Institutional reform is a breakthrough to promote rapid and sustainable development.

Regarding the content of amending and supplementing a number of Resolutions and conclusions of the Central Committee to create a political basis for the goal of continuing to reform and innovate the country, General Secretary To Lam said that the Central Committee has reviewed and given instructions on summarizing practices, assessing difficulties and inadequacies in a number of current laws and institutions, thereby orienting amendments to remove legal bottlenecks and promote development in the new period.

Research on law-making in the following direction: Legal provisions must be fundamentally stable and have long-term value; laws regulating development-building contents only regulate framework issues and principled issues under the authority of the National Assembly, while practical issues that frequently change are assigned to the Government, ministries, branches, and localities to regulate to ensure flexibility and suitability to reality.

Continue to innovate and perfect the structure of the national legal system according to the new development model. Assign the Politburo to base on the Central Committee's comments to direct the conclusion on amending, supplementing and perfecting the content of the Resolutions submitted for comments at this conference.

Therefore, it is required that all levels and sectors: Proactively review, propose amendments and supplements to legal documents that are still inadequate and contradictory; Build a synchronous, unified, transparent and feasible legal system, create a favorable investment and business environment, ensure the legitimate rights of the people; Promote the application of technology in state management, and transform from a management administrative model to a service administrative model.

Resolutely not let those who do not meet the standards and conditions "slip through"

Regarding the direction of personnel work for the 14th Party Congress, General Secretary To Lam said that in the recent past, although it was necessary to focus highly on leading and directing the completion of a huge amount of work on arranging and streamlining the organizational apparatus and promptly advising on the arrangement of leaders of agencies and units at the Central and local levels, the Politburo has directed the Personnel Subcommittee to study and fully absorb the opinions of the Central Committee at the 11th Conference to complete the draft Direction of personnel work for the 14th Party Central Committee; at the same time, to develop an orientation for allocating the structure and number of official Central Party members to localities, agencies and units, and submit it to the 12th Central Conference for consideration according to regulations. These contents, after discussion, were basically agreed upon and highly agreed upon by the Central Committee.

The Central Committee unanimously stated: The direction of personnel work for the 14th National Party Congress is an especially important document, deciding the entire work of preparing and electing personnel for the Party Central Committee, the Politburo, the Secretariat, the General Secretary and key leadership positions of the State, contributing to the success of the 14th National Party Congress; continuing to enhance the position and more clearly affirm the comprehensive, absolute and direct leadership role of the Party towards the country, especially when we are directing the strong, synchronous and comprehensive implementation of the revolution to arrange and streamline the organizational apparatus from the Central to the grassroots level to enter the era of prosperous development of the nation.

Personnel work is the "key of the keys"; therefore, personnel preparation for the 14th Party Congress must be carried out in a synchronous, scientific, methodical, strict, democratic, objective and transparent manner; ensuring proper implementation of Party regulations, the principle of democratic centralism and legal provisions.

The work of preparing personnel for the Party Central Committee, the Politburo, and the Secretariat must comply with and maintain the Party's basic viewpoints and principles; must put national and ethnic interests first and foremost; handle harmoniously and reasonably the relationship between standards and structure; between inheritance, stability and innovation and development; between universality and specificity; between training expertise and strengths, practical capacity; between prestige, work experience and development direction; in which, especially promoting the quality, efficiency, work products, and dedication of cadres as a measure in evaluating, arranging, and using cadres; ensuring appropriateness in terms of structure, age, gender, ethnicity, and region.

The introduction and selection of personnel must be based on the prescribed standards and conditions, generally based on planning but not too rigidly, but must be based on specific practices for consideration, not omitting factors outside the planning but with outstanding leadership qualities and capacities, best meeting the requirements of the tasks of the revolution in the new period; at the same time, closely linked with the plan for arranging personnel to take on key leadership positions of departments, ministries, branches, agencies and units at the central and local levels for the 2026-2031 term and the Vietnam Fatherland Front and socio-political organizations for the coming term.

Resolutely do not let those who do not meet the standards, conditions, and are not worthy of participating in the 14th Party Central Committee "slip through"; at the same time, there must be effective solutions and measures to limit and promptly overcome the situation where personnel who have just been elected to the Party Central Committee or have just been planned and appointed must be reviewed, disciplined, or prosecuted for criminal liability.

The Central Committee requested the Central Organizing Committee, provincial and municipal Party Committees, and affiliated Party Committees to urgently implement plans to organize congresses at all levels, promptly handle arising problems, and avoid being passive, delayed, or allowing internal disunity to occur.

Regarding personnel work, the Central Committee highly agreed on the requirement: Upholding the principle of the Party's unified leadership of personnel work, implementing the correct procedures, being objective, transparent, democratic but serious, avoiding unhealthy lobbying. In building a contingent of cadres at all levels, in addition to the policy of paying attention to training strategic-level cadres, it is also necessary to pay special attention to building a strong contingent of grassroots cadres, capable of completing their tasks well, selecting cadres who meet the standards of political qualities, ethics, practical capacity, innovative thinking, daring to think, daring to do, daring to take responsibility, being attached to the people, having a development vision to put them in key positions.
