Resolution No. 26-NQ/TW dated May 19, 5 of the 2018th Conference of the 7th term on "focusing on building a team of officials at all levels, especially at the strategic level, with sufficient qualities, capacity and prestige." , on par with the mission" sets a specific goal that by 12, there will basically be a non-local secretary at the provincial level.
Up to now, the number of provincial secretaries who are not local people is increasing, carefully selected and qualified. This has brought a breath of fresh air, contributing to innovation and creating many changes for the locality.
In the picture of socio-economic development of localities today, there is a bold "shadow" of many provincial party secretaries who are not local people. At the same time, many cadres who were rotated to localities have grown up and returned to hold important positions at the Central level.
Through meetings and conversations with a number of provincial party secretaries who have been rotated in recent times, VietNamNet summarizes the initial results in implementing and implementing the policy of "secretaries are not local people".
Secretary of Thai Nguyen Provincial Party Committee Nguyen Thanh Hai gave VietNamNet a conversation with many experiences of a "female Provincial Party Secretary who is not local".
After nearly 4 years as Secretary of the Thai Nguyen Provincial Party Committee, can you share a few thoughts of a Provincial Party Secretary who is not a local?
First of all, with my own experience as an officer who has worked for many years in central agencies and worked locally for nearly 4 years, I feel very deeply about the necessity and effectiveness of the work. The result of the policy of rotating and mobilizing officials in general and the arrangement of Provincial and City Party Committee Secretaries who are not local people in particular.
It can be affirmed that this is a very important and correct policy, especially receiving high support and consensus from the people and the entire society.
This also aims to realize Resolution No. 26/2018, 7th Central Committee, 12th session "On focusing on building a team of officials at all levels, especially the strategic level, with sufficient qualities, capacity and prestige, on par with mission".
Through the implementation of this policy, it has contributed to creating breakthrough innovation and breakthroughs in leadership and direction of innovation in each locality. At the same time, it also contributes to training, fostering and cultivating bravery, capacity, and qualities, especially equipping yourself with abundant practical experience, daring to do, daring to take responsibility, and daring to cope with difficulties. challenges for staff in general and strategic level staff in particular.
On May 20, 5, I was mobilized, assigned, and appointed by the Politburo to join the Executive Committee, Standing Committee and hold the position of Secretary of the Thai Nguyen Provincial Party Committee for the 2020-2015 term and was subsequently re-elected in The 2020th Provincial Party Congress, term 20 - 2020.
Since that moment, I have always been aware that this is a great honor but also an extremely great responsibility before the Party, before the compatriots and people of all ethnic groups in Thai Nguyen province. Therefore, I always tell myself that I will wholeheartedly and wholeheartedly be with my beloved Thai Nguyen from now on.
It can be affirmed that, as of 2020, Thai Nguyen has a strong position in the picture of socio-economic development of the whole region and the whole country, attracting very large FDI investors. Like Samsung, there is a quite good and convenient transportation system, synchronous education and healthcare systems, etc.
This is the result that many generations of provincial leaders have cultivated over the years, which we - the leaders of this term - are fortunate to inherit.
My mission and that of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee is to continue promoting the tradition of unity and unanimity to promote the full potential and strengths of the province and the achievements left by previous generations. Together we can bring Thai Nguyen's development to a new level.
So how is Secretary Nguyen Thanh Hai now compared to nearly 4 years ago, ma'am?
Compared to nearly 4 years ago, I am still the same, still enthusiastic and eager to contribute, but it can be said that I have matured, become much more resilient (laughs).
It can be said that nearly 4 years have passed in a flash, with the love, care, sympathy, and trust of officials, party members, and people of all ethnicities in Thai Nguyen province for a female Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee from afar. home; With the spirit of inquiry, humility, learning, and listening, I and the provincial leadership team have united in leading and directing the implementation of assigned tasks.
Up to now, we have reaped some very encouraging results in socio-economic development over the past time.
There is an old saying "travel a long way, learn a sieve of wisdom" but since I have been able to return to Thai Nguyen and practice with practice at the grassroots for nearly 4 years, I will probably have learned countless 'sieves of wisdom'. as the ancients said (laughs).
