Hanoi (VNA) – The Party-building organisation sector should further uphold its role as a think-tank on personnel arrangements and 🐻management for the country’s political system.

It was noted at a conference in Hanoi on March 26 during which the sector reviewed its 2015 performance and initiated its tasks for 2016. The conference brought together 400 delegates from provincial and municipal Party Committees and central Party Organisations. In 2015, the Party-building organisation sector accomplished all projects and tasks assigned by the Politburo, the Secretariat and Party Committees at all levels. Through the organisation of implementing the fourth Party Central Committee resolution on building the Party in the 11 th tenure, the sector helped create positive changes in preventing and combating negative words and deeds in the Party. It also fixed limitations in personnel work, especially the implementation of the principle of democratic centralism. The sector worked to prepare personnel arrangements for the Central Committee, the Politburo and the Secretariat of the Party in its 12 th tenure after assisting and inspecting the organisation of grassroots Party congresses. In the year, the sector, however, still struggled to deal with its cumbersome system, overlapping tasks and inefficient operation. It found a proportion of Party members and State officials who showed degraded political ideology, policies, morale and lifestyle, among others. Addressing the conference, Party General Secretary Nguyen Phu Trong affirmed that the Party-building organisation sector contributed largely to the country’s socio-economic growth, safeguarded sovereignty, socio-political stability, and heighten international role in 2015. It played a crucial role in the successful 12 th National Party Congress. In 2016, the country is facing new and tougher tasks when the hostile forces are resorting to undermine the Party’s revolutionary cause, he stressed, emphasising the need to continue drastic, comprehensive, uniform reforms as guided by the Party Platform and the new Constitution to promote democracy. He noted that a political renewal doesn’t mean changing the political system and the nature of the Party and the State. The Party chief pointed to the need to persist in implementing the fourth Party Central Committee resolution on building the Party, together with the campaign to learn and follow late President Ho Chi Minh’s thought and morale, to create visible changes in the effort to end the degradation in political ideology, ethics and lifestyle. Due attention should be paid to the leadership, personnel work, monitoring, inspection, and discipline observance in the sector, he said. He required the sector to focus on the organisation of the upcoming election of deputies to the 14 th National Assembly and People’s Councils at all levels in the 2016-2021 tenure, as its short-term tasks. Further improving its advisory capacity in personnel arrangements, and reinforcing the supervision over the implementation of the Party’s guidelines, resolutions and conclusions are among the sector’s long-term duties, according to the Party chief. The Party-building organisation sector’s staff should be brave to fight wrongdoings, sectarianism, individualism, and group interests, he stressed.-VNA
