Proactive, creative, improving consulting and service efficiency

On the occasion of the 93rd anniversary of the Party Committee Office's tradition day (October 18, 1930 - October 18, 2023), Nghe An Newspaper had an interview with comrade Nguyen Dinh Hung - Member of the Provincial Party Committee Executive Committee, Chief of the Provincial Party Committee Office on issues related to innovation, creativity, improving the quality and effectiveness of consulting and serving the work of the Party Committee Office.

PV:Dear comrade! In each period and stage, the work of the Party Committee Office has an important role and contribution. With the requirement of innovation and enhancing the comprehensive leadership role of the Party, have the Party Committee Offices at all levels in the province had outstanding activities to improve the effectiveness of advisory and service work?

Comrade Nguyen Dinh Hung:Faced with the requirement of comprehensive and profound innovation, improving the leadership and governing capacity of the Party in accordance with the spirit of the Resolution of the 13th National Party Congress and the Resolution of the 19th Provincial Party Congress, term 2020 - 2025; especially, under the direct and regular guidance of the Standing Committee, the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee, in the first half of the congress term, the Offices of Party Committees at all levels in the province continued to make efforts, innovate and be creative to ensure the completion of a large and demanding workload.

Thoroughly grasping the spirit of urgency and determination of the Standing Committee, the Standing Committee, and the Provincial Party Committee Executive Committee, immediately after the 19th Provincial Party Congress, the Provincial Party Committee Office advised on the timely and quality issuance of an action program to implement the Resolution of the Provincial Party Congress and the Resolution of the 13th National Party Congress.

On that basis, continue to advise and propose the full-term, quarterly, annual, monthly work programs... of the Party Committee, Standing Committee, and Standing Committee of the Party Committee. During the implementation process, the Provincial Party Committee Office has proactively, flexibly, and promptly proposed adjustments and additions to the work program on urgent issues, new issues arising in practice, or implementing new policies and directions of the Central Committee. The Office directly monitors and urges Party organizations and subordinate Party Committees to implement the information and reporting regime; presides over and coordinates with advisory agencies and relevant Party Committees to appraise and review many documents before submitting them to the Standing Committee, Standing Committee, especially regarding the requirements, scope, process, authority to issue and format of documents.

In particular, the Provincial Party Committee Office coordinated with relevant units to advise on organizing a preliminary review of 2.5 years of implementing the Resolution of the 19th Provincial Party Congress; summarizing 10 years of implementing Resolution No. 26, dated July 30, 2013 of the Politburo on the direction and tasks for developing Nghe An province to 2020; advising the Politburo to issue Resolution No. 39-NQ/TW, dated July 18, 2023 on developing Nghe An province to 2030, with a vision to 2045.

The Provincial Party Committee Office also actively advised the Party Committee, Standing Committee, and Standing Committee of the Party Committee on leadership, direction, urging, inspection, and supervision of the implementation of programs, projects, resolutions, directives, plans, etc. to implement the Resolution of the 19th Provincial Party Congress, term 2020 - 2025. The preparation work for conferences, working sessions, and inspection and direction activities of the Standing Committee, Standing Committee, and Executive Committee for sectors, levels, localities, agencies, and units was carried out carefully and scientifically.

The Party budget management and use work is advised by the Provincial Party Committee Office to the Party Committee to be implemented closely, meeting the regular and extraordinary spending needs of the Party Committee, Party agencies and affiliated units. The Party Committee Office also proactively monitors, synthesizes, grasps the situation, promptly provides information, serving the leadership and direction of the Party Committee. At the same time, strengthens effective coordination with the Party building committees of the Provincial Party Committee, the Office of the National Assembly Delegation and the Provincial People's Council, the Office of the Provincial People's Committee, making an important contribution to the leadership, direction, inspection and supervision work within the Party.

PV:According to you, what are the current difficulties facing the work of the Party Committee Office?

Comrade Nguyen Dinh Hung:The work of the Party Committee Office requires comprehensive innovation, while the workload is large and contains many important contents, requiring high quality and urgent time. Through evaluation, it is shown that the process of implementing the tasks of the Party Committee Office still has some shortcomings and limitations.

