N.A. Vice Chairwoman Nguyen Thi Thanh delivers a presentation at the plenary discussion of the ongoing 14th National Party Congress on January 21. |
The Party characteristics can be understood as steadfast loyalty to the Party’s ideological foundation, strict observance of discipline and organizational principles, and exemplary conduct by Party members.
In the presentation, Thanh said that implementing the Party’s guidelines and Party General Secretary To Lam’s direction on renewing legislative mindset, and with close coordination with the Government and relevant agencies, the 15th N.A. has focused its energies on institutionalizing the Party’s strategic and groundbreaking decisions.
This has helped remove bottlenecks, gradually shape a development-oriented institutional framework, and serve key priorities such as streamlining the organizational apparatus, improving the socialist-oriented market economy, promoting science, technology and innovation, and accelerating digital transformation.
As a result, the N.A. completed an unprecedented constitutional and legislative workload. Its supervision activities have concentrated on pressing issues of public concern, reflecting the aspirations of the people, promoting the implementation of the Constitution and laws, and strengthening the socialist rule-of-law system. Decisions on major national issues have continued to be renewed to better meet the requirements of industrialization and modernization.
In the legislative process, the N.A. has attached special importance to public consultation and social feedback. Parliamentary debates have paid close attention to the impact of laws on human rights and citizens’ rights, as well as the feasibility and vitality of each legal provision. The spirit that “the N.A. will convene meetings whenever the country and the people need,” together with early and proactive preparations, has marked clear progress in both Party characteristics and the people-centered approach of the 15th legislature.
Thanh noted that in the new era which is characterized by accelerated industrialization, modernization, innovation, digital transformation and deep international integration, comprehensively and synchronously improving development institutions has become the foremost task and the key breakthrough. In this context, enhancing Party characteristics and the people-centered approach is both an internal political principle and an objective requirement of practice, as well as a prerequisite for the N.A. to effectively fulfil its three core functions.
She underscored the need to ensure the comprehensive and direct leadership of the Party Central Committee, the Politburo, the Secretariat and the N.A.'s Party Committee over all N.A. activities, while continuing to renew legislative mindset towards development facilitation. At the same time, greater emphasis must be placed on supervising the institutionalization and implementation of the Party's resolutions and the State's laws.
The N.A.'s Party Organization is striving to continue building a clean, strong and well-functioning organization, strengthening its role in strategic advisory work and in translating the Party’s guidelines into laws, while ensuring clear yet well-coordinated responsibilities between Party building and the fulfilment of political and professional duties.
At the same time, it is making efforts to ensure the successful organization of the upcoming election of deputies to the 16th N.A. and People's Councils at all levels, prioritize the quality and integrity of deputies, and further promote people-centered law-making and supervision so that all decisions reflect both the Party’s will and the people’s aspirations, enhance policy feasibility, and respond effectively to public concerns.
In conclusion, Thanh affirmed that the Party characteristics and the people-centered approach form a dialectical unity. The Party characteristics provide the correct political orientation, while the people-centered approach serves as the most vivid measure of Party-characteristics in practice. Only when both are fully upheld can the N.A. truly meet the requirements of working with other bodies in the political system to realize the aspiration of building a strong, prosperous and happy Vietnam in the new era, she said.
