Many enthusiastic opinions

Speaking at the opening of the conference, Deputy Head of the Provincial Party Committee's Propaganda Department Tran Quoc Khanh asked the delegates to promote their intellectual spirit, focus on democracy, and contribute practical and useful ideas to help the Content Subcommittee, the Provincial Party Committee Standing Committee, and the Provincial Party Executive Committee complete the Political Report of the 18th Provincial Party Executive Committee to submit to the 19th Provincial Party Congress, term 2020 - 2025.

There were 14 comments at the conference, in which the delegates basically agreed with the draft documents of the Congress. However, to improve the quality of the Congress's political report, the dignitaries, scientists, and artists have raised their sense of responsibility in giving comments on a number of issues, such as: the structure of the draft; limitations, causes and lessons learned in the leadership and management of Party committees and authorities at all levels in the past term; forecasting the situation, determining goals, targets, tasks, solutions and breakthrough areas for the next term; the role of the human factor, especially the team of dignitaries, intellectuals, and scientists in the development of the whole province.

Delegate Nguyen Quang Hoa - Former Head of the Irrigation Sub-Department, Member of the Provincial Fatherland Front Committee, said that the assessment of the advantages of Nghe An province in the draft political report was still general, not clearly stating the internal strengths, potentials, and advantages of the province in terms of human factors as well as natural resources.

The evaluation of the results of the 5-year implementation of the Resolution of the 18th Provincial Party Congress, term 2015 - 2020, requires data comparing the results achieved with the targets set by the Resolution of the Provincial Party Congress. From this comparison, we can objectively and accurately assess the province's progress as well as the remaining limitations. At the same time, based on the input resources of the economy, we can determine appropriate targets for the new term.

In addition, many delegates said that the fields of agricultural development and implementation of the national target program on new rural construction were highlights of Nghe An in the past term, but the assessment of this content in the draft political report was not clear and did not highlight this result.

Propose solutions

Regarding the main tasks and solutions, the participating opinions suggested that it is necessary to pay attention to allocating resources to stimulate demand for the new rural construction program, model new rural areas; pay attention to attracting investment, developing service industries; research on economic infrastructure development, creating regional linkages...

In particular, many delegates expressed concerns about the targets of the draft political report when Nghe An always aims to strive to become a fairly developed province in the country, requiring the targets set for the 2020-2025 term to exceed the national average. However, some targets set in the draft such as growth rate and per capita income have not yet reached the national average, so it will be difficult to achieve the set target.

From there, it is recommended that solutions for the next term should closely follow reality to build programs, projects, and breakthroughs to maximize the potential and strengths of the province, inherit the achievements of the 18th term, and have more strategic and clearer steps in realizing the set goals.

The assessment of the causes of the shortcomings and limitations of the past term related to "weather and climate situation; epidemic situation..." is only the impact context, not the cause. Therefore, it is necessary to frankly assess the capacity of cadres, the implementation organization stage associated with the responsibility of the head.

Delegates also requested the Content Subcommittee to study and edit some unreasonable and inaccurate words in the draft political report related to the fields of agriculture, culture and arts, national defense - security, Party building work, etc.

Concluding the conference, Mr. Tran Quoc Khanh, Deputy Head of the Provincial Party Committee's Propaganda Department, highly appreciated the spirit and responsibility of the team of scientists, intellectuals, and artists who contributed to the draft political report of the 18th Provincial Party Committee to the 19th Provincial Party Congress. He will receive and synthesize all comments and suggestions at the conference to send to the editorial team of the documents of the 19th Provincial Party Congress, term 2020 - 2025.
