The delegation of authority to the grassroots level and the pilot delegation of authority to the grassroots party committee where the direct superior level is not the provincial party committee, the municipal party committee, or the party committee directly under the Central Committee, and the delegation of authority to admit and expel party members to the grassroots party committee contribute to strengthening decentralization, reforming administrative procedures in the Party, overcoming a number of difficulties and shortcomings in the activities of grassroots party organizations with important positions, operating on a wide scale, and with a large number of party members. The system of party organizations abroad and party organizations in enterprises, especially state-owned enterprises, has been given attention to be consolidated and has much Innovation; functions, tasks, powers, and organizational structure of the Party Committee at the grassroots level in state-owned enterprises are clearly defined, affirming the comprehensive leadership role of the Party Committee in the enterprise.

Some Party committees and organizations have not strictly implemented the principle of democratic centralism, limited debate and discussion in Party activities, and in some places have even seriously violated it.

In each term, the Central Executive Committee has developed a full-term work program[26], setting out major and important tasks to focus on comprehensive and synchronous leadership and direction of all aspects of work; the Central Executive Committee basically implemented the proposed program correctly and made timely adjustments to meet the requirements of leadership and direction, in accordance with the country's situation.

The Central Executive Committee, the Politburo, and the Secretariat have truly promoted responsibility, democracy, and collective intelligence in concretizing the Resolutions of the 11th, 12th, and 13th National Congresses into resolutions, conclusions, directives, regulations, and statutes [28] and effectively led and directed their implementation throughout the Party.
Comrades Politburo members, Secretariat members, Central Executive Committee members and especially the General Secretary spent time working directly with Party committees and subordinate Party organizations, inspecting, learning and grasping the situation. reality at the grassroots level.

Limitations, difficulties, and inadequacies: The implementation of tasks and powers of the Standing Committee of the Party Committee, especially the working relationship between the Party Committee Secretary and the Chairman of the People's Committee, is still confusing in some places. Chapter IV, which regulates the Party's leadership bodies at local levels, does not yet stipulate that the Commune Party Committee is the leadership body at the commune level.

Most grassroots party organizations have promoted their role as political nuclei at the grassroots level, leading cadres, party members and people to successfully complete the political tasks of localities, agencies and units according to the functions and tasks prescribed by the Party Charter and the Central Committee.
The work of evaluating and classifying the quality of grassroots party organizations every year is seriously organized and implemented by party committees and organizations at all levels in accordance with regulations and instructions of the Central Committee, gradually overcoming the disease of achievements and becoming more realistic.
Party committees at all levels have focused on leading, directing, and seriously implementing the Party Charter, the Politburo's directives, and the Central Committee's regulations and instructions on the content, tasks, terms, and delegates attending the Party Congresses and Party Cells; basically electing enough numbers and ensuring the quality of Executive Committee members, Standing Committee members of the grassroots Party Committees, Party Cells, Secretaries, and Deputy Secretaries; maintaining the order, regime, and activities of Party Cells, Party Cells, Party Committees, and Grassroots Party Committees according to regulations; piloting online activities according to the Central Committee's instructions; a number of Party Cells with many Party members are organized and operate according to Party cells.

