Towards the 1st Provincial Party Congress, term 2025 - 2030:Heartfelt opinions sent to the Congress

* Comrade Nguyen Quoc Dat - Member of the Party Executive Committee, Deputy Head of the Propaganda and Mass Mobilization Department of the Provincial Party Committee:

Building a team of "good consultants, good service" staff

The 1st Provincial Party Congress, term 2025 - 2030, is of special significance. This is not only the beginning of a new model but also a milestone affirming the pivotal role of the Party organization in the provincial political system. This is where the intelligence and bravery of the staff and Party members working in key agencies of the Provincial People's Committee gather - both advising and directly leading and directing the implementation of major policies on economic, cultural and social development.

The Congress took place at a time when the two-level local government was put into operation, the country entered a new development stage, Nghe An was expected by the Central Government to become a fairly developed province, a growth pole of the region and the whole country. That requires the entire political system of the province, first of all the cadres and party members of the Provincial People's Committee to demonstrate a pioneering spirit, solidarity and unity, dare to think, dare to do, and organize the implementation of breakthrough policies.

To do so, the human factor must be put first. The quality of the staff is the core that determines success. Each staff and party member in the Provincial People's Committee Party Committee must constantly train and develop to be politically steadfast, professionally competent, and highly responsible in their work. This team must truly "advise well, serve well"; advise accurately, correctly, promptly, have a strategic vision; serve wholeheartedly, professionally, effectively, and bring satisfaction to the people and businesses.

Another important requirement is to build a team of honest, impartial and impartial cadres and party members. In particular, leaders and key cadres must set a shining example of ethics, responsibility, dynamism, creativity, and daring to act for the common good. Such exemplary behavior is not only a driving force but also spreads, creating collective strength and strengthening people's trust.

I believe that, with high political determination and the spirit of setting good examples of the cadres and party members, the work of Party building on ethics in the Provincial Party Committee will be increasingly strengthened, contributing to the successful implementation of the goal of making Nghe An develop rapidly and sustainably, worthy of being the center of the North Central region in the new period.

* Dr. Thai Minh Tuan - Deputy Chief of Office of Nghe An Provincial People's Committee:

Need to pay attention to the mechanism of power control

Studying the draft Political Report of the 1st Provincial Party Congress, term 2025 - 2030, I realized that many major issues have been raised at the right level of a grassroots Party Committee, where the affiliated Party organizations are the leading agencies advising and assisting the Provincial People's Committee. In particular, the content of building and rectifying the Party and the political system associated with the requirement of strengthening inspection, supervision, and preventing corruption, waste, and negativity is extremely necessary and urgent.

In practice, after nearly 2 months of operating the 2-level local government, in addition to many initial results, there are also many challenges. Especially in the management of resources, land, and public assets - areas that are inherently prone to corruption risks. When delegating power to the People's Committee at the commune level in procedures such as land allocation and issuance of land use right certificates in conditions of lacking experienced staff and lacking control from specialized departments as before, it is easy to lead to violations that are discovered too late.

In addition, the current communal government apparatus lacks human resources in the fields of land, construction, planning, etc., and does not have a specialized inspection force. Under great pressure from administrative procedures, there will be a lack of inspection and supervision, which can easily be exploited to cause land encroachment and illegal exploitation of resources.

To better control power and prevent negativity, the Congress needs to discuss and propose more drastic and synchronous solutions. In my opinion, the work of preventing and combating corruption must be identified as a regular task, closely linked to administrative reform, tightening public discipline and building a team of "truly honest, impartial and impartial" cadres. In addition to promoting traditional solutions such as inspection, supervision and strict handling of violations, it is necessary to add new approaches: assessing the capacity of commune-level cadres in sensitive areas; rotating and arranging cadres based on workload and assessing corruption risks; establishing specialized working groups to "hold hands and guide" at the grassroots level.

In particular, it is necessary to attach importance to the mechanism of controlling power, protecting whistleblowers, and promoting the supervisory role of the people, the Fatherland Front and the press. When the political system is synchronously involved, the responsibility of leaders is promoted, and cadres are trained in a transparent and strictly disciplined environment, then the work of preventing corruption and negativity will be truly effective, contributing to the rapid and sustainable development of Nghe An, worthy of being the center of the North Central region.

* Dr. Vo Hai Quang - Head of Technology Management Department, Nghe An Department of Science and Technology:

Affirming the pivotal role of science, technology, innovation and digital transformation

Breakthroughs in science, technology, innovation and digital transformation are among the four important “pillars” identified by the Politburo to develop the country rapidly and sustainably. For Nghe An, this is not only an inevitable trend but also the shortest path to achieving the goal of becoming a fairly developed province in the country by 2030, a national growth pole. Therefore, the 1st Provincial Party Congress, term 2025-2030, needs to consider this as the key content for discussion, consensus and political commitment.

It is necessary to clearly perceive that science, technology, innovation and digital transformation are not only supporting tools, but also direct driving forces to create new productivity, quality, efficiency and competitiveness. This is the key for Nghe An to shift from a growth model based on resources and cheap labor to one based on knowledge, high technology and the digital economy.

