On the morning of September 23, the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee organized a conference to foster professional skills in mass mobilization work in 2019. Attending and giving a speech at the conference were comrade Nguyen Xuan Son - Standing Deputy Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee, Chairman of the Provincial People's Council; Dr. Nguyen Minh Tho - Chief of Office of the Central Mass Mobilization Committee participated in communicating the topics.

Changes in awareness of mass mobilization work

Speaking at the conference, comrade Nguyen Xuan Son - Standing Deputy Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee, Chairman of the Provincial People's Council assessed that in recent years, mass mobilization work has united and gathered the people, contributing to the successful implementation of the goals of the resolutions of the Party Congresses at all levels and the tasks set out in 2019.

The economic growth rate in the first 6 months of 2019 reached 7.09%, culture and society made much progress; national defense and security were ensured, the political system was consolidated, democracy was promoted, creating consensus among the people and society.

The activities of the People's Mobilization Committee, the Fatherland Front and mass organizations have made much progress. The Steering Committee for People's Mobilization of the government, the Steering Committee for the implementation of the Grassroots Democracy Regulations, and the Steering Committee for the emulation movement "Skilled People's Mobilization" from the province to the grassroots have been consolidated and improved; provincial departments, branches and sectors have basically assigned a leader and a group of 1-2 specialists to be in charge of people's mobilization work. The awareness of people's mobilization work of party committees at all levels, the government, departments, branches and cadres and civil servants has changed positively.

In addition, the Standing Deputy Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee pointed out the limitations of mass mobilization work. That is, the awareness of some cadres, party members, and civil servants about mass mobilization work is still limited; there is still a situation of cadres harassing, causing difficulties for people and businesses. The content and methods of mass mobilization work in operating units are not regular, unclear, and lack skills...

Therefore, he emphasized: "Improving skills and expertise in mass mobilization work is a decisive task for mass mobilization cadres at all levels; because each sector has its own methods, ways of working, and its own science. Cadres must understand what they do in order to mobilize the people, mobilize cadres, civil servants, public employees, union members, and association members."

A smile is also a mass movement

After the opening ceremony, Dr. Nguyen Minh Tho - Chief of the Office of the Central Committee for Mass Mobilization directly communicated to cadres and civil servants working in mass mobilization at all levels, sectors and bases attending the conference. The topic is entitled: "Mass mobilization work of the government and state agencies in the current period".

Accordingly, mass mobilization work is all activities of state agencies in performing state management functions and tasks, while serving the people, mobilizing people to implement policies and laws, and building and defending the Fatherland.

“A smile from a cadre or civil servant when communicating with the people is a form of mass mobilization. Practicing the "4 requests: hello, sorry, thank you, permission" is a form of mass mobilization. Always being gentle, always listening, always helping the people is also a form of mass mobilization by state agencies. Mass mobilization is not something that cadres or civil servants do when something happens and then come down to mobilize the people,” Comrade Nguyen Minh Tho analyzed.

The representative of the Central Committee for Mass Mobilization also emphasized that the mass mobilization work of State agencies must ultimately make the socio-economy develop, the material and spiritual life of the people improve day by day, all aspects of society become better day by day, only then can we mobilize and persuade all classes of people to promote all resources to develop the economy, together with the government to effectively solve practical problems.

The year 2019 continues to be identified by the Government Party Committee and the Central Committee for Mass Mobilization as the year of Mass Mobilization of the government.

The 2019 conference on training in mass mobilization will take place over two days. In addition to the topic on the government's mass mobilization work, delegates attending the conference will listen to two more topics: "Promoting the emulation movement "Skilled mass mobilization" in the new situation" and "Religious work in the current situation" presented by experienced lecturers.
