We must fundamentally change the mindset, if we keep the old mindset of no decentralization or half-hearted decentralization, it will be very difficult to work.

The General Secretary emphasized that the issue of decentralization of state management must be included in the system with a very clear division of labor, decentralization to tasks so that the apparatus must run, everyone must perform according to their functions and tasks. Decentralization is determined to directly serve the people's needs, create the most favorable conditions for the people, and ensure that all people's needs are resolved at the grassroots level. The central and provincial levels only make policies. The focal point that represents the authorities at all levels is at the grassroots level.

According to the General Secretary, on the basis of decentralization, training must be organized, new issues updated, and very specific instructions given to cadres on what needs to be done and must be done. There must be no situation where cadres push their work around or do not see their full responsibilities. This is the important content to evaluate cadres.