That said, I have learned and accumulated a lot of experience from practice, extremely valuable lessons that no school can teach.
I also want to express my gratitude to the Politburo and the Party and State leaders for trusting me to work in Thai Nguyen.
Thanks to that, I have the opportunity to grasp the grassroots situation and accumulate practical experience in leadership and administration. Working closely, closely, and closely with the establishment has helped me grow up a lot.
Born and raised in the capital Hanoi and then returned to work in the Capital of the Resistance, the capital of "Thousand Winds" in the past, I find myself truly destined for this revolutionary land.
Naturally, I don't know when I have always thought of myself as a child of Thai Nguyen and will strive to contribute with the provincial leadership and people of all ethnic groups in the province for a Thai Nguyen always " peaceful, happy, prosperous and increasingly developing", building this place to soon become a large, modern economic and industrial center not only of the Northern Midlands and Mountains region but also of the Capital region. in 2030.
In your opinion, what is the difficulty of being a Provincial Party Secretary who is not a local person?
In my opinion, the Provincial Party Secretary is not a local person, which has its difficulties but also its ease.
I think that everything new contains both opportunities and potential as well as potential risks and challenges. Before returning to work locally, I worked in the fields of culture, education, law making,...
When returning to work in Thai Nguyen, a very new, comprehensive field of work, the leader directs all areas of a locality while I do not have much practical experience, surely everyone is worried. settle.
As a cadre from the Central Government to the locality, not only me but perhaps many other comrades also need time to learn the basics, grasp the advantages and especially the difficulties, challenges, and problems. The current realities facing localities need to be resolved.
In addition, going to the facility a lot has helped me understand the thoughts and feelings of the staff and the expectations and desires of the local people. From there, I and the provincial leaders set out directions to solve common problems as well as solutions to solve specific cases and problems.
However, besides the difficulties because I do not have much practical experience and do not fully understand the problems of each area and facility, I find that I also have quite some advantages.
These are accumulated and experienced experiences in law-making, gathering and supervising the resolution of the thoughts and aspirations of voters nationwide in all fields, during my two terms working in the National Assembly. (Chairman of the Culture and Education Committee, Head of the People's Prayer Committee) including nearly 2 term as a member of the National Assembly Standing Committee.
Therefore, with the accumulated experience, when I returned to work in Thai Nguyen, I was very interested and found many solutions to improve the quality of citizen reception work. I spent a lot of time researching documents, records, and citizens' letters before continuing; Digital conversion application, digitization of documents, images...
Before each incident, I hold a meeting to listen to the advice of the support team, functional agencies, and experts on solutions to resolve and completely handle the case before each meeting with citizens.
Directly receiving citizens regularly every month shows me that this is a very important job, but more important is the preparation work before receiving citizens. If prepared well, the quality of citizen reception will be greatly improved and many cases will be resolved thoroughly, legally and with the consent of the people.
Over the past 4 years, I have received 44 citizen meetings with 44 different cases. Up to now, 39 cases have been resolved, and 5 cases are still pending resolution until December 31, 12. .
For me, every day I receive citizens every month is usually a day when I feel very happy because an issue (sometimes lasting decades) has now been completely resolved and received high consensus. of people.
Improving the quality of citizen reception from the top also has a strong spillover effect to all levels and sectors in the province. And therefore, many cases have been resolved right from the grassroots level, people do not have to continue to wait and submit complaints to superiors.
I understand that if the people's aspirations are thoroughly resolved, it will have a great effect in building people's trust in the Party, the Government and the province's cadres and leaders. And when you have faith, you have everything.
From the practice of local leadership and administration, what can you conclude to overcome the difficulties of a non-local Secretary?
Perhaps the lesson of "unity" that our ancestors taught is still paramount. The unanimity, "one tree cannot make a mountain, three trees together can make a high mountain" and the mutual support within the Standing Committee, Provincial Party Standing Committee, and Provincial Party Executive Committee is always the lesson. indispensable learning.
At the same time, promoting the role of the leader and absolutely complying with the Party's policies, principles and regulations is the most profound lesson for me during my time working in the locality.
