91 years of tradition of the Party Committee Office: Responsibility and pride

Deeply engrave Uncle Ho's teachings

In the early period of the revolution, when the Party was still operating secretly (1930 - 1945), the Party Committee's office was responsible for printing Party documents and leaflets, communications, transporting and protecting cadres, etc. After the Party operated publicly, the office was considered a particularly important advisory and service agency of the Party Committee. Therefore, during his lifetime, President Ho Chi Minh once said: "Office work is of special importance, helping leaders grasp the situation. If office staff grasp the situation incorrectly, leaders will handle work incorrectly.".

Over the past 91 years, although in each period, the organizational structure, functions and tasks have changed and been supplemented, the Nghe An Party Committee Office in general and the Provincial Party Committee Office in particular have taken to heart the teachings of President Ho Chi Minh, always making efforts and striving to perform well the assigned functions and tasks. Closely coordinating with localities and units to grasp the situation, promptly advising and proposing to ensure the comprehensive leadership and direction of the Provincial Party Committee, the Provincial Party Committee Standing Committee, and the Provincial Party Committee Standing Committee in the fields of socio-economics, national defense, security, foreign affairs, Party building and the political system.

The monitoring and reflection of the results of the implementation of the Party's resolutions and directives and the performance of the function of a general information center serving the leadership are increasingly complete, accurate and in-depth.

New model - high responsibility

Currently, the implementation of the model of a general service Party Committee office poses many advantages for the Provincial Party Committee Office, but also many difficulties. To effectively implement this model, the Provincial Party Committee Office has implemented solutions to improve the quality and efficiency of work, associated with the implementation of the principles of democratic centralism, self-criticism and criticism; paying attention to political and ideological work, listening to suggestions, promptly resolving difficulties and problems, creating conditions for cadres, civil servants and public employees to promote their capacity and strengths, and successfully complete assigned tasks.
