"Run" towards the goal and "queue" according to the rules.

At the conference, Director of the Department of Political Theory Doan Van Bau stated that, regarding the reorganization of the political system's apparatus according to Conclusion No. 127-KL/TW, the reorganization of administrative units at all levels, and the construction of a two-tiered local government model, the first principle is to unify the reform and streamline the apparatus, building a lean, efficient, effective, and effective political system; and to strictly adhere to the principle of unified Party leadership. General Secretary To Lam has also repeatedly emphasized the Party's leadership role; we have determined to "run and queue" simultaneously – "running" towards the goal and "queuing" according to the principle.

The reform and reorganization of the administrative apparatus must ensure overall coherence, unity, and synchronicity within the political system, and comply with the Constitution and laws. Furthermore, it must adhere to certain principles, specifically: firstly , in addition to the natural area and population size stipulated by law, careful consideration should be given to historical factors, national cultural traditions, geographical location, and the scale and level of socio -economic development. Secondly , the highest priority should be national development, expanding the development space for the new administrative units; prioritizing the reorganization of mountainous and lowland administrative units alongside those with coastlines.

Another principle is to ensure consistency, reduce intermediate levels, and build local governments at the commune level that are close to the people, serve the people, and, in short, must come from the heart to the heart, always listen, always understand, and promptly accompany and serve the people, just like the police force has a very good and profound slogan: "When the people need us, when the people are in difficulty, the police are there."

In addition, the policy is that reorganization is not mandatory for administrative units that are isolated or have a particularly important location related to national defense, security, and the protection of national sovereignty .

The Director of the Department of Political Theory also outlined six criteria for the reorganization process, including: natural area; population size; history, cultural traditions, religion, and ethnicity; economy, including criteria related to geographical location, scale, and level of economic development; geopolitics; and national defense and security.

The naming of the reorganized provincial-level administrative unit follows these principles: thorough research; careful consideration of historical and cultural traditions; prioritizing the use of one of the names of the administrative unit before the merger; and minimizing the impact on citizens and businesses.

"Based on the experience of the Mass Mobilization Department and the Propaganda Department, the units that need to be reorganized must quickly synchronize, quickly become one entity, quickly unite, and work together; there should be no 'my province, your province' mentality, but rather a focus on the common cause of national development to lead our country into an era of progress," said Director Doan Van Bau.

Working day and night, all for the sake of new development opportunities.

Besides these advantages, some officials and civil servants also expressed concerns and worries about the future after the merger. "As human beings, this is unavoidable; the worries and anxieties are personal, but for the greater good, some have voluntarily relinquished their positions. News agencies and media outlets need to spread this spirit of responsibility and self-sacrifice for the common good," the Director of the Department of Political Theory stated.

Furthermore, we will continue to streamline the units that are not merged, ensuring that within 5-10 years they will be truly streamlined, effective, and efficient, eliminating the situation where officials simply "carry their umbrellas to work in the morning and carry them back home in the evening." We must reorganize and screen officials; those who lack the necessary competence must be dismissed.

In these historical times, we must work day and night; our greatest joy is to move forward, to be pioneers, and to set an example. All of this is for the sake of new development opportunities, for the aspirations of the nation, and for the nation's standing. If we do not do this, we will be failing our ancestors.

"This is the time for us to uphold revolutionary moral qualities, to ignite the flame, and to foster a spirit of self-confidence, self-reliance, and self-strength in the entire team and the people. More than ever, we must uphold the spirit of democracy, unity, and compassion. The lesson learned is that we must be united. Unity is not only understood as unity within the Party, but also unity and consensus among the people and unity with the international community; only then can we achieve victory. Unity must be based on discipline and order," the Director of the Department of Political Theory emphasized.

At the same time, he also suggested that great attention should be paid to the use of social media; there needs to be a change in mindset and methods of propaganda, writing in a way that deeply touches the hearts of each person, creating enthusiasm and motivating people to work, rather than just being forceful and boastful. "With the spirit that this is a historical moment, each person must fulfill their duty and responsibility, with their honor and weighty responsibility, to dedicate themselves and offer their commitment."
