According to him, in personnel work, if there is a lack of attention from Party leaders and information, the appointment can be "correct procedure but not the right person for the right job". Therefore, the twoOver the past year, along with implementing and continuing to improve processes, standards, and criteria on personnel work, the Party building organization sector hasRegularly consult opinions from many other information channels, thereby assessing the level of consensus among related personnel, especially sensitive and key positions.

The leader of the Central Organizing Committee said that in 2017, the Party building organization sector at the central level conducted the process of election, appointment, transfer and rotation of 424 personnel, including 5 members of the Politburo and Secretariat, 3 Ministers and equivalent, 6 heads of central Party agencies and mass organizations, 8 Secretaries of provinces, cities and centrally-affiliated Party committees.

"The rearrangement of Politburo members and Central Party Committee members must consult many channels. This way of doing things, combined with openness and democracy, leaves no room for lobbying. The Central Organizing Committee has also advised on the issuance of the decision.The 5-step personnel process is stricter than the previous 3 steps. I think, from the beginning of the term until now, there has been no problem with the arrangement of cadres at the Central level.run"The results of the personnel arrangement prove this," Mr. Chinh said.

Mr. Pham Minh Chinh said,Recently, "regardless of whether the Party building work was done well or not well", the Central Organizing Committee sent its leaders to meet with each member of the Standing Committee of the provincial and municipal Party Committees to hear honest, objective, and accurate feedback. "We then synthesized the information but did not disclose the source of the information," said Mr. Chinh.

Regarding the decentralization of cadre management, Mr. Chinh clearly stated the Central spirit.Only work at the central level, the central level works down to the district level, the district level works down to the grassroots level. This way of doing things "is decentralization, clearly defining responsibilities, and being close to reality".

The leaders of the Central Organizing Committee also noted that the entire industry must regularly care for the spirit and material of cadres, civil servants, and workers, and pay attention to the working environment.

"Many party committees are suffocated by unfair working environments.Standardization and tightening of discipline must go hand in hand with liberating resources, promoting intelligence, creativity and proactiveness of everyone, at all times."Always using discipline and order to tie everything up, creating a 'golden circle' that leaves no room for development," he said.

Staff requirementsHealth check every 6 months

According to the Head of the Central Organizing Committee, the motto of the Party building organization sector in 2018 is "active, proactive, close to reality, innovative, creative, and focusing on efficiency".

"The focus of the upcoming personnel work is to build a team of key leaders at all levels, especially worthy leaders," he emphasized, adding that the entire industry must continue to carry out this work.Party building and rectification according to Resolution 4 of the 12th Central Committee.

Regarding the mechanism of power control, Mr. Chinh said that recently "there were not enough control tools, so they were abused and corrupted, many officials turned the power entrusted by the Party, the State and the people into their own to give and ask for." Therefore, now the Party building organization sector must advise on building Party regulations and rules, and then legalize and implement them transparently.

Also according toHead of the Central Organizing Committee, illness is sudden and unwanted for anyone, the Committee has recently developed a medical examination regulation for officials. "Currently, many people are afraid to go to the doctor or subjectively do not go for a medical examination, but in the near future, officials will have to have a health check-up every 6 months," he said.

Referring to the work of rotating cadres, Mr. Chinh saidThe reason why it was possible to "run" before was because there were no public regulations, but now there are tighter regulations so it is impossible to "run".Furthermore, the spirit of the Politburo is not to rotate cadres in batches but based on the person and specific work; rotation can be regular, because if it is divided into batches, there will be "running".

Another task of the Party building organization sector in 2018 is to participate inPreparing for the 13th Party Congress, for example, will the Party Charter be amended? If the Charter is amended, a proposal must be prepared in 2018 for discussion in 2019.

Considering that education, training and development of staff is very important, Mr. Chinh said "with projectsBuilding bridges and parks requires investing hundreds of millions of dollars very quickly, but no one dares to think of 100 million dollars to train human resources for a province.

"We need to change our mindset. Roads, bridges, and infrastructure are very necessary, but soft infrastructure, including people and policy mechanisms, is very important in the current period," he said.
