Building the Party in terms of ethics must first build culture.

Professor Hoang Chi Bao: "Ethics is the core of culture, so to build the Party on ethics, its radical logic is that we must build the Party on culture."

On the morning of November 22, in Hanoi, the Editorial Board of Communist Magazine, the General Department of Politics of the Vietnam People's Army and the Ministry of Public Security jointly organized a national workshop: "Party building on ethics - Theoretical and practical issues".

National workshop: "Party building on ethics - Theoretical and practical issues".

Senior Lieutenant General, Associate Professor, Dr. Nguyen Van Thanh, member of the Party Central Committee, Deputy Minister of Public Security; Senior Lieutenant General Nguyen Trong Nghia, member of the Party Central Committee, Deputy Director of the General Department of Politics; Associate Professor, Dr. Doan Minh Huan, alternate member of the Party Central Committee, Editor-in-Chief of the Communist Magazine co-chaired the workshop.

129 presentations by leaders, managers, scientists from central departments, ministries, branches and many localities across the country sent to the Organizing Committee of the Workshop, affirming that building ethics in the Party is a highlight, a necessary supplement in renewing thinking and awareness of current Party building work; suitable to the needs, meeting the aspirations of cadres, party members and people; creating a solid foundation to build a strong Party in politics, ideology and organization.

The discussions also proposed important and main solutions from theory and practice, contributing to improving the quality of Party building work on ethics, especially recognizing and correctly assessing the current situation, arousing and promoting ethical values, good traditions, fighting to overcome the degradation of political ideology, lifestyle ethics, manifestations of "self-evolution" and "self-transformation" within the Party, successfully implementing the Party building and rectification work according to the Resolution of the 12th National Party Congress.

Mr. Ha Dang spoke at the workshop.

Speaking at the workshop, Mr. Ha Dang, former member of the Party Central Committee, former Editor-in-Chief of Nhan Dan Newspaper, former Head of the Central Ideology and Culture Department (now the Central Propaganda Department) stated that the issue of building ethics in the Party is not something that has just happened. Enhancing the role of Party building in terms of ethics does not mean reducing the key importance of Party building in terms of politics, ideology, and organization. On the contrary, Party building in terms of ethics (broadly speaking, in terms of culture) is used to supplement and energize Party building in the above aspects.

Professor Hoang Chi Bao, Senior Expert, former member of the Central Theoretical Council, believes that ethics is the core of culture, so when we build the Party in terms of ideology, politics, and ethics, its radical logic is that we must build the Party in terms of culture, in which ethical culture is the most important highlight.

From the current practice of innovation and development of our country, especially the determination to build a clean and strong Party, according to Professor Hoang Chi Bao, we can see more clearly the need to build a cultural Party to realize a great thought of President Ho Chi Minh: "The Party is moral and civilized".

Quoting President Ho Chi Minh, the general idea is that "practicing culture can push back bureaucracy and corruption, fight against depravity and all moral degradation, which is individualism, an internal enemy."

Fighting against individualism, the internal invaders lurking within, is a lifelong battle and there will be no small amount of pain in the heart, even having to self-examine, self-admonish, self-correct, self-reflect," Professor Hoang Chi Bao said that these are very necessary things to realize the strategic importance of Party building in terms of ethics and ethical culture within the Party./.
