Participating in the discussion were representatives of the Provincial Party Organizing Committee, the Party Committee of the Provincial Agencies Bloc and 25 Party cell secretaries - where 28 Party members of the Party Cell of the Nghe An Provincial Fatherland Front Committee reside.

Regarding the responsibility of working Party members to regularly maintain contact with the Party organization and the People in their place of residence, the Politburo stipulates in Regulation No. 213, dated January 2, 2020 (replacing Regulation No. 76, dated June 15, 2000). Accordingly, working Party members have the responsibility to regularly maintain contact with the Party organization and the People in their place of residence; be close to and attached to the People; overcome manifestations of living far from the people, lack of responsibility in the work of the People in their place of residence; strengthen the close relationship between the Party and the People; promote the role and responsibility of Party members in Party building and building the grassroots political system.

This regulation also specifically stipulates 7 tasks of party members working at their place of residence, including important requirements on the pioneering and exemplary role of party members before the people at their place of residence.

This regulation also clearly stipulates 5 tasks of the grassroots Party Committee where the Party member is working and 6 tasks of the Party organization where the Party member is working and residing.

At the discussion, delegates all affirmed that after more than 2 years of implementing Regulation No. 213, basically, party members are performing well their responsibilities and tasks as party members in their residential areas; staying close to the people, actively participating in movements in their residential areas, contributing to building and enhancing the leadership and direction role of party cells in the blocks and hamlets.

The awareness of being a pioneer, being a role model, cultivating morality, lifestyle and propagating and mobilizing people to carry out local movements among party members working in their places of residence has also been raised.

Besides positive changes, some opinions also pointed out a common reality, there is still a situation where party members do not have a regular and close attachment to their place of residence; rarely participate in activities as well as movements, even when getting comments on the party cell committee of the place of residence for party members who are working, they also ask their parents to go to the party cell secretary to ask for confirmation.

Some party members only actively contribute money when their place of residence calls for it, considering it as having connections with the locality without a close connection, even living separately from the surrounding people on a daily basis...

This situation is caused by three factors: in addition to the limited awareness and sense of responsibility of party members in implementing the Party's regulations, the grassroots party committee where party members reside is "favoring" and being lenient with party members, and the party committee where party members are working has not closely coordinated with the party committee where party members reside in monitoring and managing party members in performing their responsibilities and tasks at their place of residence.

From the practical situation, many opinions raised at the discussion also recommended that Party committees at all levels, based on Regulation No. 213 of the Politburo, should pay attention to inspecting, supervising, and surveying the implementation from the grassroots level; combined with preliminary and final reviews to remedy and overcome limitations and shortcomings in implementing Party regulations; contributing to strengthening Party member management, promoting the pioneering and exemplary role of Party members at their place of residence, promoting the study and following of Ho Chi Minh's ideology, morality, and style of Party members currently working.
