The group’s Party Committee and Directorate also frequently sent cadres in charge of Party and political work to its lower-level business and production establishments. The cadres listened to opinions, ideas and complaints from officers and workers at the establishments. The cadres could help the establishments overcome difficulties and handle their issues. For big issues, they would summarize them and then report to the group’s leadership for solutions.
In order to successfully carry out Party and political work, Viettel’s Party Committee and Directorate relied on Party cells and Party members.
