The recently published Conclusion has attracted the attention, excitement and support of a large number of cadres, party members and the masses. It can be seen that in the process of leading the revolution, the Party and State always encourage and promote the dynamic and creative spirit of cadres, party members and people from all walks of life.
During his lifetime, President Ho Chi Minh once advised that in order to build socialism, first of all, there must be socialist people. In the cause of national construction and defence, the Party's guidelines, resolutions and directives have always given attention to this content in order to build a contingent of qualified cadres to serve the country and people.
The cause of Doi Moi (Renewal) initiated and led by the Party was carried out with the spirit of dynamism and creativity as well as the efforts made by the entire Party and people, including the very important contributions of many generations of leaders and managers. Doi Moi has led to a spectacular breakthrough for Vietnam’s economy, bringing the country out of a state of stagnation, poverty and backwardness.
However, in addition, the work of Party building and building a contingent of cadres still has limitations and shortcomings. The institutionalisation and concretisation of some Party resolutions is still slow; the organisation of implementation is still a weak point; some policies have not really created motivation for cadres to be fully committed to their work; and there is no mechanism to protect cadres who are dynamic, creative, dare to think, to speak, to do, to take responsibility, and to cope with difficulties and challenges as well as act decisively for the common good.
The Party building work of the 13th tenure of the Party Central Committee has focused on strongly renewing and improving the quality and efficiency of cadres' work; building a contingent of cadres at all levels, especially at the strategic level, with heads of all levels having sufficient quality, capacity and prestige on par with their tasks. Cadres’ work must really be the key task, the protection of cadres who dare to think, dare to do, dare to take responsibility for the common good must go hand in hand with the screening and removing from working positions of those who do not have sufficient qualifications, capacity and prestige.
In order to encourage and protect dynamic and creative cadres for the common good, the Politburo has requested Party committees and organisations at all levels, especially those who are leaders, to raise their awareness and responsibility. The Conclusion clearly shows the determination and new steps of the Party with a focus on building a contingent of cadres at all levels, especially at the strategic level, with sufficient quality, capacity and prestige, on par with their tasks. This is also a solution to build and perfect the law-governed socialist State.
The Conclusion No.14 is considered a guideline for cadres and party members in the process of performing their duties and responsibilities. Emphasis is placed on encouraging cadres to have creative thinking, find innovative ways of doing things, and remove and solve bottlenecks in mechanisms and policies, etc., which will bring practical effects and create strong and positive changes for the common development.
The guideline will also create a “corridor” to ensure fairness, objectivity and humanity for cadres who dare to think, dare to do, to be dynamic and creative. On the other hand, it also affirms discipline, a “steel fence” to strictly handle the abuse of the guideline to cover up corruption and negative acts, and violations of the Party’s regulations and the State's law. The Politburo has also required periodic reviews, summaries, and promotion of information dissemination and replication of effective and innovative pilot models and solutions,
The issue of innovation and creativity was posed by the 13th Party Congress as an urgent requirement of the cause of national construction and defence in the new situation. From the conclusion, the Party once again pointed out that dynamism and creativity for the common good is an important criterion of cadres and party members, a necessary quality of revolutionaries.
The Conclusion shows the determination of the Party in the process of leading the implementation and realisation of Party’s resolutions. The current task of the Party committees and relevant agencies at all levels is to concretise the guideline of the Party into specific mechanisms and regulations; as well as devise plans to organise the implementation synchronously and effectively at all levels, thereby creating a driving force for the cause of renewal and national development for the goal of wealthy people and a strong, democratic, fair, and civilised nation.
