Speaking at the conference, Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee Nguyen Dac Vinh assessed that the organizational structure has been stable for a long time, and the work has been carried out professionally and in accordance with the prescribed framework. However, in implementing the Project on restructuring the apparatus, streamlining the payroll associated with job descriptions, the province has a Decision, a Steering Committee, a support team, and implementation to the localities, but through inspection, it is slow. Therefore, in 2017, a specific roadmap will be designed to consider this issue to reorganize the apparatus to meet the requirements of a proficient cadre and civil servant apparatus, thereby creating a basis for streamlining.

To achieve this, the Provincial Party Secretary emphasized that the Organizing Committee must truly be an architect, building an organizational chart; this organizational chart meets the requirement of looking at the province from the grassroots level to see the general, see the big issues, see the issues in principle; at the same time, when going into details, it can dissect the details. The classification of the organizational model must be very clear: administrative department, career department, in the career department there are completely autonomous career departments, there are partially autonomous departments.

In the work of developing party members, the Provincial Party Secretary also requested changes and approaches based on a comprehensive view; at the same time, it is necessary to pay attention to the quality of new party members; along with that, it is necessary to improve standards in policies to attract and recruit cadres.

Comrade Nguyen Dac Vinh also suggested that the work of planning and training cadres should be well implemented; when planning, the Party Committee must unify the structure. Especially in training and fostering cadres, it is necessary to strengthen knowledge supplementation with the motto of identifying which cadres are weak in which issue and then further training them in that issue; at the same time, linking training with practice through two very important forms: rotation and transfer.
