Affirming that ideological work plays an extremely important role, both opening the way, accompanying and concluding the process of implementing a policy, Standing Deputy Secretary of Thanh Chuong District Party Committee, Van Nha, proposed that the Central and the province need to supplement and update knowledge in political training curriculums for the subjects, because in reality, many curriculums have been built for many years.

Along with that, it is necessary to be flexible in regulating the regime and policies for lecturers, creating conditions for facilities to apply and motivating this team to complete their tasks well; at the same time, pay attention to synthesizing public opinion, orienting public opinion and handling issues raised by public opinion in a timely manner, avoiding the situation where when there is a new "hot spot", we have to take drastic and focused action.

Regarding the work of organizing cadres, Nam Dan District Party Secretary Bui Dinh Long suggested that the province should increase the quota for advanced political theory training for localities. On the other hand, it is necessary to issue a set of criteria for evaluating cadres that are specific, quantitative and consistent throughout the province; at the same time, research should be done to have "softer" standards for the transfer and rotation of cadres from communes to districts.

Giving opinions on the field of Party inspection and supervision, Head of the Vinh City Party Committee's Inspection Committee Tran Thi Cam Tu recommended that the Central Committee should have regulations on specialized cadres to do inspection work at the grassroots level.

Comrade Tran Thi Cam Tu said that in order to prevent violations, educate cadres and party members, and strengthen trust among cadres, party members, and the people, it is required that the handling of violating cadres and party members must comply with principles and regulations; at the same time, the handling must ensure consistency in terms of the Party, government, and organizations...

Many opinions at the conference also mentioned many issues related to experience in building the political system in special regions; mass mobilization and mobilization work; strengthening party organizations and developing party members; ideological work among mountainous people, ethnic minorities, students, etc.

Concluding the conference, Provincial Party Secretary Nguyen Dac Vinh affirmed that Party building is a “key” task, taking place anytime, anywhere, to ensure the comprehensive leadership of the Party in all areas of social life. Therefore, the requirement for Party committees at all levels is to focus on Party building in all five contents of political ideology; cadre organization; mass mobilization; inspection and supervision; and internal affairs.

In practice, resolutions issued without discussion, without detailed explanation for cadres, party members and people to understand, without regular inspection and supervision are very difficult to put into practice, Provincial Party Secretary Nguyen Dac Vinh emphasized the importance and requirement that studying, thoroughly understanding and implementing resolutions must be substantive, focusing on resolutions and specialized projects of each sector and field.

In addition, the Provincial Party Secretary also requested that it is necessary to be substantive in recognizing and evaluating the implementation of Directive 05 of the Politburo and Resolution 4 of the Central Committee (term XI, term XII) among all Party members, especially cadres and leaders, whether they have truly been exemplary or not; including being exemplary in ethics and lifestyle, in performing assigned duties and responsibilities, and being exemplary in recognizing one's shortcomings, limitations, and mistakes, thereby having the awareness to be exemplary in correcting them.

"If when officials make mistakes or commit errors, they do not set an example and correct them, but instead conceal their mistakes and errors, and officials and organizations also cover them up, it will be difficult to solve the problems, shortcomings, and limitations that are arising at each level, each sector, and each locality," Comrade Nguyen Dac Vinh emphasized.

The Provincial Party Secretary also raised the requirement to accurately and comprehensively assess the work of organizing cadres; from there, propose and provide solutions to solve practical problems; aim to increase the rate of selecting accurate cadres, assign tasks more reasonably; evaluate cadres frankly, impartially, and objectively on the basis of setting out clear criteria and closely following the spirit of Resolution 7 of the Central Committee (term XII), which is to evaluate the entire work process in conjunction with the results of the tasks and results of the unit that one directly leads and manages.

Regarding the work of developing party members, the Provincial Party Secretary noted that in addition to ensuring targets, it is also necessary to focus on the quality of party members' input.

Setting out the requirement to summarize lessons learned in mass mobilization work, political system building work, and internal affairs work to continue directing in the coming time, Provincial Party Secretary Nguyen Dac Vinh emphasized that if inspection and supervision work is done well, it will contribute to cleaning up the apparatus and promoting progress and good models.

Therefore, it is required that party committees at all levels must be more vigorous and clear in their inspection and supervision work. Localities need to be more proactive in resolving issues arising at the grassroots level, avoiding passively waiting for instructions and urging from higher levels.
