Before the merger, the Provincial Party Committee's Propaganda and Mass Mobilization Committee performed well in advising the Provincial Party Committee to deploy tasks.

Acknowledging and appreciating the results of the Board's activities in recent times, the Provincial Party Secretary emphasized that up to now, it can be affirmed that the merger of the two boards is a correct and appropriate policy of the Party Central Committee, because propaganda and mass mobilization work are more closely linked together.

Sharing the difficulties and obstacles that the Board is facing, Provincial Party Secretary Nguyen Duc Trung said that in the general context with many difficulties, rapid, complicated, unpredictable developments, it has a great impact on all areas of the province, including propaganda and mass mobilization work.

Faced with that requirement, propaganda and mass mobilization work must play an important role, being "the eyes and ears to grasp ideology, a bridge between the Party and the people, creating trust among the people in the Party's leadership".

The strength of the political system stems from the trust of cadres, party members and people. And propaganda and mass mobilization work must be the core force in building, spreading and consolidating trust. From that trust, it contributes to creating consensus, maintaining political stability, creating conditions for achieving socio-economic development goals.

Emphasizing the tasks of the Provincial Party Committee's Propaganda and Mass Mobilization Department, in the coming time, with the important position and role of propaganda and mass mobilization work, Provincial Party Secretary Nguyen Duc Trung emphasized 3 general requirements.

Firstly, the Provincial Party Committee's Propaganda and Mass Mobilization Commission needs to closely coordinate with specialized advisory agencies of the Provincial Party Committee, the Provincial Fatherland Front, socio-political organizations, party organizations, and agencies in the political system to proactively and promptly advise the Provincial Party Committee on handling related issues, in accordance with the new situation and new requirements. The agencies must also support and closely coordinate with the Provincial Party Committee's Propaganda and Mass Mobilization Commission.

Second, the Board must improve combativeness, persuasiveness, and practical effectiveness in each work content.

Third, closely link propaganda and mass mobilization work with the province's key tasks, especially Party building and building a strong political system.

Provincial Party Secretary Nguyen Duc Trung also requested the Committee to focus on promoting the spirit of solidarity, unity, and upholding principles in implementing work, especially the principle of democratic centralism. In particular, solidarity must be substantive, first of all solidarity within the leadership, solidarity based on work requirements; democracy, listening, open-mindedness, and acceptance for the common work, for the common good, and for the development of the province.

In addition, the Committee needs to continue to thoroughly and fully grasp the functions, tasks, positions, and special roles of the Party's propaganda and mass mobilization work in the political system in the new context, new situation, new requirements, and new organization. In work, it is necessary to ensure the 5 clear principles: Clearly assign people, clearly assign work, clearly assign responsibilities, clearly assign time, and clearly assign results.

Continue to review regulations on functions and tasks, and make appropriate adjustments. Most importantly, promote work efficiency; clearly assign focal points and tasks in the spirit of one task having only one focal point, and one focal point performing many tasks.

The Provincial Party Committee's Propaganda and Mass Mobilization Department must constantly innovate in content, leadership methods, methods, and working style to ensure systematic, serious, creative, flexible implementation, suitable to characteristics and situations, meeting the realities and requirements set forth in the new context and new situation.

Emphasizing more clearly the tasks of the Board in various fields, Provincial Party Secretary Nguyen Duc Trung said that first of all, it is necessary to unify the ideology within the Board's cadres, party members, civil servants, and workers and within the province's propaganda and mass mobilization system.

In the propaganda task, this is a difficult task, to meet the requirements of having a deep and broad understanding of the new policies and guidelines of the Central and the province for implementation; innovating the forms and contents of propaganda to be more diverse, attractive, concise, easy to understand, and effective; paying attention to improving the quantity, quality, and capacity of the team of reporters, lecturers, and experts.

At the same time, continue to strengthen the organizational apparatus and improve the quality of the staff doing propaganda and mass mobilization work. First of all, it is necessary to innovate thinking and working methods to meet increasingly higher job requirements in the spirit of grasping, understanding deeply, proactively and promptly advising the Provincial Party Committee.

The Provincial Party Committee's Propaganda and Mass Mobilization Department must be a pioneer in implementing innovation, approaching new requirements, using new methods, and digital transformation in implementing tasks to improve work efficiency and improve the leadership and direction of propaganda and mass mobilization work.

Continue to pay attention to the work of building the Party and mass organizations in the agency, first of all, building the Party organization in the Board, in the propaganda and mass mobilization system to ensure political, ideological and ethical strength; build a team of cadres with a firm ideological stance, improve political mettle, improve professional qualifications to meet work requirements in the new situation. Proactively pay attention to motivating the spirit, working conditions, and remuneration for the team of cadres, civil servants, and workers doing propaganda and mass mobilization work.
