A good Party branch - A source of strength for Party building.

"A strong Party is due to good Party branches, and good Party branches are due to good Party members," President Ho Chi Minh's teaching remains as valuable as ever, becoming a guiding principle in Party building and rectification. In the current context, where the demands for leadership capacity and fighting strength are increasingly high, practice shows that the Party's strength does not begin with grand gestures but is formed within each Party branch, the "cell" closest to the people and most directly involved in their work.

• Continue to innovate and improve the quality of Party branch activities.
• Building strong Party branches in hamlets and residential areas.
• Ca Mau has two outstanding Party branch secretaries who are recognized nationwide.

From “implementing resolutions” to “leading practice”

In many places, Party branches have historically only played the role of "implementing resolutions." But the new requirement is higher: Party branches must be the "leading" force, transforming policies into concrete actions and resolutions into tangible results in real life.

Speaking at the ceremony honoring outstanding Party branch secretaries, Party members, collectives, and individuals in 2025, Comrade Nguyen Ho Hai, Member of the Central Committee of the Party, Secretary of the Ca Mau Provincial Party Committee, emphasized: “Party branches are where the Party’s resolutions are directly put into practice… Party building must begin with improving the quality of Party branch activities and promoting the role of each Party member, especially the leaders.”

This is not just a directive based on principle, but a conclusion drawn from practical experience. Because no matter how sound a policy may be, if it is not effectively implemented at the grassroots level, it will be difficult to bring about change. In that operational chain, the Party branch is the crucial "link".

A strong Party branch is not just about studying resolutions thoroughly, but more importantly, about choosing the right tasks, addressing the right issues, daring to act, and seeing things through to the end. In that case, Party branch meetings are no longer just periodic events but become forums for handling work, where Party members exchange ideas, offer constructive criticism, and reach consensus on action.

Based on the understanding that "a strong Party comes from good Party branches," many localities have concretized this with practical models. A prime example is the "Four Good Party Branches": successfully completing political tasks; conducting quality meetings; maintaining unity and discipline; and having exemplary cadres and Party members. These criteria, far from being mere slogans, have become a benchmark for self-reflection and self-correction, applied flexibly to avoid rigid adherence to formulas, thereby clearly demonstrating the leading role of Party branches at the grassroots level.

Party branches closely connected to daily life - the foundation of strength in Party building.

The Party cell of Hamlet 11 (Khanh An commune) is a clear example of the shift from "formality" to "substance". For many years, it has consistently performed its duties excellently, and is one of 14 collectives commended by the Provincial People's Committee as an outstanding collective for the period 2021-2024. This result demonstrates the persistent efforts in building a disciplined way of life and upholding principles.

A notable feature is that the Party branch does not prioritize formality. The content of its meetings is always linked to local issues: livelihood development, maintaining security and order, mobilizing the people to participate in movements, etc. Each meeting focuses on resolving real issues, avoiding superficiality, thereby enhancing tangible effectiveness.

According to Ms. Le Cam Tha, Head of the Culture and Social Affairs Department of Khanh An commune, who directly supervised the activities of the Party Branch of Hamlet 11, the core value lies not in superficial achievements but in internal consensus. Everything is discussed democratically before implementation. Even after the reorganization and merger of the area, the Party branch has maintained a spirit of unity, so the work has not been interrupted.

The Party cell of Hamlet 15, along with the leaders of Khanh An commune, visited the family of Ms. Tran Thi Danh to mobilize support for building a house for her family.

Thus, it can be seen that when Party branches are closely connected to daily life, becoming places for problem-solving instead of just "reporting on the situation," the Party's leadership role is affirmed naturally and convincingly. There, the people's trust comes not from slogans but from concrete results.

Party branch secretary - the "nucleus" that creates strength at the grassroots level.

If the Party branch is the "cell," then the Party branch secretary is the "nucleus" that determines the quality of the organization. Experience shows that wherever the leader effectively sets a good example, dares to think and act, the Party branch operates efficiently, fosters consensus, and spreads trust among the people.

The commendation of 28 outstanding Party branch secretaries in the province in 2025 is not only a recognition but also an affirmation of the leading role of grassroots cadres in Party building. Among them, Comrade Danh Tre, Secretary of the Phu Tan Hamlet Party Branch (Ninh Quoi Commune), is a prominent figure, being one of only two Party branch secretaries to be commended nationwide.

Phu Tan hamlet has over 300 Khmer households, placing high demands on mobilizing and uniting the masses. Comrade Danh Tre did not choose an approach based on grand plans, but started with very specific tasks: thoroughly understanding each household, listening to their concerns, and promptly resolving emerging issues at the grassroots level.

Along with that, Party branch activities have been reformed in a practical direction, "reducing reading and copying - increasing discussion," and directly addressing issues related to people's lives. From clearly assigning responsibilities to organizing thematic meetings, resolutions have been concretized into actions, creating noticeable changes in practice.

This close connection with the people fosters trust and consensus – key factors for the effective implementation of tasks. In reality, when the leader is strong and capable, the organization not only remains stable after restructuring but also operates more efficiently.

Leaders of the Ly Van Lam Ward Veterans Association visited and congratulated veteran Huynh Minh Thi (center) on being recognized as an exemplary individual at the 2025 National Emulation Congress.

Based on the above examples, the issue is to replicate effective practices, rather than adding more models. The current bottleneck lies mainly in the implementation phase, not in a lack of policy. Where Party branches are still heavily focused on formality and have monotonous activities, resolutions are difficult to put into practice. Conversely, when Party branches are centers of unity, places for identifying and resolving problems, Party building work is closely linked to socio-economic development, while simultaneously strengthening the people's trust sustainably.

Party building is not a distant, macro-level issue, but begins with concrete things: quality meetings, exemplary party members, and practical actions. When each party branch is "healthy," the Party will be strong from its roots, and that is also the most sustainable path to enhancing the Party's leadership capacity and fighting strength in the current period.
