The nature of the people's government continues to make up the country's strength in the new situation!

(Baonghean) - Over the past 72 years, although the world has undergone many changes and the world order has changed many times, Vietnam has still done well in building a government of the people, by the people, and for the people and is increasingly moving towards perfection.

Comrade NGUYEN DAC VINH - Member of the Party Central Committee, Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee, Head of the Provincial National Assembly Delegation gave an interview to Nghe An Newspaper

Reporter:Dear Comrade Provincial Party Secretary, looking back at 72 years of returning power to the people, through many ups and downs, that government has always been maintained and continuously grown. Could you summarize some achievements in the process of building and protecting the people's government from the August Revolution and National Day September 2, 1945 to the present?

Comrade Nguyen Dac Vinh:The success of the August Revolution led to the birth of the Democratic Republic of Vietnam, now the Socialist Republic of Vietnam. The great victory of the August Revolution solved the fundamental problems of the people's national democratic revolution led by our Party and leader Nguyen Ai Quoc - Ho Chi Minh: Overthrow the feudal colonial yoke, seize power into the hands of the people, turn our country from a semi-feudal colony into an independent country, our people from slavery to masters of their country and destiny. Since then, our people have united, united, wholeheartedly followed the Party and beloved Uncle Ho, maintained the government and sovereignty, protected and promoted the great achievements of the August Revolution.

Since its inception, the young Government has shouldered the task of both resistance and nation-building. To protect independence, our people have gone through two great wars: carrying out a comprehensive, long-term, all-people resistance war against French colonialism, which culminated in the historic Dien Bien Phu victory in 1954; while building socialism in the North, we have also carried out a resistance war against the US to save the country, achieving the great victory in the spring of 1975, completely liberating the South, and unifying the country. Not only carrying out the task of defending the Fatherland, we have also fulfilled our noble international obligations.

Implementing the renovation process, Vietnam has gradually overcome difficulties and challenges, moving forward steadily: the economy has grown continuously at a high level, culture and society have been taken care of, national defense and security have been maintained. The country's position has been raised to a new level when establishing diplomatic relations with most countries and territories in the world, being an official member of more than 70 international and regional organizations, investing in markets on all continents; participating in more than 500 bilateral and multilateral agreements in many fields, establishing strategic and comprehensive partnerships with many powerful countries.

Over the past 72 years, the people's government at all levels in Nghe An has grown stronger and stronger. In a province with a low starting point, weak economic infrastructure, and people's lives in many places still difficult and backward, Nghe An has risen to shoulder many important responsibilities and made great contributions to the country during the resistance wars and in the period of innovation and integration.

Nowadays, Nghe An is gradually becoming the economic and cultural center of the North Central region with development in all aspects. The economy has grown quite well and shifted in the right direction, attracting increasing investment. The infrastructure system is focused on building in a synchronous and modern direction. People's lives and social welfare activities are gradually improved. National defense and security are strengthened, foreign affairs activities are promoted. The management and operation capacity of State administrative agencies, the quality of civil servants are increasingly improved, and administrative reform is focused.

The investment environment has been significantly improved and the provincial competitiveness has been continuously improved. The effective implementation of Directive No. 26 of the Prime Minister on “strengthening discipline and order in state administrative agencies at all levels” and Directive 17 of the Provincial Party Standing Committee on “strengthening discipline and order in agencies and units in the province” are contributing to the smooth operation of the state administrative apparatus in the province, with many improvements in the quality and efficiency of serving the people.

Reporter:Besides the important achievements mentioned above, in theory and practice, the State of the people, by the people and for the people has been revealing some existing limitations. How do you perceive and evaluate this issue?

Comrade Nguyen Dac Vinh:The State of the people, by the people and for the people in Vietnam has gone through 72 years of development, besides the fundamental advantages, there are still some shortcomings, problems, and limitations that give rise to negativity. With the spirit of facing the truth, many problems have been identified such as: The state administrative apparatus is still cumbersome, the staff is large but not strong.

