Questioning the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee, Comrade Hoang Minh Tuan - Head of the Import and Export Management Department, Department of Industry and Trade, asked: Some opinions say that, currently, the State administrative reform work has gradually changed positively, but administrative reform in the Party has not really received due attention, especially the application of information technology, digital transformation, and reduction of unnecessary procedures. Could the Standing Committee please tell us the solution to effectively deploy and implement the Party's administrative reform work?

Regarding this content, comrade Hoang Nghia Hieu - Deputy Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee affirmed: Administrative reform in the Party is of interest to the Party and the State (stated in Conclusion 82-KL/TW, dated August 16, 2010 of the Politburo on administrative reform innovation in the Party.

In fact, in recent times, the activities of Party agencies have undergone many innovations such as: systematically implementing the entire-term work program and regular work program, thematic work program; strongly innovating the organization of studying, grasping, and implementing resolutions; improving the way of organizing conferences, most important conferences are organized online.

Besides, according to comrade Hoang Nghia Hieu, there are still some problems: The number of documents and papers is large, some documents are not of high quality; the application of information technology and digital transformation in Party agencies is still limited and needs more attention.

According to the Deputy Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee, this situation stems from two reasons.

Local Party committees are specified but must not reduce or violate the documents of the Central Committee.

Second, due to subjective reasons, the advisory bodies of the Party Committee have not paid due attention to actively and proactively proposing innovations in leadership methods and working methods and procedures in Party agencies. The application of information technology in document processing by Party agencies has not been consistent.

Orienting tasks in the coming time, the Deputy Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee suggested: Advisory and support agencies of the Party Committee need to clearly identify administrative reform in Party agencies as an important task.

In particular, it is necessary to promote responsibility, especially for leaders in applying information technology and digital transformation; pay attention to investing in digital technology infrastructure; promote the application of information technology in administrative reform to optimize work and information processing procedures.
