The fourth Central Conference must both solve the conditions for effectively implementing policies and prepare theoretical, organizational and human basis for the long-term development of the country.
The General Secretary and President clearly stated that the overarching requirement is to improve the leadership capacity, rulership, and combat strength of the Party, to gather and promote the strength of the great national unity to realize the development goals.
Issues of organization, Party building, leadership and ruling methods; cadres, resources and socio-economic development need to be considered in organic connection with each other: The Party orients correctly. The political system and administrative machine operate effectively. Human potential and strength are promoted. People enjoy achievements. Linking immediate tasks with the 2030 and 2045 goals and long-term vision.
We must truly rely on the people to build the Party
The General Secretary and President requested to truly rely on the people to build the Party. The people's trust must be built from listening to and absorbing correct opinions, resolving legitimate rights and correcting shortcomings of cadres and party members; it is necessary to promote the role of the Fatherland Front, socio-political organizations; ensure that the people participate in contributing to policies, supervising the implementation and enjoying achievements. That is the foundation for consolidating great unity and gathering national strength.
Outlines summarizing 100 years of the Party leading the Vietnamese revolution, 40 years of implementing the Platform and researching and amending and supplementing the Party Charter need to be placed in the requirement of preparing a foundation for long-term development. The summary must explain the success, limitations, shortcomings and new issues about the country's development path and the Party's leadership role.
The 2030-2130 vision needs to identify values that must be maintained, capacity that needs to be accumulated and responsibility to future generations; do not turn the long-term vision into rigid forecasts. The Conference gave opinions on the research outline, without limiting specific amendments; the amendment of the Charter is under the authority of the Congress.
Innovating leadership and ruling methods to improve the operational effectiveness of the political system, the General Secretary and President clearly pointed out that the changing organizational model requires the completion of synchronous leadership and ruling methods. It is not possible to just rearrange the apparatus and keep the working method that is no longer suitable.
Innovating leadership and ruling methods must ensure unity in orientation, clearly define responsibilities, and fully promote the authority and proactiveness of each Party committee, Party organization and agency and unit.
The Party comprehensively leads with guidelines, strategic orientations, ideological work, organization, cadres, inspection, supervision and exemplary behavior; must fully promote the functions and powers of state agencies, the Fatherland Front and socio-political organizations. The Central Government decides on major, inter-sectoral, inter-regional issues of long-term significance; agencies assigned authority proactively concretize and be responsible for organizing implementation.
The quality of leadership must be improved from problem detection, forecasting, option selection to decision making, inspection and adjustment; it is necessary to clarify how to overcome the situation of many documents, many meetings but slow progress in work. Data and technology must help provide accurate advice, early identification of risks; not replace the responsibility of organizations and decision-makers.
According to the program, the Conference will be held until October 8, 2026.
Before the opening session, delegates attending the Conference came to lay wreaths and offer incense to commemorate the Heroic Martyrs at the Monument to the Heroic Martyrs, Bac Son Street, Hanoi City.
