The development of this period will be an important premise for Vinh city to become a fast-growing, sustainable, civilized and modern smart city by 2045; one of the important development drivers and growth poles of the North Central region.
Therefore, in drafting documents for Party Congresses at all levels, the Vinh City Party Committee Standing Committee directs with an offensive spirit and ideology, a strong desire for development, correctly identifying strengths, development focus and high feasibility in implementation at each level, agency and unit in the overall strategy, tasks and solutions for socio-economic development of the whole country, the province, the industry, the city, locality, agency and unit.

Proactively solve difficulties
Along with the drafting of congress documents, the work of preparing personnel for the Party Congresses at all levels for the 2025-2030 term has been proactively carried out by the Standing Committee of the City Party Committee from afar, early on. The city always pays attention to directing units to review the professional and political qualifications of cadres, civil servants, public employees, and non-professional workers in the planning source of Party committees and authorities for the 2025-2030 and 2026-2031 terms to nominate them to participate in training and fostering courses to improve the standards of cadre titles. Regarding the level of political theory at the grassroots level, the city currently has 96.5% of Party committee secretaries and 96.8% of Party committee deputy secretaries, and 92% of grassroots Party committee members with intermediate or higher political theory qualifications.
In order to "take a shortcut" in the work of arranging administrative units at district and commune levels for the period 2023 - 2025 and the work of preparing personnel for the congress, the Standing Committee of the City Party Committee seriously implemented Official Dispatch No. 1757, dated March 7, 2023, regarding the temporary suspension of recruitment, reception of civil servants and public employees, and the addition of Party committees and appointments of leaders and managers of the city and grassroots. The city pays special attention to the work of comprehensively reviewing the overall staff and civil servants in terms of quantity due to fluctuations and qualifications, professional capacity, moral qualities, and dedication to carry out transfers and arrangements one step before the congress.
In 2024 alone, Vinh City Party Committee has directed the organization of two reviews of cadres at all levels; one in March 2024 and is currently continuing the final review to serve as a basis for developing a personnel plan, focusing on ideological work for those who do not meet the standards for re-election according to regulations, while proactively developing plans to arrange, assign, and resolve policies for cadres.

Personnel work for block and hamlet Party committees has long been considered difficult, but in recent years, along with changes in policies, the city has directed Party committees and grassroots Party organizations to pay attention to planning and building a "successor" team. Accordingly, many grassroots Party committees have assigned responsibility to the current Party committee cadres to find sources, train, foster, and plan cadres to replace them in the coming time.
On the other hand, to create strength and leadership capacity of the Party cell, the Party cell of the block - hamlet, and at the same time implement the policy of holding concurrent positions: Party cell secretary or deputy party cell secretary is also the block - hamlet chief; the city directs the election of block and hamlet chiefs before conducting the Party cell congress with the requirement that block - hamlet chiefs be Party members to be introduced for election to the Party cell committee, to elect to hold the position of Party cell secretary or deputy party cell secretary who is also the block - hamlet chief. As of October 9, 2024, 265/324 blocks and hamlets in the city have completed the election of block - hamlet chiefs; of which 241/265 block - hamlet chiefs are Party members.

Vinh City Party Committee has also proactively worked with Cua Lo Town Party Committee and Nghi Loc District Party Committee in directing the congresses at grassroots party committees merged into Vinh city, ensuring progress, quality and synchronization when the National Assembly Standing Committee passed the resolution on rearranging administrative units, merging Cua Lo town and 4 communes of Nghi Loc district into Vinh city.
Faced with the urgent requirement of time, and at the same time having to carry out three tasks in parallel, both directing the Party Congresses at all levels, arranging administrative units at district and commune levels, and organizing the end-of-term assessment and review, comrade Phan Duc Dong - Member of the Provincial Party Standing Committee, Secretary of the City Party Committee, Chairman of the Vinh City People's Council affirmed: Vinh City will focus highly on directing the Party Congresses at all levels; assigning specific responsibilities to each Party Committee and the heads of Party Committees at all levels, heads and members of sub-committees and working groups, to successfully organize the Party Congresses at all levels for the 2025 - 2030 term.
