A very important content of the work of building a clean and strong Party and political system in all aspects is expected to be issued by the 6th Central Conference, 13th tenure, which is a new Resolution to continue to lead, direct innovation, and perfect the Party's leadership methods, effectively promote the Party's leadership in the work of building and rectifying a truly clean and strong Party and political system, meeting the requirements and tasks in the new development stage. This content is of interest to and has high expectations from many cadres, party members, and people.

General Secretary Nguyen Phu Trong.

Recognizing the limitations in the Party's leadership method, at the opening session of the 6th Central Conference of the 13th tenure, General Secretary Nguyen Phu Trong pointed out: The quality of some documents is still not close to reality; the organization of the implementation of resolutions is not strict. Decentralization, delegation of authority, coordination between levels and sectors; clearly defining functions, tasks, and powers is still slow and confusing, especially in handling the unclear situation of powers and responsibilities between Party and State agencies.

Notably, some Party committees and organizations have not strictly implemented the Party's principles in leadership, especially the principles of democratic centralism, self-criticism and criticism; there are still situations of making excuses, imposing, doing things for others or avoiding, fearing responsibility, and loosening the Party's leadership role...

From this reality, Associate Professor Dr. Nguyen Viet Thao, former Deputy Director of the Ho Chi Minh National Academy of Politics, said that it is necessary to focus on synchronously innovating the Party's leadership methods, especially innovating the methods of formulating policies, issuing Resolutions, organizing the implementation of Resolutions and the Party's leadership methods through organizations and cadres.

“There must be solutions to ensure prevention of “encroachment and replacement” of the government system. The Central Committee has repeatedly emphasized that a number of Party members and officials have degraded in ideology, politics, ethics, lifestyle, and working style... This is not only a risk but also a challenge that cannot be ignored. Therefore, the work of cadres in the political system needs to be implemented more effectively by leaders,” said Associate Professor, Dr. Nguyen Viet Thao.

An important requirement for the innovation and improvement of the Party's leadership method is to closely link the work of organization and cadres with the innovation of the Party's leadership method. Continuing to innovate the work of cadres, especially the stages of evaluation, training, fostering, rotation... requires new thinking, fundamental, comprehensive, and substantial adjustments to meet new requirements.

Mr. Nguyen Duc Ha - former Head of the Party Grassroots Department, Central Organization Committee emphasized that cadres must not only have prestige within the Party but also have prestige among the people. Therefore, the current requirement for cadres is to be proactive, creative, not passive, waiting. Based on their functions and tasks, they must know what to do, how to do it, starting from the purpose, from the people's wishes.

"The General Secretary has reminded us many times that we must be for the country, for the people, for the common good. If we are for the common good, for the interests of the Party, of the nation, for the interests of the people, then no matter how difficult it is, we can overcome it," said Mr. Nguyen Duc Ha.

It can be seen that the leadership method must be closely linked to the leadership role of the Party, only with effective leadership methods can the Party lead. The innovation of the Party's leadership method must also be closely linked to the three pillars: the direction of developing a socialist-oriented market economy, building a socialist rule-of-law state and building socialist democracy. In particular, the Party's leadership method must be consistent with the functions of each branch of power including the executive, legislative and judicial branches.

Professor, Dr. Le Minh Thong, member of the Central Theoretical Council, emphasized that the core issue is that the Party must raise its leadership and governance while continuing to build and perfect the socialist rule-of-law state of Vietnam.

“In a rule-of-law state, the Party must implement five principles: The first principle is to govern for the people. Second, to govern according to the Party's laws. A rule-of-law state means that the Party must definitely govern according to the law. Third, the Party governs democratically. Fourth, the Party governs scientifically. Fifth, the Party governs with integrity," said Mr. Le Minh Thong.

Continuing to strongly innovate the Party's leadership method in new conditions is a very important content in the 10 Party building tasks set forth in the 13th National Congress Document, in order to meet the requirement of continuing to comprehensively and synchronously promote the innovation process, ensuring synchronous political innovation, consistent with economic innovation, consistent with the process of building and perfecting the socialist rule-of-law State.

Cadres, Party members and people expect important new steps from the 6th Central Conference of the 13th tenure with the issuance of a new Resolution, with new, breakthrough and highly feasible solutions to perfect the Party's leadership method and build a truly clean and strong Party./.
