However, entering a new phase, our country continues to face many difficulties and challenges. The risks that the Party has pointed out are still present, and in some cases, even more severe. The degradation of a number of cadres and party members is increasingly sophisticated and complicated, posing a great danger to the survival of the Party. A significant number of cadres and party members show signs of fading revolutionary ideals, are not steadfast in the socialist path, are vague, wavering, and lack confidence; speak and act contrary to the Party's viewpoints and policies; have lost their fighting spirit, do not defend what is right, do not fight what is wrong, and no longer have the spirit to serve the country and the people. They do not strictly implement the principles of Party building.

Therefore, at the 4th Conference, the Party Central Committee (13th tenure) continued to attach importance to and bring the work of Party building and rectification to a new level, closely linked with the building of a clean and strong political system. At the same time, Conclusion No. 21-KL/TW, dated October 25, 2021 of the Party Central Committee (13th tenure) on promoting Party building and rectification and the political system; resolutely preventing, repelling, and strictly handling cadres and Party members who have degraded in political ideology, ethics, lifestyle, and manifestations of "self-evolution" and "self-transformation" has promptly added new perceptions and new methods; is the inheritance and development of the Central Resolutions of previous terms.

Referring to the new points on Party building and rectification work in Conclusion No. 21-KL/TW, Comrade Phung Huu Phu stated that, first of all, we must mention the new point on expanding the scope. Conclusion 21 not only mentions Party building and rectification but also includes building the political system. The second new point is the addition and clarification of the system of manifestations of political ideology and moral lifestyle degradation of a number of Party members and cadres.

The third new point is about tasks and solutions. In particular, it emphasizes focusing on building a team of cadres at all levels, especially at the strategic level and leaders; innovating the cadre assessment mechanism, linking individual assessment with collective assessment, and the performance of tasks of localities, agencies and units. Promptly dismissing and replacing cadres with limited capacity; resolutely fighting against corruption and negativity; strictly handling violating cadres.

The conference also listened to a special topic on new points and core points in Regulation No. 37-QD-TW, dated October 25, 2021 of the Party Central Committee (13th tenure) on 19 things that party members are not allowed to do.

In his concluding remarks at the conference, Comrade Lai Xuan Mon - Member of the Party Central Committee, Deputy Head of the Central Propaganda Department emphasized that studying, thoroughly understanding and implementing the Resolution of the 13th Central Committee, Session 4, is a responsibility and at the same time an honor for every cadre and Party member in general and for press and publishing agencies, intellectuals and artists in particular, in order to successfully achieve the goals of building the Party and the political system to be increasingly clean and strong.

In order to study, learn, thoroughly grasp and implement the Resolution of the 4th Central Committee of the 13th Party Congress to achieve the set goals and requirements, it is necessary to pay attention to the following key issues: Firstly, in the process of implementing the tasks in the coming time, the contingent of cadres and Party members need to fully and deeply understand the purpose, meaning, requirements, and content of the Conclusion and Regulations at the 4th Central Conference of the 13th Party Congress to clearly identify the work and tasks that need to be done in the coming time. On that basis, create unity and determination to set an example and voluntarily implement the Regulations in their working positions.

Second, after the conference, it is necessary to focus on leadership and direction with a proactive and creative spirit, creating an action program associated with the implementation of Resolution 4 of the 13th Central Committee, suitable to the specific conditions of each agency and unit, with a clear and strict division of responsibilities, avoiding superficiality and formality.
