Accordingly, to build a strong grassroots political system, many factors are needed. First of all, we must take the building and strengthening of grassroots Party organizations as the core. Thereby, we can promptly solve practical problems and meet the needs of the people.

In addition to mobilizing many solutions for socio-economic development, Party building work also needs to be given top priority. Admitting that the work of recruiting new Party members is facing many difficulties, especially in current practical conditions, the Provincial Party Secretary also said that the biggest difficulty is not due to the source of local youth and laborers going to work far away, but above all, the need for proactiveness from local leaders.

According to comrade Nguyen Dac Vinh, Thanh Thinh commune can create local resources by selecting, training, fostering and honoring typical individuals in the area, along with implementing policies to attract cadres and party members to work in the locality.

The Provincial Party Secretary noted that joining the Party is to contribute and not for any other purpose, so the Thanh Thinh Commune Party Committee should also be flexible and expand the target group for admission. These could be excellent union members, good examples of production and business.

For the government system, it is essential to operate in an orderly and efficient manner. To do so, there must be a spirit of progress in the entire collective. In particular, corruption and waste must not occur. The government must be close to the people, solving the problems that the people demand and that are raised by reality.

Regarding the rotation of cadres, Provincial Party Secretary Nguyen Dac Vinh affirmed that this work aims to train and develop cadres. Therefore, the arrangement of cadres must be reasonable, impartial and objective, avoiding the situation where the rotation is concentrated in easy and favorable areas, while difficult areas are lacking in capable cadres.

Regarding the Fatherland Front and socio-political organizations, comrade Nguyen Dac Vinh reminded Thanh Thinh commune not to let these organizations be administratively operated. The Fatherland Front and organizations must continue to closely connect with the people on the basis of mobilization and persuasion, only then will they create solidarity between the Party, the State and the people.
