The Document Subcommittee requests that the Subcommittee members and the Editorial Team continue to closely coordinate with the Socio-Economic Subcommittee and the Party Charter Implementation Subcommittee to seriously listen to, study and filter the comments of Party congresses at all levels and the people, especially the comments of former Party and State leaders, scientists, managers, etc. to continue to improve and enhance the quality of the draft Political Report, ensuring that it is at the right level of a central report to be presented to the 13th National Party Congress.
After listening to 18 comments, General Secretary and President Nguyen Phu Trong, Head of the Document Subcommittee, concluded the meeting, welcoming the Editorial Team for their recent promptness, positivity, and thorough synthesis and absorption of the Central Committee's comments, editing and supplementing, perfecting the draft documents, ensuring compliance with the proposed program and plan. The members of the Subcommittee participated actively and responsibly, contributing many comments on each field, wording, concept, etc.
General Secretary and President Nguyen Phu Trong requested the Editorial Team to continue perfecting the draft reports, submitting them to the Politburo for comments, promptly serving the grassroots party congresses; at the same time, continuing to promote democracy, listening, respecting contributions, filtering to study, supplement and perfect the draft documents. Issues that are clear, mature, proven correct by practice, and highly unanimous should be included in the document, while issues with different opinions, unclear, and immature should continue to be studied and discussed. The motto is to gradually perfect them in a truly democratic spirit, truly listening. Difficult issues such as topics, goals, breakthroughs, high and low evaluations, etc., with different opinions, need to continue to be studied to find answers in practice, listening to the common voice of the majority.
In the process of completing, supplementing and improving the quality of draft documents, it is necessary to update new situations so that the documents are both summary and general, political and ideological, and inspirational.
General Secretary and President Nguyen Phu Trong noted that the Editorial Board needs to listen, respect, and promote the intelligence of experts and scientists with in-depth knowledge in each field. The Political Report is the central report; other reports and thematic reports must be consistent with the central report. Therefore, the Documents Subcommittee needs to coordinate closely with the Socio-Economic Subcommittees and the Party Charter Subcommittee to create high consensus and unity. Comments and assessments must be general and have a vision summarizing 35 years of innovation and 10 years of implementing the 2011 Platform for Supplementation and Development./.