In my opinion, first of all, no matter where, in any situation, if there is not a united group that dares to innovate, be creative, has the desire to develop, and dares to confront new and difficult problems; Without the joint efforts of businesses and the trust of the people in the province, it would be difficult for me and the leadership of the province as well as Thai Nguyen to reap some of the recent achievements.
In addition, I always keep in mind that: "The more difficult and complex the work, the more public and transparent the leadership and direction must be and must concentrate all legal resources to be determined to carry it out"; "Correct policy - High consensus - Drastic action" will surely achieve the most positive results.
When solving and handling tasks, you must always be enthusiastic, "hot" but absolutely not "in a hurry"; Everything must be done "quickly" but absolutely not "carelessly"; and must always be "active" in every situation but absolutely not "subjective".
Thanks to that, I see that no matter how difficult the work is, I and the provincial leadership are determined to try, unanimously agree to find a solution and complete it.
During your years of experience in the local area, what do you like most?
Like many conversations with VietNamNet newspaper, the thing I choose and am most excited about when returning to Thai Nguyen is the digital transformation work.
Thai Nguyen has identified digital transformation as an inevitable trend, the shortest and most economical path to help realize many goals in economic development, and an opportunity to create strong breakthroughs in the process. development process.
Therefore, Thai Nguyen has been quite agile, and has paid special attention to the issue of digital transformation in all three areas, digital economy, digital government and digital society. Being ahead of the curve in the field of digital transformation is one of the solutions to help Thai Nguyen realize its dream of being a growth pole and a modern industrial economic center not only of the Northern Midlands and Mountains region but also also of the Capital region by 3.
And now, it is a great joy that Thai Nguyen has become one of the top 10 provinces in the country in digital transformation.
Besides, attracting new FDI enterprises to invest and continuing to expand investment into the province is also one of the marks of Thai Nguyen in recent times, the total export value of Thai Nguyen province has continuously increased. reached the top 5 nationwide.
Budget collection in the province from the beginning of the term until now and next year has been higher than the previous year and reached the highest level ever.
This is the basis that helps us take care of the poor, people in difficult circumstances and implement many other social security policies.
We also have the financial conditions to carry out many outstanding public investment projects, including the investment project to build an inter-regional road connecting "Bac Giang - Vinh Phuc - Thai Nguyen" (starting in 2022 and expected to be completed). September 9) and many provincial roads, district roads, and commune roads are focused on investment,...
The fact that Pho Yen Town was decided by the National Assembly Standing Committee to become a provincial city nearly 3 years earlier than the set target and became an important new growth pole of the province contributed significantly to the results. The province's growth performance over the past time can also be said to be a highlight in the results achieved in the first half of the last term.
So what else makes you worry and wish to do in the near future?
I still have many concerns, such as in the field of tourism, our Thai Nguyen is very beautiful, as poet Nguyen Thin described:
“I only came to your hometown once
My hometown, Thailand, is absolutely beautiful
The mountains are majestic and poetic
The poetic beauty does not want to be moved."
We in Thai Nguyen have hundreds of historical relics, and are especially famous for having Nui Coc Lake, which was once compared to Ha Long Bay "on land", but nowadays investment, investment attraction and tourists The schedule to Thai Nguyen is still not commensurate with the potential.
Or like Thai Nguyen, which is most famous for tea, has a total tea growing area of 22 thousand hectares, the largest in the country, but the total revenue from tea is currently estimated to only reach over 11 trillion (nearly 500 million USD).
Therefore, we also want to improve quality management, design, bring culture and tradition to life in each cup of Thai Nguyen tea to gradually increase the added value from the tea tree.
I dream that, with the current total tea growing area, by 2035, the total revenue from tea trees of people in Thai Nguyen province must be 1 billion USD and "Thai Nguyen people will get rich from tea trees".
Thus, in order to build Thai Nguyen into one of the richest and most prosperous provinces in the North of our country as Uncle Ho wished when he visited Thai Nguyen in 1964, I see that there is still a lot of work that needs to be done promptly. next time.
