Mr. Vo Van Minh called on deputies to uphold a strong sense of responsibility, focus their intellect, maximize their roles and thoroughly embrace the congress’s guiding principles to contribute to its success.
A key focus of the congress is the discussion of draft documents, therefore delegates need to thoroughly review the documents and put forward constructive, high-quality opinions during the discussions, notably focusing on proposing specific tasks and solutions in key areas such as Party building, strengthening the political system, defining overarching goals, setting key targets and outlining measures to ensure effective political leadership.
Additionally, key discussions will also focus on Party development in political, ideological, and ethical work; organizational structure, personnel and membership; inspection, oversight and disciplinary measures; as well as efforts to combat corruption, misconduct and waste.
The congress will further deliberate on improving mass mobilization, advancing grassroots democracy, strengthening the role of socio-political organizations, reforming leadership methods within Party committees, and accelerating internal administrative reforms.
Regarding the draft Action Program to implement the Resolution of the Party Committee of Ho Chi Minh City Party Agencies’ First Deputies Congress and the 14th National Party Congress, Mr. Vo Van Minh emphasized that this is a new and significant task. He urged deputies to closely follow the draft documents to assess, analyze and put forward proposals that are practical and well-suited to the realities of both the Party Committee and the city, ensuring high feasibility during implementation.
He also noted that the Standing Party Committee of HCMC Party Agencies for the 2020–2025 term is collecting contributions from officials, Party members, civil servants, public employees, youth union members, association members and workers on the drat documents of the 14th National Party Congress, to be submitted to the HCMC Standing Party Committee. Therefore, the deputies need to continue their discussions to further refine key viewpoints, objectives, policies and strategic directions outlined in the draft congress documents, particularly the political report.
At the congress, the Party Committee of HCMC Party Agencies organized a donation event for people in the Northern midland and mountainous regions, as well as the North-Central provinces, affected by recent and current floods.
With the well-prepared organization of the event and the sense of responsibility demonstrated by each deputy, Mr. Vo Van Minh expressed his confidence that the congress would meet the expectations of Party members, officials, civil servants, and employees, contributing significantly to the success of the First Deputies Congress of the Ho Chi Minh City Party Committee.
