The era of development, the era of wealth, the era of prosperity
Analyzing some basic perceptions about the new era, the era of national development, General Secretary To Lam emphasized that it is the era of development, the era of prosperity, the era of prosperity under the leadership and rule of the Communist Party of Vietnam, successfully building a socialist Vietnam, a rich people, a strong country, democracy, equality, and civilization. All people have a prosperous and happy life, are supported to develop and enrich themselves; contribute more and more to the peace, stability, and development of the region and the world, to the happiness of humanity and global civilization.
The destination of the rising era is a rich people, strong country, democracy, fairness, civilization, developing under the socialist regime, standing shoulder to shoulder with the world powers.
The top priority in the new era is to successfully implement the strategic goals by 2030, Vietnam will become a developing country with modern industry and high average income; by 2045 it will become a developed socialist country with high income; strongly arouse national spirit, spirit of self-reliance, self-confidence, self-reliance, national pride, and aspiration for national development; closely combine national strength with the strength of the times.
The starting point of a new era is the 14th National Party Congress. From now on, all Vietnamese people, hundreds of millions of people as one, under the leadership of the Party, will unite, join hands, make the most of opportunities and advantages, push back risks and challenges, and bring the country to comprehensive and strong development, breakthrough and take off.
The basis for positioning the goal of bringing the country into a new era, an era of national growth, is the great achievements after 40 years of renovation under the leadership of the Party, which have helped Vietnam accumulate enough position and strength for breakthrough development in the next stage. The world is in a period of epochal change, this is also a period, an important strategic opportunity, the final stage of the Vietnamese revolution to achieve the 100-year strategic goal under the leadership of the Party, creating a solid premise to achieve the goal of 100 years of national founding.
General Secretary To Lam commented that the epochal change brings new opportunities and advantages but also many new difficulties and challenges, of which the latter are more prominent. However, opportunities and fortunes can still appear amid the sudden changes in the world situation. The problem is how we can seize those opportunities and fortunes. The fourth industrial revolution, especially artificial intelligence and digital technology, brings opportunities that developing and underdeveloped countries can seize to get ahead and develop rapidly.
The history of the Vietnamese Revolution shows that, under the Party's wise and talented leadership, by arousing the will of self-reliance, self-confidence, self-reliance, self-strengthening, and national pride, by mobilizing the strength of the entire people combined with the strength of the times, our Party has led our nation to one victory after another, creating miracles in the Revolution to liberate the nation, unify the country, and build an independent, free, and happy Socialist Vietnam.
The General Secretary affirmed that now is the time for the Party's will to blend with the people's hearts in the aspiration to build a prosperous, happy, and prosperous country, soon successfully build socialism, and stand shoulder to shoulder with the world powers.
Requires strong innovation in the Party's leadership method
Continuing to discuss strategic orientations to bring the country into the era of national advancement, General Secretary To Lam stated that, regarding the improvement of the Party's leadership method, besides the results, the innovation of the Party's leadership method still has shortcomings and limitations and the requirement to strongly innovate the leadership method, improve the Party's leadership capacity, governance, and fighting strength, ensuring that the Party is the great helmsman, leading our nation to rise up has become an urgent issue, a matter of survival.
General Secretary To Lam requested to focus on implementing a number of strategic solutions, strictly implementing the Party's leadership and governance methods, absolutely not allowing excuses, replacing or loosening the Party's leadership. Focus on streamlining the apparatus and organization of Party agencies, truly being the intellectual core, the "General Staff", the vanguard leading state agencies.
In particular, research and promote the consolidation of a number of advisory and support agencies of the Party, ensuring that the Party's leadership tasks do not overlap with management tasks; distinguish and clearly define the specific tasks of leaders at all levels in different types of Party organizations, avoiding the situation of making excuses, or duplication and formality.
Strongly innovate the promulgation, dissemination and implementation of Party Resolutions; build grassroots Party organizations and Party members who are truly "cells" of the Party. The people who implement Party Resolutions must be all Party members. Therefore, Resolutions of Party committees and organizations at all levels must be concise, easy to understand, easy to remember, easy to absorb, easy to implement, accurately identify the requirements, tasks, paths and methods of development of the country, of the nation, of each locality, each ministry and sector; must have vision, scientific nature, practicality, practicality and feasibility; create excitement, trust, expectation and motivation to urge the actions of cadres, Party members, economic sectors, enterprises and people to implement the Party Resolutions.
