Some limitations and shortcomings were pointed out by delegates such as: the content of the activities is still formulaic, still focusing on professional issues; the spirit of self-criticism and criticism of party members is not high, sometimes no party members speak up. The assignment of tasks as well as the inspection and supervision of party members in the performance of their duties and responsibilities in some party cells have not been done well.
