Strategic level cadres need to meet standards of ethics and talent.

Chairing a recent meeting of the Steering Committee for the development of the Strategic Personnel Plan for the 2021-2026 term, General Secretary and President Nguyen Phu Trong stated that personnel planning, especially strategic personnel planning, is a very important task and this is a step in preparing personnel for the next Party Congress.

In the hallway of the National Assembly, delegates said that strategic-level officials need to meet the standards of Virtue and Talent to lead the cause of innovation, for the goal of a rich people, strong country, democracy and civilization.

According to delegate Le Thanh Van, Ca Mau delegation, since the Party rectification campaign has been vigorously implemented, the Party's standards for leading cadres have become increasingly strict. With 27 signs of degradation and "self-evolution", cadres at all levels are required not to violate or cross the "line" set by the Party regarding the qualities and moral character of cadres and Party members. Many documents issued recently have aimed to perfect the standards for cadres at all levels, especially at the strategic level; the higher the level, the higher the standard of perfection.

“In the past, we focused on management methods and management activities, but today, it not only requires that content but also requires improving management capacity to adapt to changes. The new generation of cadres must meet the requirements, not only identifying the laws of development of nature and society, but also adapting to changes in nature and society that occur daily, monthly, and annually to update. The path does not change, but the solutions to achieve that goal can change to adapt,” Mr. Le Thanh Van emphasized.

At a meeting with the Steering Committee for the development of the Strategic Personnel Plan for the 2021-2026 term, General Secretary and President Nguyen Phu Trong affirmed that he would definitely not include in the Plan those who show signs of political and ideological degradation, disunity, internal turmoil, negative corruption, and political opportunism.

According to delegate Duong Trung Quoc, Dong Nai delegation, government committees at all levels must promptly identify, detect, assess, and screen closely from the beginning to prevent opportunists from entering leadership positions at all levels.

“Political opportunists are those who take advantage of conditions not for the common good. I completely share that view with the General Secretary and President. That is even more important when we choose generations of cadres who will play key roles in the next step, which will decide the future of the country. I think choosing people like that is very necessary,” affirmed delegate Duong Trung Quoc.
