Implementing the policy of the Provincial Party Committee Standing Committee, the Provincial Border Guard regularly deploys 27 Party members who are Border Guard officers to reinforce 27 land border communes, holding the position of Deputy Secretary, some comrades holding the position of Party Secretary of border communes from 2002 to present; at the same time, directing Border Guard Stations to coordinate with communes and wards to introduce and regularly maintain 80 Party members temporarily participating in activities at hamlet Party cells in key and complicated areas from 2005 to present.

However, besides the achieved results, the grassroots political system in the border areas of the province, especially in the blocks, hamlets, villages and hamlets, still has many shortcomings such as: Management, education, training and development of party members at the grassroots level, especially in special areas, still faces many difficulties; the qualifications and capacity of some cadres, especially at the hamlet level, do not meet the requirements of the task. In some places, the work of creating sources, training and fostering on-site cadres has not met practical requirements;...

From the results achieved and the limitations, at the meeting, the discussion opinions all agreed that the issuance of the Project "Border Guards participate in building and consolidating the grassroots political system of communes, blocks, hamlets, villages and hamlets in the border area of ​​Nghe An province for the period 2022 - 2026" is very necessary, in order to promote the role of the Provincial Border Guard force in contributing to consolidating a strong grassroots political system in the border area.

However, there were discussions about whether this Project was issued by the Provincial Party Committee Standing Committee or by the Provincial Border Guard Command Party Committee. Comrade Nguyen Van Thong - Standing Deputy Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee assessed that in the draft Project, the Border Guard gave very detailed and specific advice, in which the subject performing the tasks was the Border Guard force. With such an approach, the Project should be issued by the Provincial Border Guard Command Party Committee, and approved by the Provincial Party Committee Standing Committee.

However, according to the Deputy Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee, it is also necessary to mention the issue raised by the Provincial Border Guard Command Party Committee that if the Project is issued by the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee, the effectiveness will be greater, and tasks will be assigned to other sectors and levels along with the Border Guard force to carry out the tasks.