The effectiveness and capacity of state management in many areas are unclear, and the capacity of economic management and administration is still limited and weak. Corruption and waste still occur at a serious level, with large losses and complex nature. The situation of civil servants and public employees causing trouble, negativity and injustice is still common. The implementation of democratic forms still has many limitations, especially in the organization of implementation, inspection, supervision and handling of violations. The people's right to mastery has not been fully respected and promoted.

The above-mentioned weaknesses and limitations are due to many reasons such as: Vietnam's public administration system still has many shortcomings. Regulations on responsibilities and mechanisms for handling responsibilities in cases causing serious consequences due to lack of responsibility are still lacking and not specific. The system of tools and conditions for law enforcement is not uniform. Vietnam's legal system is still lacking in quantity, weak in quality and has poor enforcement capacity. The treatment regime, salary and allowance levels for state officials, civil servants and public employees are still low...

Reporter:According to you, to meet the requirements of developing the homeland and country in the new situation, what tasks and solutions need to be implemented so that the people's government can continue to be maintained and promote its nature of the people, by the people, and for the people?

Comrade Nguyen Dac Vinh:To continue to perfect and promote the nature of the State of the people, by the people and for the people in the new situation, we have much to do. Among them, some contents that have been, are being and will continue to be focused on include:

Firstly, vigorously implement the construction of a socialist rule-of-law state according to the 2013 Constitution, perfecting the socialist-oriented market economic institution. This is extremely important, because if the country wants to be stable and develop, deeply integrate and achieve many victories, it must have a perfect legal system, a perfect political institution, democracy and discipline are guaranteed. Along with that is building a constructive, honest government, acting for the people and businesses.

The people's government apparatus at all levels must learn and follow President Ho Chi Minh's style of being close to the people, for the people, and respecting the people. Implementing these contents well will contribute to liberating people's strength, encouraging and promoting labor, production, and business. Creating a peaceful, stable, orderly, and disciplined environment, promoting cooperation and development.

Second, effectively implement administrative reform in all areas. It is necessary to pay special attention to streamlining the payroll, improving the quality of cadres, civil servants and workers in state administrative agencies. Ensure that the state administrative agency system is streamlined, dynamic and modern, with a team of cadres and civil servants who are proficient in their jobs, have a high sense of responsibility, have high professional capacity and meet the requirements of building a good office culture. It is necessary to have appropriate salary and allowance policies, ensuring that the legitimate income of cadres, civil servants and workers in state administrative agencies has a living standard that is quite good compared to the general average.

Third, the Central Government needs to have open policies and mechanisms so that each locality can promote its initiative and creativity to maximize its internal strength, attract external resources, and make good use of its own conditions and potential strengths. For Nghe An, it is necessary to continue to improve policies and mechanisms to attract investment, modernize infrastructure to serve socio-economic development, and serve people's lives. Create favorable conditions in terms of mechanisms and infrastructure to promote the development of clean industries, high-tech agriculture, tourism, services, finance - banking, etc.

Encourage and facilitate people to apply new science and technology, expand production and business, and ensure sustainable income for people. Focus on building stimulus policies, encouraging and attracting investment for development in important dynamic areas to create major breakthroughs, from urban areas to economic zones, industrial zones, from coastal plains to the vast and potential Western Nghe An region.

Fourth, build and protect the great national unity bloc. Promote the combined strength of the Fatherland Front and organizations at all levels, gather, propagate, mobilize, resolutely repel plots of incitement, division, and defeat the "peaceful evolution" plot of hostile forces to sabotage the Party and State, and destroy the great national unity bloc. Educate the tradition of patriotism, uphold the sense of responsibility in carrying out the task of building and defending the Fatherland. Promote the people's mastery to build an increasingly strong and progressive people's government.

Over the past 72 years, despite many changes in the world and many changes in the world order, Vietnam has still done well in building a government of the people, by the people and for the people and is increasingly moving towards perfection. In the coming period, each cadre, party member and the masses need to continue to protect and promote the achievements, strive to compete, train, work, study, fight and produce, legitimately enrich themselves, their families, their homeland and society, which is also a contribution to increasing the potential and strength to continue successfully carrying out the cause of building and protecting the Fatherland, protecting the government and sacred sovereignty!

Reporter:Thank you very much, comrade!
