Discussing at the meeting, delegates highly appreciated the innovations in political and ideological work, especially the study, dissemination and implementation of Party Resolutions at all levels, which are all linked to the development, discussion and implementation of action programs to implement the resolutions at each level; at the same time, increasing online conferences, contributing to expanding the audience and quickly accessing the spirit of the resolution, especially hearing the direct instructions of the leader is very important.

Political theory training for subjects is carried out regularly based on general requirements and practical needs of each facility, while focusing more on quality.

The work of providing information, grasping and orienting public opinion has been promoted and timely by Party committees and the Propaganda system at all levels; especially in the face of new developments and public opinion, as well as providing information and refuting false, hostile arguments, bad information, and "peaceful evolution" plots...

In parallel with the above tasks, the implementation of Directive 05 of the Politburo is promoted in conjunction with the implementation of Resolution 4 of the Party Central Committee (term XI, term XII) by selecting key steps, breakthrough steps, urgent and prominent issues at each level, each locality, agency and unit to resolve; thereby contributing to strengthening the ideology and trust of cadres, party members and people.

In addition to positive issues, from practical activities, delegates of many districts, cities, town Party Committees and affiliated Party Committees also frankly pointed out many shortcomings, limitations and weaknesses in political and ideological work. Comrade Nguyen Minh Hanh - Head of the Propaganda Department of Do Luong District Party Committee, said that at the grassroots level, the propaganda and dissemination of Party resolutions at all levels within the Party system have been effective; however, among the masses, it is still a difficult problem.

Head of the Propaganda Department of Quynh Luu District Party Committee Nguyen Van Thuong stated that the Party's ideological work is still passive, lower levels wait for higher levels, and higher levels have not been able to promptly orient public opinion in the face of complex issues that arise.

According to Phan Dinh Ha, Head of the Propaganda Department of Thanh Chuong District Party Committee, the orientation of public opinion and propaganda at the central and provincial levels for the district and grassroots levels is not up to the task; there is a situation where the lower level is "hot", the upper level is "cold", the grassroots level is "boiling", the upper level is quiet, and there is no timely orientation.

Many delegates also affirmed that political and ideological work in the current period is extremely difficult and complicated; therefore, it is necessary to clearly recognize that this is a common task of the entire political system and the exemplary role of leaders of Party committees at all levels, sectors, agencies and units.

At the same time, it is necessary to pay attention to building a team of cadres who do exemplary ideological work, are truly concerned, innovative, creative, and meet the requirements of tasks in the new situation.

Along with that, it is necessary to promote the role of the press in ideological work, orienting public opinion; at the same time, build a network to fight and refute false arguments on cyberspace more effectively...

Speaking at the meeting, comrade Nguyen Xuan Son - Standing Deputy Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee, Chairman of the Provincial People's Council requested that Party committees at all levels need to fully and deeply understand the extremely important role of political and ideological work in promoting the implementation of political tasks at each level, each sector and locality; especially promoting the completion of the goals, targets and tasks of the Resolution of the 18th Provincial Party Congress and Resolution 26 of the Politburo on Nghe An in the remaining years.

Affirming the difficulties and challenges facing political and ideological work in the current period, the Standing Deputy Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee emphasized that Party committees at all levels and the Propaganda Department need to improve the work of studying, thoroughly understanding and implementing the Resolutions of the Party at all levels; the implementation of the resolution will be brought into life and truly effective when fully grasping and imbuing the content and spirit of the resolution.

Comrade Nguyen Xuan Son also pointed out the practical process of leadership and direction, if the guidelines and tasks are not clear, and the guidelines and tasks are not developed scientifically, it will be difficult to create positive development. On the contrary, if the ideology is not clear, lacks confidence, determination, innovation, and offensiveness, it will not be possible.

And political and ideological work needs to be comprehensively impacted, in personnel work, in each petition, each project, each job; therefore, this work requires intelligence, sensitivity, creativity and continued innovation.

Standing Deputy Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee Nguyen Xuan Son requested the Provincial Party Committee's Propaganda Department, based on the opinions discussed at the meeting, to have a comprehensive and in-depth assessment, draw lessons from experience; combine research, consider removing difficulties and obstacles from practice to achieve higher efficiency in political and ideological work in the coming time.
