Overview of the 4th Conference of the 12th Party Central Committee

Regarding the innovation of the growth model, the General Secretary emphasized that this must be considered a fundamental and important task in the current period. The General Secretary analyzed: We must clearly understand that the growth model that our country is innovating and building is a growth model that increasingly relies more on labor productivity, quality and competitiveness of the economy; mobilizing, allocating and effectively using resources according to market signals and mechanisms; promoting patriotism, national pride, human talent and creativity and all potentials and advantages of industries, fields, localities and the whole country; creating opportunities for all people to participate and benefit from growth; focusing on improving growth quality, maintaining macroeconomic stability, implementing social progress and equity, ensuring national defense, security and preserving the ecological environment.

Growth model innovation is an important task.

Of course, depending on the actual situation of each industry, sector and locality, we must reasonably combine growth in breadth and depth, in which growth in depth is the main direction. Gradually shift from growth based mainly on investment and export to growth based simultaneously on investment, export and the domestic market. Gradually shift from relying on increasing the quantity of production input factors to relying on increasing productivity, labor quality, applying science and technology and innovation. Exploit and maximize internal resources in combination with attracting and effectively using external resources.

Regarding the implementation of the international economic integration process, the General Secretary stated that this process has many opportunities and challenges. Opportunities can become challenges if not taken advantage of in time. Challenges can turn into opportunities if we proactively and successfully respond.

Therefore, when signing, participating in and implementing new-generation free trade agreements, it is necessary to maintain an independent and autonomous foreign policy; diversify and multilateralize international relations. Remain steadfast in the goal of international economic integration for the benefit of the nation and people, maintain political and social stability on the basis of international law, equality and mutual benefit. Consider proactive and active international economic integration as a major strategic orientation to build and protect the Fatherland. In the next 5-10 years, it is necessary to focus on prioritizing the development and implementation of policies and measures to implement signed agreements, meeting the requirements of ensuring the improvement of the effectiveness of international economic integration in association with maintaining political and social stability.

Party building and rectification focuses on 4 groups

General Secretary Nguyen Phu Trong pointed out that today, more than ever, we need to promote the Party's traditions and good nature, take care to build our Party to be truly steadfast in politics and ideology; highly unified in will and action; clean in ethics and lifestyle; tight in organization; closely attached to the people, capable of leading the country to further development.

What is new this time is that the Central Committee has frankly and systematically pointed out the manifestations of degradation in political ideology, morality, lifestyle, "self-evolution", "self-transformation". The most dangerous of these are the fading of revolutionary ideals, lack of steadfastness on the socialist path, vagueness, wavering, lack of faith; speaking and acting contrary to the Party's viewpoints and policies; even declining fighting spirit, not defending what is right, not fighting what is wrong, following wrong and distorted perceptions and viewpoints; no longer being conscious of wholeheartedly serving the country and the people, not fulfilling assigned duties and responsibilities; not properly implementing the principles of Party organization and activities.

The degradation of morality and lifestyle is manifested in: selfishness, pragmatism, opportunism, profiteering, fame-seeking, corruption, and power-hungry; factionalism, disunity; bureaucracy, distance from the people, and indifference to the difficulties and grievances of the people. From the degradation of political ideology, morality, and lifestyle leading to "self-evolution" and "self-transformation" is just a short step, even a very short step, with unpredictable dangers, which can lead to assisting or colluding with evil and hostile forces, betraying the ideals and revolutionary cause of the Party and the nation.

The Central Committee affirmed that the degradation of political ideology, morality, lifestyle, "self-evolution", "self-transformation" within the Party has both objective and subjective causes, in which the subjective cause is the main one, originating from the lack of self-cultivation and training of cadres and Party members themselves; unstable ideological stance; falling into individualism, forgetting responsibility and duty to the Party and the people. The principle of democratic centralism is loosened, the principle of self-criticism and criticism is not strictly implemented.

The General Secretary emphasized: Regarding the tasks and solutions for Party building and rectification, the Central Committee agreed to carry out many specific and practical tasks synchronously, focusing on four groups: On political and ideological education, self-criticism and criticism; on mechanisms and policies; on inspection, supervision and Party discipline; on promoting the role of the people and the Fatherland Front, and socio-political organizations. Focus on setting examples of good people and good deeds; preventing, warning and criticizing wrongdoings. Strongly fight against individualism, selfishness, and "group interests".

Review and perfect the mechanism for controlling the exercise of power by those in positions of power. Strictly handle violations of Party discipline and State laws; resolutely fight corruption, negativity and waste. Strictly implement the principle of democratic centralism within the Party; personnel work, inspection work; education, training and management of Party members. Promote the supervisory role of the people, the press and public opinion.

The Central Committee especially emphasized that if this Resolution is to be implemented in life and create clear changes, the entire political system must participate. Each Party organization, each cadre and Party member, first of all senior cadres, key cadres, and leaders at all levels and sectors must deeply and fully understand their responsibilities to the people and the Party in order to voluntarily implement it. Here, the exemplary role of the Central Committee is extremely important and has decisive significance. The General Secretary pointed out: Each comrade member of the Central Committee, member of the Politburo, the Secretariat, each comrade head of Party committees and authorities at all levels must voluntarily and exemplaryly implement the resolution, match words with actions, give strong direction with great determination and great effort.

The General Secretary said: The Central Executive Committee has thoroughly and comprehensively considered issues related to the implementation of the policy of deploying the Project to build nuclear power plants in Ninh Thuan province; highly agreed with the Report of the Politburo. At the same time, assigned the National Assembly Party Delegation and the Government Party Committee to absorb the Central Committee's direction, complete the report and submit it to the National Assembly for consideration and decision.

The General Secretary stated that the fourth meeting of the 12th Party Central Committee was a great success. The effective implementation of the resolutions and conclusions of the Central Committee at this meeting will contribute significantly to bringing the Resolution of the 12th Party Congress into life./.
