Along with effectively implementing the Central Committee's resolutions on Party building, when embarking on the implementation of Resolution No. 4 of the 12th Central Committee, the Standing Committee of the Que Phong District Party Committee issued specific plans and assigned responsibility to each committee member to closely monitor the grassroots level.

Specifically, the District Party Committee issued: Plan No. 64-KH/HU dated December 29, 2016, on "studying, understanding, disseminating, and implementing the Resolution of the 4th Plenum of the 12th Central Committee of the Party"; Plan No. 65-KH/HU dated January 5, 2017, on implementing the Resolution of the 4th Plenum of the 12th Central Committee on strengthening Party building and rectification; preventing and repelling the decline in political ideology, morality, and lifestyle, and the manifestations of "self-evolution" and "self-transformation" within the Party; and Decision No. 1068-QĐ/HU dated January 5, 2017, on establishing the Standing Committee for directing the implementation of Resolution No. 04-NQ/TW dated October 30, 2016, of the Central Committee. Notice 156-TB/HU dated January 5, 2017, on the assignment of working groups to direct the review in accordance with the spirit of Resolution No. 4 of the Central Committee (12th term) at grassroots Party organizations. The Standing Committee of the District Party Committee met and developed Action Program No. 08-CTr/HU dated January 6, 2017, an action program to implement the Resolution of the Fourth Plenum of the Central Committee of the 12th term, to lead, direct, and implement it from the district level to the grassroots.

Following the review conference, the awareness of cadres, Party members, and the people regarding Party building work has significantly improved. The vast majority of cadres and Party members have faith in Marxism-Leninism, Ho Chi Minh Thought, and the leadership of the Party.

Based on the shortcomings and weaknesses identified during the review, most units developed plans to address and rectify collective deficiencies; individuals also proposed tasks and solutions for improvement and committed to implementing and correcting these shortcomings and weaknesses.

Through collective self-criticism, the Standing Committee of the District Party Committee identified 11 out of 27 manifestations. Regarding individual self-criticism of the members of the Standing Committee of the District Party Committee, the identified manifestations focused on two major groups: the group of manifestations of ideological and political degradation; and the group of manifestations of moral and lifestyle degradation.

For Party branches directly under the district, all 48/48 Party branches, after self-criticism, were concluded by the district's working groups to meet the requirements, on schedule, and completed before March 31, 2017. No unit had to undergo a re-criticism.

Party committees have frankly reviewed and clearly identified manifestations in collectives and individuals, focusing on two groups of manifestations: the group of manifestations of ideological and political degradation, concentrated in manifestations 3, 4, and 5; and the group of manifestations of moral and lifestyle degradation, mainly concentrated in manifestation 5, with no manifestations in the "self-evolution" or "self-transformation" group.

Following the review, the District Party Committee's Standing Committee developed Plan No. 70-KH/HU dated March 2, 2017, outlining 10 specific areas requiring focused leadership and guidance to address the manifestations of degradation identified after the review, in accordance with the spirit of Central Resolution 4 (12th Congress). To date, the identified issues have been largely resolved, and leadership and guidance will focus on their effective implementation in the coming period.

The Standing Committee of the Que Phong District Party Committee focuses on directing Party committees, government agencies, the Fatherland Front, and mass organizations from the district to the grassroots level to regularly evaluate the results of assigned tasks, and to find solutions to overcome limitations, especially existing problems such as: protecting forest resources, exploiting mineral resources, etc.

Through the effective implementation of the resolution's solutions, the awareness of self-criticism and criticism among Party committees, collective agencies and units, and each cadre and Party member in the district has been enhanced. The quality of self-criticism and criticism has clearly improved, increasingly promoting the spirit of democracy within the Party.

The quality of Party branch activities and the quality of cadres and Party members have become more substantive through the evaluation and classification of Party organizations and members. The responsibility of cadres and leaders, especially the heads of Party committees, agencies, and units, continues to improve, demonstrated by the consistency between "saying and doing," setting a good example, and taking the lead in leadership and guidance. The quality of cadres has been enhanced through effective leadership, management, and work efficiency.

Through resolute efforts to overcome shortcomings in many areas and the transformation in the self-awareness and exemplary conduct of each cadre and Party member, especially the leaders of Party committees and governments at all levels in Que Phong district, the people's trust in the Party is being strengthened...

Que Phong district has 4 border communes: Tri Le, Nam Giai, Hanh Dich, and Thong Thu, with 7 ethnic groups living there, of which ethnic minorities account for 90.6% (Thai 83.2%, Mong 4.1%, Khmu 3.1%, and other ethnic minorities 0.2%).

Many Party branches are located in very difficult areas, and the lives of Party members are still challenging. Despite this, thanks to timely responses and close guidance from the District Party Committee Standing Committee, good results have been achieved in implementing Resolution No. 4 of the Central Committee (12th Congress).

Based on that, the Que Phong District Party Committee will continue to overcome limitations and create profound changes in the self-awareness and exemplary conduct of each cadre and Party member, especially the heads of Party committees and governments at all levels in the district, in order to promote socio-economic development and improve the lives of the people.
