Morning coffee connects and is closer to the people
In Thu Dau Mot city, the model of "morning coffee exchange with the people" was first organized at the park of neighborhood 5, Phu My ward around December 2022.
The model was implemented with the desire to be close to the people, to listen to their voices. The model is a new initiative to promptly resolve problems and problems that cause public outrage. At the same time, through that, the government adjusts its methods and ways of working to achieve the highest efficiency, avoiding causing trouble for the people.
This model also creates a space for direct meetings and exchanges between city leaders, ward leaders and people, to listen to and promptly resolve people's recommendations and reflections, and at the same time build a close, trusting relationship between ward leaders and people.
After a period of effective operation, the Standing Committee of Thu Dau Mot City Party Committee directed the expansion of the model of "morning coffee exchange with people" to 100% of neighborhoods in Phu My ward.
According to the assessment of the Standing Committee of the Thu Dau Mot City Party Committee, over the implementation period, the model has created a high consensus among cadres, party members and people in the area. The model of "morning coffee exchange with the people" has been expanded to wards and even the city level of Thu Dau Mot, bringing many positive results, some wards have implemented very well.
In Tuong Binh Hiep ward, the "morning coffee exchange with the people" model of the ward Party Committee is considered a breakthrough model in building a close relationship between the government and the people.
Morning cups of coffee not only start a new day, but also are a place where local authorities join with the people to listen, share and resolve all their thoughts and aspirations. From there, creating a vivid image of innovation in the mindset of serving and for the people.
Faces shining with confidence, hands clasped tightly as if tightening the relationship between the government and the people after each morning coffee session.
This is not just a conversation but also a journey to build trust, foster solidarity, and affirm the Party's spirit of "serving the people".