Limitations, difficulties, and inadequacies: Some localities have not established party cell models in accordance with regulations; many residential area and neighborhood group party cells have too many party members. The activities of party cell organizations are still confused, encountering many obstacles, hierarchies, and limited roles, especially in the work of inspecting and supervising subordinate party cells and party members [30] and the work of organizing cadres. Regular meetings twice a year in grassroots party cells with many party members and activities scattered over a wide area are difficult; some places have not implemented them seriously. Periodic and thematic activities in some types of party cells, especially party cells in enterprises and some organizations and bases abroad, still face many difficulties and confusion. The role and fighting strength of party cells are still weak, and cadres and party members have not been promptly detected when they commit violations during their work and activities.
There are no specific regulations for grassroots party committees, upper-level party committees, and party committees that have been delegated authority or piloted the delegation of authority to upper-level party committees after their establishment without maintaining the required number of party members. The term of a party cell directly under a grassroots party committee is 5 years and twice, which is not consistent with the term of the congress of the higher level and the regulations on cadre work. There are difficulties in determining the political tasks of the term and the work of arranging cadres (before July 1, 2025) . Regulations on establishing grassroots party organizations, including grassroots party committees and grassroots party cells[31], are not close to the reality of the scale, nature and tasks of each type of party organization. In reality, there are many types of party committees and grassroots party cells with different functions and tasks, but the Party Charter only stipulates the general tasks of grassroots party organizations, which is not suitable for reality ( the Secretariat has issued functions and tasks for each type of grassroots party organization ). There are no specific regulations on the conditions for establishing grassroots party cells and affiliated party cells; on the functions and tasks of local party committees. Reality shows that the regulations on grassroots party organizations still have many issues that need to be carefully studied to be amended and replaced to suit the overall model of organizational apparatus in the new period.
2.7. On party organization in the Vietnam People's Army and the Vietnam People's Public Security (Chapter VI)
The new regulations of the Politburo and the Secretariat on party organizations in the Vietnam People's Army and the Vietnam People's Public Security, and political agencies in the Vietnam People's Army have been supplemented, amended, and issued in a timely manner, in line with the streamlining of the organization of the Vietnam People's Army and the Vietnam People's Public Security, contributing to the rapid completion of the party organization system in the Army and the Public Security [32] . The position and leadership role of party organizations in the Army and the Public Security are increasingly affirmed and strengthened; the functions and tasks of different types of party organizations and party cells in the Army and the Public Security are reviewed, supplemented, and amended; the functions and tasks of party organizations in the Army and the Public Security are more clearly defined, contributing to the removal of difficulties and obstacles.
Strictly implement the regulations on the provincial and municipal Party Committee secretaries participating in the military region party committees; the provincial and district-level Party Committee secretaries (from July 1, 2025, communes, wards, and special zones) being the military party committee secretaries at the same level; the deputy provincial and municipal Party Committee secretaries in charge of the border guard party committees (before July 1, 2025) ; the deputy secretary is the chairman of the people's committee in charge of the public security party committee at the same level; the local military and public security party organizations at any level are under the direct leadership in all aspects of the local party committees at that level, and at the same time comply with the resolutions of the military party committees and public security party committees at higher levels in terms of expertise and profession; The coordination regulations between the superior public security committee and the subordinate local committee in leading and directing the public security committee at the same level [33] have affirmed the position and leadership role of the committee, the suitability of the dual leadership mechanism for party organizations in the local army and police, promoting the role of party organizations in the local army and police, contributing to the good performance of military, defense and police tasks in the locality.

Limitations: The structure of military agencies participating in local Party committees is not suitable[34]; the completion of key cadres in provincial-level local military agencies [35] participating in local Party committees is still slow in some places (before July 1, 2025) .
2.8. On the inspection and supervision work of the Party and inspection committees at all levels (Chapter VII)
The Politburo, the Secretariat, Party committees and inspection committees at all levels have focused on leading, directing and organizing the comprehensive implementation of inspection and supervision tasks according to the provisions of the Party Charter, regulations and instructions of the Central Committee on: performing the functions and tasks of Party committees, Party organizations and inspection committees at all levels in leading and directing inspection and supervision work and organizing the implementation of inspection and supervision tasks; organization, number, membership structure, tasks and powers of inspection committees at all levels; inspection and supervision work of advisory and support agencies of Party committees; on inspection, supervision and control of power, prevention and combat of corruption and negativity in inspection, supervision and enforcement of Party discipline; regulations on inspection and supervision of asset and income declaration; on direction of superior inspection committees to subordinate inspection committees in inspection and supervision work; on the inspection work of party organizations on the cultivation and training of ethics and lifestyle of cadres and party members with a resolute spirit, "without stopping, without resting", "without slacking off", with focus, key points, closely following political tasks and Party building work; strengthen inspection of the implementation of Party building and rectification work, associated with promoting the study and following of Ho Chi Minh's ideology, ethics and lifestyle, the work of fighting against corruption, waste and negativity, especially in sensitive areas, prone to negativity and public outrage [36] ; deploy inspection and supervision of the implementation of Party resolutions right from the first year of the term. Party organizations and party members strictly comply with the Party's inspection and supervision according to the provisions of the Party Charter.
Inspection committees at all levels always receive Under the leadership and direction of the Party Committee at the same level, directly and regularly by the Politburo, the Secretariat, the Standing Committee, the Standing Committee of the Party Committee, and the direction and guidance on professional matters of the superior inspection committee, properly perform the assigned tasks and powers according to regulations; respect and strictly implement the principle of democratic centralism, work according to the collective regime, and make decisions by majority vote.
The advisory and support agencies have closely followed the direction of the Party Committee, assigned functions, tasks and authorities, initially performed well the work of inspecting and supervising the Party Committees and lower-level Party organizations in implementing the Party's policies, resolutions and regulations, the State's policies and laws, etc., rectifying shortcomings and defects in principles, procedures, processes and working regimes and transferring to the inspection committee a number of cases when Party organizations and Party members showed signs of violations.

