The General Secretary pointed out a number of limitations and shortcomings that need to be overcome, such as: the work of selecting, training, promoting, appointing, rotating, transferring, and evaluating cadres currently has many shortcomings and inadequacies; the work of managing and evaluating cadres is still very difficult; the work of preventing and combating degradation, self-evolution, and self-transformation is not uniform; the strategic arrangement of cadres has not been focused on; Party activities in many places are still formal, the combativeness in self-criticism and criticism is still low; the control of power in cadre work, although there has been initial change, is not yet effective; the situation of abuse of power, taking advantage of power, and profiteering in cadre work still occurs in some places and among some leaders; reform of administrative procedures in the Party...

Regarding some directions and tasks in 2025, a year with many important events in the country, directly related to the Party building organization sector, General Secretary To Lam suggested that the leaders of the Party committees and the Central cadre organization system must always have 3 questions, and at the same time must have reasonable answers. That is, how to have the Party's operating apparatus, the State's organizational apparatus, effective, efficient? How to have a team of cadres who are enlightened, dedicated to the country, the people, and the Party's cause. Why does our Party have to choose cadres as the key?

The General Secretary suggested that it is necessary to do a good job of advising and streamlining the political system's apparatus in conjunction with restructuring the staff. Streamlining the political system's apparatus is a difficult problem, even very difficult. When streamlining the apparatus, it will involve the thoughts, feelings, aspirations, and interests of a number of individuals and organizations. Therefore, this work needs to be carried out objectively, cautiously, democratically, scientifically, and methodically. The Central Organizing Committee in particular and the Party building organization sector in general must highly promote their advisory role to carry out this task.

The General Secretary emphasized that the streamlining of the apparatus must closely follow and ensure the correct implementation of the principles and viewpoints of the Party and the Central Committee, which have been agreed upon by the Constitution, the Political Platform, the Party Statutes, the Party's principles, and the Central Committee's resolutions, ensuring comprehensiveness, synchronization, and connectivity. One agency must perform many tasks, and one task must be assigned to only one agency to preside over and take responsibility for, thoroughly overcoming overlapping functions and tasks, and division in areas and fields; limiting intermediary organizations, clearly defining specific functions, tasks, and responsibilities on the basis of Party nature, rationality, and legality; and reviewing the functions and tasks of each organization and apparatus.

Prepare and organize well the Party Congresses at all levels, towards the 14th National Party Congress.

The General Secretary requested to advise on streamlining the organizational apparatus of Party agencies to truly be the intellectual core, the General Staff, the vanguard, and leaders of state agencies, absolutely not allowing excuses, replacing or loosening the Party's leadership; building truly streamlined advisory agencies and Party committees, comprehensively assessing the concurrent holding of Party and political system positions to have appropriate decisions.

The General Secretary requested that relevant Party regulations be urgently reviewed to proactively advise on supplementation, amendment or new issuance in accordance with regulations on the basis of the overall model of the political system, creating a political and legal basis for the political system to operate immediately upon completion, without interruption. Work under the authority of the Politburo, the Secretariat, levels, sectors and localities that can be done first should be done immediately, without waiting for the Central Committee. Party agencies need to study, unify, arrange, truly streamline the apparatus and do it first.

The Central Organizing Committee and the Government Party Committee promptly reported to the Politburo on policies and regimes for cadres when streamlining the organizational apparatus. The Central Organizing Committee, the Government Party Committee, and the National Assembly Party Delegation promptly advised the leadership and directed the urgent revision and supplementation of Party regulations and State laws to ensure the streamlining of the apparatus and effective and efficient operation.

The General Secretary pointed out that with the streamlining of the apparatus at each level and each sector, it is necessary to urgently review and have a plan to restructure the staff with sufficient qualities and abilities, equal to the tasks, reasonable staffing, standardization of titles; resolutely prevent and combat the abuse of the policy of arranging the apparatus and staff for negativity and corruption. Strongly innovate the work of recruitment, training, promotion, appointment, rotation, transfer, and evaluation of staff in a practical direction because finding people is based on specific, measurable products, with effective mechanisms, screening, removing from work positions those who do not have enough qualities, abilities, and prestige, and using those with outstanding abilities.

The General Secretary requested that leaders and heads of Party committees and agencies need to be exemplary, proactive and determined in carrying out assigned tasks in the spirit of the Central Committee taking the lead and sending it to the locality. The General Secretary clearly assigned the Central Organizing Committee to advise on amending and supplementing Directive No. 35 of the Politburo on Party Congresses at all levels towards the 14th National Party Congress.

The General Secretary requested that it is necessary to prepare and organize well the Party Congresses at all levels, towards the 14th National Party Congress, focusing on advising on the development and ensuring the quality of draft documents for the congresses at all levels, and advising on the preparation for the election of Party leadership bodies at each level with high fighting capacity.

The General Secretary emphasized that cadre work is the key task of Party building work related to the survival of the Party and the fate of the country's regime. Cadres are the root of all work, the decisive factor in the success or failure of the revolution. Along with cadre work, Party building and organizational work has a particularly important position, a great responsibility, and great glory.

The workload ahead for the industry is very heavy and urgent. The country is standing at the door of history. Entering a new era, the General Secretary requested the entire industry to organize Party building, have a deeper awareness of roles and responsibilities, make efforts, strive to reach out with the highest political determination, and complete all assigned tasks; in which, focus on urgently advising on streamlining the organization and political system, contributing to accelerating the breakthrough beyond the goals and tasks of 2024-2025 and the entire term of the 13th National Party Congress; prepare well for Party Congresses at all levels, towards the 14th National Party Congress.

In his reply, Politburo member, Party Central Committee Secretary, Head of the Party Central Committee's Organization Commission Le Minh Hung expressed his hope that the Party Organization and Building sector will continue to receive closer attention, leadership, and direction from the General Secretary, the Central Executive Committee, the Politburo, and the Secretariat so that the work of Party organization and building and the building of the political system will achieve higher quality and efficiency, contributing to improving the Party's leadership capacity and fighting strength, better meeting the requirements and tasks in the coming time.

To continue promoting the fine tradition of the Party Building Organization sector, inheriting the achievements of the past year, Head of the Central Organizing Committee Le Minh Hung launched the 2025 emulation campaign with the content: "The Party Building Organization sector continues to unite, join hands, and overcome all difficulties and challenges, strive, accelerate, break through, and well perform assigned political tasks and contribute to the successful organization of Party Congresses at all levels towards the 14th National Congress of the Party"./.
