Sir, after the 15th Central Committee Conference, many speculations about personnel information of the 14th term appeared on social networks. Can you analyze this phenomenon more clearly?
- First of all, it must be said that the fact that hostile forces or some individuals in cyberspace speculate about personnel before each Party Congress is not surprising.
This is not too difficult to understand. Due to the particularly important nature of the National Party Congress, the story of people, personnel, and important positions of the Party is increasingly receiving attention from the people, public opinion, and even international public opinion. Therefore, many layers of rumors have appeared, of course, a lot of information is very unfounded and unfounded.
The important issue is that the contingent of cadres, party members, intellectuals and people must be very alert, calm, recognize and approach comprehensively, based on official information and not be swept away by deductive and distorted information. Especially, they must be very alert and must fight against false and hostile views that the Party Congress's personnel work is a matter of "wings, internal struggle, power struggle".
Can you tell us how personnel work is carried out thoroughly and securely?
- Regarding personnel work, first of all, it must be said that this is a very important task, carried out according to the process and very strict regulations of the Party.
We can imagine that, in the final stage of preparing for the Congress, the Central Conferences must discuss very carefully, exchange in many directions, and may have different opinions, to find elite people, with sufficient capacity and qualities, to meet the mission assigned by the Party and the People. This content is discussed very carefully by the Central Party Committee at the Central Conferences so that it can serve as a basis for introducing personnel at the Party Congress.
On the other hand, according to Decision No. 2500/QD-TTg dated November 17, 2025 of the Prime Minister on the List of State Secrets in the fields of organization, cadres, labor and society, the process of preparation, project, and plan submitted to the Party Central Committee for consideration and election of personnel, Politburo members who are General Secretary, President, Prime Minister, National Assembly Chairman, Standing Secretary of the Secretariat, is not publicly disclosed as State Secrets at the Absolute Secret level.
Thus, it can be affirmed that, up to this point, the speculations and inferences about personnel work are unfounded. People outside cannot and do not have a basis to know specifically about key personnel. The speculations of hostile forces, in my opinion, are mainly subjective and do not ensure accuracy.
So, according to you, what solutions need to be implemented so that unfounded rumors are no longer "land of life"?
- To implement this task, many comprehensive and synchronous solutions are needed. However, a very important content mentioned by General Secretary To Lam at the National Conference summarizing the Party's Propaganda and Mass Mobilization work in 2025 is: The work of protecting the Party's ideological foundation is not only limited to the struggle to refute wrong, hostile, and sabotaged views, but has proactively built a continuous information posture, actively pushing back negativity, and using official information to "cover" cyberspace.
At this important conference, the General Secretary requested that the entire Propaganda and Mass Mobilization sector focus on thoroughly grasping, so that propaganda and mass mobilization officials nationwide understand the requirements and understand the work to implement the task plan in the coming time. The sector also needs to have effective management solutions to reduce "virtual" information, "hacking" information, and fake information in cyberspace; if done, crime will be reduced, negativity will be reduced, data will be sanitized, the whole society will be healthy, and people's trust will be maintained.
In my opinion, another very important thing is that we need to provide information and propaganda with official and timely information, occupying the information battlefield in cyberspace to create trust for the people. Providing official information quickly and promptly so that people are not confused or shaken by rumors on social networks.
Thank you, sir!