The addition of tasks and authority to inspection committees at all levels (executing party member discipline, handling denunciations and complaints; disciplining party organizations from one level to another; controlling assets and income), especially the decentralization of authority to the grassroots level (party committees, standing committees of party committees, grassroots inspection committees) in enforcing discipline, handling denunciations and complaints against party members has reduced the number of denunciations and complaints to the Politburo and the Secretariat, and there have been no complaints to the Central Executive Committee.
Limitations, difficulties, and inadequacies: The review, revision, supplementation, and promulgation of procedures and regulations on inspection and supervision work by a number of Party committees and organizations are sometimes not timely; there are contents that are not consistent with the regulations and instructions of superiors or the practical situation, such as: (i) The problem of incompatibility, synchronization, and symmetry between Party discipline and administrative discipline; the statute of limitations between Party discipline and administrative discipline. (ii) Difficulties for Party organizations: When a Party member is dismissed from his position in the Party, if there is a complaint, the competent authority will reduce or remove the discipline, but the issue of restoring the position, rights, and honor of that Party member is difficult to implement; the problem of the mentality of "hoping for luck" to complain until the right to complain is exhausted because the settlement is implemented sequentially from the Inspection Committee to the Standing Committee, Party Committee to the Central Executive Committee. (iii) Difficulties in establishing new party organizations or introducing party activities to party members when party organizations are disciplined and dissolved; recording party member records for party organizations that have been disciplined and dissolved. The time limit for election to the Party Committee, appointment to equivalent or higher positions for party members who are disciplined and dismissed is one year according to Clause 3, Article 40 of the Party Charter, which needs to be amended to conform to the current regulations currently in effect during the 13th term.

The issue of ensuring compliance with the principle of democratic centralism when the superior inspection committee has different opinions from the Party Committee and the Standing Committee of the lower Party Committee. At the same time, it is necessary to assess difficulties in tasks, authority, and coordination between the inspection committee and relevant agencies in controlling assets and income in order to make appropriate proposals.
The work of inspecting party finances for lower-level party organizations, financial agencies of the same-level Party Committees, and the performance of inspection and supervision tasks by a number of inspection committees, advisory and support agencies of Party Committees, especially at the district level, is still limited; the work of inspecting and supervising Party enterprises has not received due attention [37] . Some Party Committees of enterprises in the Army have not yet arranged specialized inspection officers as prescribed.
Regulations on subjects, contents of inspection and supervision; on complaints and levels of settlement of party disciplinary complaints of party members; on the authority to enforce discipline of party cells have broad contents, some contents Not suitable to reality. There is no specific regulation on the authority to conclude inspections and supervisions assigned by the Party Committee to specialized agencies to advise and assist the Party Committee in conducting inspections.
2.9. On rewards and discipline (Chapter VIII)
Party committees at all levels have regularly paid attention to leading, directing and organizing the implementation of emulation and commendation work, synchronously and uniformly implementing commendation for party organizations and party members in the entire Party organization. The commendation and commendation of party organizations and party members with achievements are implemented by Party committees and party organizations in accordance with the regulations and instructions of the Central Committee on authority, standards, subjects, procedures, gift values and forms of commendation. The addition of regulations on awarding the 45-year Party membership badge, early consideration, posthumous consideration, and not yet considered for awarding the Party badge to party members is appropriate, meets the wishes of party members, and has the consensus and unity within the Party.
Basically, Party committees at all levels strictly implement the Party Charter, regulations and instructions of the Central Committee on disciplinary action against violating Party organizations and Party members. Complaints of Party organizations and Party members and the settlement of Party disciplinary complaints are of concern to Party committees and Inspection Committees at all levels, implemented carefully and objectively [38] ; Disciplinary action against violating Party organizations and Party members is implemented promptly, strictly, within authority and procedures, ensuring principles, directions and guidelines in disciplinary action.

Some party members take advantage of the right to complain and denounce to cause disunity, negatively affect the honor and reputation of party members and party organizations, and violate regulations on what party members are not allowed to do.
Regulations on the value of gifts and forms of rewards are not consistent with those of the State. Regulations on the authority and forms of rewards of provincial-level Party committees and direct superiors of grassroots Party organizations for Party organizations and Party members with the same excellent performance in 5 consecutive years are not yet unified [40] . Regulations on the statute of limitations for Party and State discipline have inconsistent content [41]. Some regulations on the time of arrangement and use of cadres and Party members after being disciplined are still inadequate.

