Must choose the right person, the right person

Speaking at the conference, Comrade Luong Cuong - Politburo member, Standing member of the Secretariat emphasized a number of contents for Party committees and organizations to seriously, effectively, synchronously and consistently implement Regulation No. 144 and Directive No. 35, creating a clear change in awareness and action throughout the Party and political system, increasing consensus in society and the people.

Regarding Regulation No. 144, the Standing Secretariat pointed out 5 basic issues; in which the most important and core issue is that all cadres and party members must thoroughly understand, deeply imbue and voluntarily implement ethical standards regularly like "daily food and drink".

From there, make revolutionary ethics a prominent feature of cadres and party members, a sharp weapon to overcome all challenges and temptations, repel all risks of ideological, political, moral, lifestyle degradation, "self-evolution", "self-transformation" within the Party; make revolutionary ethics the soul of Party culture; orient, promote, build, and consolidate the foundation of ethics, culture, and society, spread strongly among the people, making Vietnamese culture and people truly become an endogenous strength, a driving force to develop and protect the country.

At the same time, to effectively implement the requirements, policies, viewpoints and directions of the Politburo in Directive No. 35, ensuring the success of Party congresses at all levels, Comrade Luong Cuong emphasized that Party committees and organizations at all levels need to firmly grasp the 7 requirements and 6 contents in the Directive and thoroughly grasp the direction of General Secretary Nguyen Phu Trong that it is necessary to deeply understand the position and significance of this extremely important work, not simply for organizing a Party congress, but it is a work of strategic significance closely linked to the fate of the Party, the survival of the regime, and the development of the country.

On that basis, the Standing member of the Secretariat emphasized five key issues, in which Party committees and organizations at all levels need to base on the Politburo's Directive, the Central's instructions, and the characteristics of each locality, agency, unit, and organization to lead and direct the specific development of plans to prepare and organize congresses at their level; ensuring consistency and unity from the Central to the grassroots level.

Accordingly, Party committees and organizations at all levels need to lead the preparation of draft documents for the congress; discuss and contribute opinions to the draft documents of their own level and higher levels.

Personnel work must be carried out very closely, ensuring the direct and comprehensive leadership of the Party Committee, promoting the responsibility of the head according to regulations.

The implementation process must be done in accordance with principles and procedures, promote democracy, and maintain discipline in the selection, introduction, and election of Party committees at all levels.

"Personnel preparation at all levels must pay attention to standards, age, structure and quantity, in which quality must be especially valued, not lowering standards for the sake of structure," the Standing Secretariat of the Party Central Committee especially noted.

He also emphasized that the highest requirement for personnel selection is to select the right person based on standards and conditions; not to let unqualified officials enter the Party Committee, especially key positions and leaders at all levels.