A revolution in organizational structure
Along with the requirement to strongly innovate the Party's leadership method, General Secretary To Lam also clarified the content of streamlining the organization and apparatus for effective and efficient operation and emphasized that the arrangement of the organization, especially for the Central agencies, is a particularly important issue, which can be considered a revolution in the organization of the apparatus; affecting the development of the country and the thoughts, feelings, and interests of cadres, party members, civil servants, and public employees in the political system. This is also a scientific organizational issue, very difficult and complicated, because there are many views, opinions, and different perspectives.
Therefore, the implementation must be urgent but not hasty, it is necessary to clarify the principles to determine no overlap in functions and tasks between agencies, one task is assigned to only one agency in charge, other units coordinate; clarify specific policies to ensure the legitimate rights and interests of cadres, party members, civil servants, public employees, and workers (including political and ideological work and policies and regimes), ensure the streamlining of the apparatus and apparatus associated with streamlining the payroll, minimizing the impact on the lives of cadres, party members, civil servants, and workers; ensure that the apparatus of the political system operates continuously, without interruption, without leaving any time, area, or field vacant during the rearrangement process.
The General Secretary analyzed that building an effective and efficient organizational apparatus is a difficult and complicated task, requiring solidarity, unity, courage, and sacrifice of each cadre and party member, along with the high determination of the entire Party and the entire political system, first of all the heads of Party committees, authorities, the Fatherland Front and organizations at all levels, working with the motto "The Central Committee sets an example - Localities respond".
Evaluate staff in a practical way, because finding people
Another important content that General Secretary To Lam discussed directly was about some solutions to build a team of cadres in the new period. The General Secretary pointed out that it is necessary to strongly innovate the work of recruitment, training, promotion, appointment, rotation, transfer, and evaluation of cadres in a practical direction, for finding people, on the basis of specific measurable products; strengthen self-training and self-development, especially for the requirements of digital transformation; build a mechanism to encourage and protect cadres with innovative thinking, who dare to think, dare to do, dare to break through, and dare to take responsibility for the common good.
Organizations must have a set of assessment tools to clearly distinguish those who dare to think, dare to do, dare to innovate for the common good from those who are adventurous, reckless, fanciful, and unrealistic; have a protection mechanism for cases of risk and error early on, right from the time of proposing a plan; screen and remove from work those who do not have the qualities, capacity, or prestige; focus on training, fostering, and testing comrades who are planned to participate in Party committees and standing committees of Party committees at all levels, ensuring the selection of Party committees, especially leaders with leadership capacity, high fighting spirit, who dare to think, dare to do, dare to take responsibility, dare to innovate for the common cause, have the capacity to lead the successful implementation of the Party's policies, and bring the Party's Resolutions into practice in life in each field and locality.
Stronger breakthrough in development institutions
Also at the direct exchange, General Secretary To Lam requested stronger breakthroughs in development institutions, removing bottlenecks and barriers, taking people and businesses as the center, mobilizing and unleashing all internal and external resources, resources within the people, developing science and technology synchronously and smoothly, all for the economic, cultural and social development of the country and improving the material and spiritual life of the people. These are some solutions and strategic directions to develop the economy, repel the risk of falling behind and the middle-income trap.
In addition, it is necessary to consider synchronization and breakthrough in the construction of socio-economic infrastructure as the highest priority. At the same time, focus on developing new productive forces (combining high-quality human resources with new means of production, strategic infrastructure for transportation, digital transformation, green transformation) associated with perfecting production relations. Initiate and implement the digital transformation revolution. Promote strategic technology, digital transformation, green transformation, taking science and technology, innovation as the main driving force for development.
Strategic solutions to prevent waste
The General Secretary also noted that the strategic solution for the coming years is to strengthen the prevention and fight against waste, equivalent to the prevention and fight against corruption and negativity. From issuing Party regulations to identify, national strategies, legal regulations and enforcement throughout the Party, the entire people, the entire army; strictly handling individuals and collectives whose behaviors and actions cause loss and waste of public assets in the spirit of "handling one case to warn the whole region and the whole field". Because according to the General Secretary, waste is currently quite common, in many different forms, and has been causing many serious consequences for development.
Therefore, it is necessary to review and supplement regulations on management mechanisms and economic and technical norms that are no longer suitable for the country's development practices. Complete regulations on handling wasteful behavior; regulations on management and use of public assets; institutions in the application of information technology, digital transformation, creating synchronization in transformation to minimize waste. Resolutely resolve the long-standing problems of important national projects, key projects, low-efficiency projects, causing great loss and waste; weak commercial banks. Quickly complete equitization, improve the operational efficiency of state-owned enterprises.
The General Secretary emphasized the need to build a culture of preventing and combating waste; making the practice of thrift and combating waste "voluntary", "self-conscious", "daily food, water, and clothing".