The implementation of leadership in inspection work by the Party Executive Committee and Party Delegation is still limited. The coordination between the Party Executive Committee and Party Delegation with the Party Committee, the collective leadership, and the heads of agencies and units in some places is still confusing and not tight.

Regulations and instructions on the organization and operation of Party cells in the Nationalities Council and Committees of the National Assembly and National Assembly delegations are not complete.
2.11. The Party leads the Ho Chi Minh Communist Youth Union (Chapter X)
Party committees and youth union chapters at all levels have strictly implemented the Party Charter's regulations on the Ho Chi Minh Communist Youth Union. The Youth Union has truly been the Party's reliable reserve force, regularly supplementing young forces for the Party, continuing the glorious revolutionary cause of the Party and President Ho Chi Minh [42] ; is the core force in the youth movement; at the same time, is a socialist school, representing the interests of the youth and in charge of the Ho Chi Minh Young Pioneers Team to continue to develop.

Some grassroots Party committees have not paid due attention to monitoring and inspecting youth work. The arrangement and assignment of Youth Union cadres when they are no longer of working age for the Youth Union is facing many difficulties, especially for grassroots Youth Union cadres due to the small number of cadres and civil servants at the commune level.

Some party organizations are still confused about the management and use of the retained party fees. Funds for the activities of party committees at the grassroots level and abroad are facing difficulties. The management of finances, assets, and activities of some enterprises and public service units of the Party is still limited, and in some places, it has not received due attention, even allowing violations to occur to the extent that disciplinary action must be taken.

In the past terms, although the Party Charter was not amended, the 12th and 13th Congresses decided or assigned the Central Executive Committee to concretize many important and urgent contents and issues of the Party into the regulations and instructions of the Central Committee to decide on revolutionary issues of the Party, creating a solid foundation for our country to confidently and steadily enter a new era, an era of rising up, developing richly and prosperously for the nation, such as: implementing the introduction of re-election for the position of General Secretary for the third term; organizing a two-level local government, not organizing at the district level, merging commune-level administrative units; ending the activities of party delegations and party executive committees at the central and provincial levels; piloting the appointment of the Politburo and higher-level Party committees by the Politburo and higher-level Party committees to the executive committee, standing committee, secretary, deputy secretary, inspection committee, chairman, deputy chairman of the inspection committee of the Party committees directly under the Central Committee and places where new Party committees and Party organizations are established; Piloting the organization of Party Committees of communes, wards, and special zones directly under the Provincial Party Committee and City Party Committee as the direct superior Party Committee of the grassroots Party organization... affirms the adherence to and strict implementation of the Party Charter; the principles of organization and operation of the Party, within authority; flexible leadership and direction, meeting the requirements of the country's development in the new situation.

Some Party members take advantage of the right to complain and denounce to cause disunity, negatively affecting the honor and prestige of Party members and Party organizations, violating regulations on what Party members are not allowed to do.
In addition to the above limitations and difficulties, although the Party Charter was not amended, the 13th Congress agreed to study and absorb the opinions of the Congress to concretize them into the regulations and guidelines of the Central Committee and important revolutionary issues being implemented. In the process of implementing the Party Charter, there are some contents in the regulations and guidelines that are still inadequate: (1) Regarding the concretization of the principle of democratic centralism; (2) Regarding the age of admission to the Party, regarding the Party membership card, regarding the introduction of Party activities and temporary Party activities; (3) Regarding the case where the structure is prescribed as a Party Committee member, Party Committee Secretary but not a Party member of that Party organization; (4) Regarding the Party Committee at a higher level of the Party grassroots organization and the Party grassroots organization (not suitable); the Party organization model in places with special characteristics (not clearly defined); (5) Regarding the functions and tasks of the Party grassroots organization and Party cells, which have not covered all types; (6) On the Party's leadership bodies at the local level (provincial and communal levels) ; on Party committees; (7) Some specific regulations on the Party's inspection, supervision and disciplinary enforcement work; disciplinary authority of the Standing Committee and the Inspection Committee of the grassroots Party Committee; (8) Some regulations on commendation work and disciplinary statute of limitations, arrangement and use of cadres and Party members after being disciplined; (9) On the organization and leadership methods of Party organizations and Party members in State leadership agencies, the Fatherland Front, and elected socio-political organizations; in executive and judicial agencies at the central and provincial levels; the Party leads the Ho Chi Minh Communist Youth Union; (10) Some documents on the implementation of Party fee work; (11) On digital transformation and administrative reform in the Party.
