Things to do now

In his speech directing the conference, General Secretary To Lam emphasized the requirements of the Party Central Committee for Party committees, Party organizations, agencies, units, localities and leaders to deploy the necessary work immediately after the conference.

Proactively and actively do a good job of disseminating, propagating, mobilizing, and orienting ideology in your agency, unit, locality, and organization, as well as participating in orienting public opinion, ensuring solidarity, consensus, and high unity among cadres, party members, civil servants, public employees, workers, and people of all walks of life regarding the Party's major policies, especially the revolution in streamlining and streamlining the organizational apparatus in the political system.

Focus on directing and drastically implementing tasks to reorganize and streamline the apparatus according to the projects and plans approved by the Central Government.

With the new administrative organization model, the provincial level is both the level that implements policies from the Central Government and the level that issues policies in the province and city, and directly directs and manages the activities of the commune level in the area. The commune level mainly implements policies issued by the Central Government and the provincial level; is strengthened with decentralization and delegation of authority and has the authority to issue legal documents to decide on the organization of law enforcement in the area, and decide on issues under its authority.

Ensure that agencies, units and organizations operate continuously, smoothly, effectively and efficiently before, during and after the arrangement, without interruption of work, without leaving vacant tasks, areas or fields, and without affecting the normal operations of agencies, units, organizations and the People.

Take the initiative in tasks of arranging, assigning, and using cadres, civil servants, and public employees, ensuring the retention of talented people, and implementing well the regime and policies for those affected and affected; prepare a full legal basis, creating the most favorable conditions for arrangement; take the initiative in plans for managing, using, and handling assets, offices, and official residences; absolutely avoid loss, waste, and negativity when carrying out the work of arranging and streamlining the organizational apparatus.

Regarding the organization of congresses at all levels in merged and consolidated localities, congresses at commune and provincial levels should be organized immediately after the administrative unit is reorganized. Therefore, it is necessary to have very close leadership and direction to ensure that the congresses are in accordance with regulations and are substantive, not formal.

General Secretary To Lam noted issues related to the organization of party congresses at all levels. It is necessary to soon supplement and complete the documents of the congresses at their level based on the new draft documents of the Central Committee. For provinces that are merged or consolidated, the Standing Committees must discuss with each other to develop documents for the new provincial congress. Documents must be developed in the spirit of the "expanded development space" of the new province. It is not a matter of mechanically aggregating documents of the old province into documents of the new province. Merged communes must also follow this spirit.

Regarding personnel, central agencies will have specific instructions on criteria and standards. "The highest standards must be set because of work requirements, then other criteria," General Secretary To Lam emphasized. Accordingly, the Standing Committees at the provincial level (with mergers and consolidations) must discuss this issue thoroughly with each other, creating high unity in implementation, especially in arranging heads of agencies after the merger. For issues that have not been agreed upon, the Politburo and Secretariat assigned to the area will guide and direct (provinces also need to assign provincial Party Committee members to guide and direct commune-level congresses).

Ensure the roadmap, progress, and procedures (especially the process of collecting community opinions according to the grassroots democracy regulations) on amending the legal corridor, on the time to end district-level activities, merge communes, arrange and merge provinces as the Resolution has been passed with a spirit of urgency, "running and lining up at the same time" but must be effective and practical.

Emphasizing that the work ahead is very complicated and difficult, the practical demands of life are urgent, and the people and party members are waiting, the General Secretary affirmed that this is a great challenge, and at the same time an opportunity for each Central Committee member to demonstrate their sense of responsibility to the Party, the country and the people.

General Secretary To Lam called on the entire Party, people and army to continue to unite, make efforts to overcome difficulties and challenges, successfully carry out the task of rearranging administrative units, streamlining the apparatus of the political system in the spirit of Resolution No. 18-NQ/TW of the 12th Party Central Committee, the GDP growth target of 8% or more and the socio-economic development goals, ensuring national defense, security and foreign affairs in 2025, successfully organize the Party congresses at all levels for the 2025-2030 term towards the 14th National Congress of the Party and successfully implement the strategic development goals that have been set, bringing the country and people into an era of prosperous, prosperous and happy development.
