Accordingly, considering the proposal of the Central Organizing Committee on the policy of assigning and arranging work for cadres under the management of the Politburo and Secretariat after being disciplined (Submission No. 02-TTr/BTCTW, dated August 10, 2022), the Politburo concluded as follows:

1.The work arrangement for cadres under the management of the Politburo and the Secretariat after being disciplined aims to strictly implement Party discipline and order and the Politburo's Regulations on dismissal and resignation of cadres; promptly replace disciplined cadres with limited capacity and diminished prestige without waiting for the end of their term or appointment period; implement the motto "some in, some out, some up, some down" in cadre work; at the same time create conditions for disciplined cadres to have the opportunity to correct and overcome shortcomings, continue to strive, cultivate and train; contribute to strengthening the work of Party building and rectification, consolidating the trust of cadres, party members and people in the Party and the regime.

3.1.If an officer voluntarily requests early retirement or resignation, the competent authority will consider the request.

b) In case the remaining working time is 5 years or more:

- After being disciplined, if an officer voluntarily resigns, the competent authority will consider each specific case based on the actual situation at the agency, unit, or locality to arrange work in a direction of reducing one level compared to the position when he/she was disciplined. After 24 months of working in the new position, if he/she overcomes all violations and shortcomings, is assessed to have excellently completed the task, and ensures the standards and conditions, the competent authority will consider planning, appointing, and recommending him/her to run for the position he/she held or equivalent.
