The Politburo noted that attention should be paid to training, fostering, and assigning young cadres, female cadres, ethnic minority cadres, and scientific and technological cadres, but not to lower standards because of structure. Absolutely avoid local tendencies, ideologies, "group interests," and negativity in assigning, assigning, and recommending cadres.
In addition, the Politburo emphasized that it will not consider, assign, arrange, or recommend to hold higher positions or more important positions for officials who have been disciplined during the 2020-2025 term or have information about their responsibilities in cases, incidents, or conclusions that are being investigated, inspected, or examined by competent authorities.
The Politburo also stated the principle: At the time of merger, the number of vice chairmen of the People's Council, vice chairmen of the People's Committee and deputy heads of affiliated agencies and units may be more than prescribed. At the same time, the assignment and arrangement of the number of Party Committee members, standing committee members, and Party Committee inspection committee members may be more in some affiliated agencies and units.
However, the Politburo noted that after 5 years, the number and arrangement of personnel will be implemented according to regulations.
For party committees at commune, ward and special zone levels (after consolidation, merger or new establishment),It is possible to consider and arrange for provincial-level Party Committee members to be Party Committee Secretaries at the commune level.
In special cases, if the Party Committee has an important position, economic scale, developed urban transport infrastructure, large number of Party members and population, it is possible to consider and arrange personnel who are members of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee or City Party Committee to be the Party Committee Secretary.
Regarding the standards for Party Committee members, Party Committee inspection committees, leadership and management positions of agencies and units in the political system, they are basically implemented according to Regulation No. 89.
In addition, it is necessary to base on the criteria for Party Committee members stated in the new Directive of the Politburo on Party Congresses at all levels for the 2025-2030 term towards the 14th Party Congress and related regulations of the competent authority for cadre management. In particular, it is necessary to specify more clearly the political criteria; professional qualifications, leadership capacity; specific results and products... of cadres under the management of the Standing Committees of Provincial and Municipal Party Committees (including commune-level cadres).
