KL/TW. The content of the plan emphasizes the purpose of extensive dissemination and thorough understanding, creating high unity of thought and action throughout the Party Committee and the political system of the capital, and consensus in society during the implementation process. Successfully implement the policy of innovation, streamlining the organization and apparatus of the political system to be streamlined, operate smoothly, effectively, efficiently, and effectively to meet the requirements and tasks in the new period.

In addition, the issue continues to be to review, revise, supplement, perfect and implement well the functions, tasks, powers, responsibilities and working relationships of the types of grassroots Party organizations. Specifically, continue to review, revise, supplement, perfect and strictly implement the regulations on the functions, tasks, powers, responsibilities and working relationships of the types of grassroots Party organizations to ensure that they are consistent with reality and new requirements and tasks.

Strictly implement the principle of the Party's unified leadership in the innovation of the political system's organizational apparatus. "This is an important task to enhance the Party's leadership role and build a streamlined, efficient, effective, and efficient political system right in the process of reorganizing the apparatus" - Associate Professor, Dr. Pham Minh Anh emphasized.

At the same time, it is necessary to continue to innovate the content and leadership methods of grassroots Party organizations and improve the quality of Party cell activities. This is a very important requirement and task, ensuring the successful implementation of the Party's guidelines and policies, the State's policies and laws, and resolutions and directives of higher levels. Focus on improving the quality of promulgation and effective implementation of resolutions and annual work plans of Party committees and consider this a key point in innovating the leadership methods of grassroots Party organizations when they are no longer under the district level.

In particular, it is necessary to promote political theory training, continue to increase the proportion of secretaries and deputy secretaries of grassroots Party committees with advanced political theory qualifications. Along with the above-mentioned main requirements and tasks, grassroots Party organizations need to continue to synchronously and effectively carry out all aspects of Party work, focusing on ideological work and Party member work.

From the reality at the Hanoi Party Committee, Associate Professor, Dr. Pham Minh Anh said that the Hanoi Party Committee has many types of grassroots Party organizations, so the leadership, direction, and timely grasp of the situation in all grassroots Party organizations in the entire City Party Committee is very important.

"The implementation of the model of organizing the local Party organization at two levels in Hanoi, especially when we are in the process of organizing Party Congresses at all levels, needs to continue to focus on synchronously and uniformly implementing the leadership and direction documents of the Central Committee and the Hanoi Party Committee on Party Congresses at all levels. Pay special attention to the requirements stated in the article by General Secretary To Lam on "Organizing well the Party Congresses at all levels for the 2025-2030 term". In addition, prepare and guide Party organizations at the grassroots level to prepare well the documents and draft resolutions of the Party Congress at the grassroots level in the direction of comprehensive and direct leadership and direction at the grassroots level when there is no longer a district level" - Associate Professor, Dr. Pham Minh Anh expressed his opinion.

According to Associate Professor, Dr. Pham Minh Anh, for the personnel work of Party Congresses at all levels, it is extremely important, identified by our Party as "the key of all keys", "the most important of important matters". For grassroots Party committees, in addition to the general standards of political qualities, ethics, lifestyle, and prestige, it is necessary to focus on capacity, ability to lead, direct, and manage daily work and have the ability to receive and reflect opinions directly to the City Party Committee...