The Congress needs to specify the following targets: increasing the proportion of digital economy in GRDP by 2030; 100% of public services online throughout the process; supporting at least 20 innovative startups each year, commercializing at least 30 new technology products... Along with that, to develop the economy and society based on science, technology, and innovation, it is necessary to set a goal of improving the provincial innovation index (PII), striving to be in the top 34 provinces and cities by 2030.

To realize this, Nghe An needs to develop specific mechanisms and policies to support science, technology, innovation and digital transformation in Nghe An province in the 2026-2030 period; develop digital infrastructure, creative startup ecosystem, smart operating center, regional science, technology and innovation zones and centers; and at the same time, invest systematically in digital human resources. An important solution is to promote the connection of "three houses": State - scientists - businesses, to commercialize research results and form a dynamic science and technology market.

The Congress also needs to establish a mechanism to monitor and evaluate the implementation of this goal as an important criterion in assessing the leadership and management capacity of all levels and sectors; clearly affirming that science, technology, innovation and digital transformation are strategic pillars and important endogenous driving forces for Nghe An to make a breakthrough, shorten the development gap and realize the aspiration of prosperity by 2030.

* Comrade Cao Thi Van Anh - Deputy Head of the Party Committee's Inspection Committee, Deputy Head of Land Management Department, Nghe An Department of Agriculture and Environment:

Care about the stitching sudden break Institution building, creating development momentum

One of the three breakthroughs identified by the Provincial Party Committee and People's Committee for the 2025-2030 term is: building and perfecting local mechanisms and policies; promoting administrative reform; improving the effectiveness and efficiency of government leadership, management and operation; and thoroughly overcoming the situation of shirking and avoiding responsibility. This is the right direction, in line with the development requirements of the province in the new period.

On April 30, 2025, the Central Executive Committee issued Resolution No. 66-NQ/TW on innovation in law-making and enforcement. The Resolution is considered a “breakthrough of breakthroughs”, emphasizing the task of creating transparent, favorable, and sustainable development institutions. For Nghe An, the concretization of Resolution 66 in conjunction with strong decentralization to local authorities and the operation of two-level government is of particular importance.

Practice shows that the work of building and enforcing laws at the local level still has many shortcomings; many regulations have not kept up with development requirements, causing congestion, prolonging procedures, affecting the rights of people and business operations. Therefore, the Provincial Party Congress needs to emphasize a number of key tasks and solutions: building legal documents based on summarizing practices, removing obstacles; innovating legislative thinking in the direction of both tightening discipline and encouraging creativity, having a mechanism to protect cadres who dare to think and dare to do; clearly defining responsibilities after decentralization, reducing the process of asking for opinions at many levels, especially in the fields of land, compensation, and support; attaching importance to the work of explaining and guiding, improving the feasibility of documents; at the same time ensuring financial resources for the work of building and enforcing laws.

With a strong spirit of innovation and high political determination, the Provincial Party Congress will concretize Resolution 66-NQ/TW into practical actions, contributing to the smooth operation of the two-level government, unlocking resources, creating a foundation for Nghe An to develop rapidly, sustainably, worthy of being the center of the North Central region.

* Comrade Pham Quoc Nam - Party Secretary, Head of Civil Judgment Enforcement of Nghe An province:

Take care of government mass mobilization work, ensure policies are effectively implemented in life

In the organizational structure of the Party Committee of Nghe An Provincial People's Committee - where the departments, branches, and leading agencies of the province converge, each policy that is consulted and issued is directly related to people's lives. Therefore, strengthening mass mobilization work in affiliated Party organizations not only promotes the mastery of cadres, party members, and civil servants but also contributes to improving the effectiveness of state management, socio-economic management, and successfully implementing programs, projects, and development plans of the province.

In practice, the government's civil mobilisation work has brought about many positive results. For many years, the province's Civil Judgment Enforcement Department has had up to 99% of cases resolved by "skillful civil mobilisation", without coercion, thereby protecting the legitimate rights of organisations and individuals, while maintaining political security, social order and safety, and creating a stable environment for economic development.

Realizing the role and importance of the government's mass mobilization work in the current period, I would like to send some thoughts to the 1st Congress of the Provincial Party Committee, term 2025-2030. That is, the government's mass mobilization work needs to be considered an important breakthrough. First of all, it is necessary to continue to propagate and raise awareness among cadres and party members that: doing mass mobilization well means doing one's political task well; every cadre and party member is a mass mobilization cadre. In addition, the Provincial Party Committee needs to lead and direct innovation in leadership methods, associated with promoting administrative reform, digital transformation, taking the satisfaction of people and businesses as a measure of operational efficiency.

With high political determination and a strong spirit of innovation, the 1st Congress of the Nghe An Provincial Party Committee will arouse new momentum, promote the power of consensus, so that the government can truly accompany the people on the path of sustainable development./.