Specifically, the work of advising, appraising, examining, editing, and revising a number of specialized programs, projects, and documents is still limited. The work of monitoring and urging the implementation of a number of resolutions, directives, announcements, and conclusions of the Party Committee is not regular. The work of grasping and synthesizing information to serve the leadership is sometimes not complete and timely; the application of information technology in advising and serving is still slow and not synchronous. Reception and foreign affairs work has not kept up with the requirements of the task. The quality of the staff is uneven, especially research and synthesis staff...

PV:So, how should the Party Committee Office innovate, be proactive and creative to meet the leadership requirements of the Party Committee?

Comrade Nguyen Dinh Hung:The first thing that needs to be affirmed is that the office work of the Party Committee plays a very important role in advising and assisting the Party Committee in organizing and operating leadership and direction work. At the same time, it coordinates the activities of the advisory and assisting agencies of the Party Committee, serving the leadership and direction of the Party Committee.

Promoting the 93-year glorious tradition of the Party Committee Office and facing increasingly high demands, the Provincial Party Committee Office in particular and the system of Party Committee Offices in the province in general continue to set out their determination to strive, overcome difficulties and limitations; proactively and comprehensively innovate all aspects of work, especially innovating thinking, content, methods and working style to successfully complete tasks.

The Provincial Party Committee Office and the system of offices of district, city, town and affiliated Party Committees closely follow their functions and tasks to be proactive, creative and improve the quality of advisory work on the basis of closely following the directions of the Central Government, the province as well as local Party Committees to concretize, ensure conformity with reality and create highlights; documents must be concise, clear, easy to remember and easy to count. Closely follow reality, promptly detect and recommend to the Party Committee to add to the work program to properly handle newly arising issues.

At the same time, proactively coordinate with relevant agencies and organizations in implementing the preliminary and final summaries of the resolutions, directives, and projects of the Central Committee and the Provincial Party Committee and the grassroots Party Committees on Party building work and other tasks within the scope and authority. Continue to innovate and improve the quality of implementation of tasks assigned by the Standing Committee and the Standing Committee of the Party Committee; play a good role as a focal point to help the Standing Committee of the Party Committee handle daily work; organize and serve conferences and meetings of the Executive Committee, the Standing Committee, and the Standing Committee of the Party Committee; organize training courses; coordinate to serve conferences and meetings of advisory agencies; monitor and urge grassroots Party Committees and advisory agencies of the Party Committee to implement the information and reporting regime periodically and suddenly; assist the Party Committee in performing the work of receiving people, internal and external affairs, emulation and commendation of the agency; receive petitions and letters from cadres, Party members and people sent to the Party Committee according to its functions and authority; Receive, issue and manage incoming and outgoing documents and papers; manage archived documents; manage printing, copying and issuing all types of documents according to regulations...

Pay attention to improving the quality of the staff and civil servants; combine training with fostering; promote the spirit of self-study, improve the qualifications of the staff working in the Office, especially supplementing specialized knowledge in the fields of State management such as: Land management, investment, construction, planning... to have the capacity to appraise and advise effectively for the Standing Committee, Standing Committee, Executive Committee... Improve the capacity to apply information technology, advise on digital transformation in the activities of the Party Committee Office, the capacity to manage, coordinate, and operate scientific and effective work.

Promote administrative reform in the Party, apply information technology in work management, reduce paperwork; gradually professionalize and modernize service work, making all activities of the Party Committee Office increasingly regular and orderly. Continue to closely coordinate with the Office of the People's Council and the National Assembly Delegation of the province, the Office of the People's Committee, the Fatherland Front and other organizations, departments, branches, sectors at the provincial level, districts, cities and towns in advising on the work program of the Secretary, Deputy Secretaries and some activities of the Standing Committee members in accordance with the working regulations, ensuring the completion of the work program of the Party Committee.

President Ho Chi Minh once said: “Office work is of special importance, helping leaders grasp the situation. If office staff grasp the situation incorrectly, leaders will handle work incorrectly..., so we must always uphold the spirit of responsibility, work capacity and keep secrets, to strive to perform well the assigned tasks”. His teachings still hold true, the Party Committee Office must promote that factor of “special importance”!

PV:Thank you comrade!
