The top leader, who also heads Inspection and Supervision Team No. 218 of the Political Bureau, made the statement while chairing a meeting held in Ha Noi on September 17 to adopt a draft report on the results of the third inspection and supervision round of the municipal Party Committee’s Standing Board.
General Secretary and President To Lam commended Ha Noi for its encouraging achievements in personnel affairs, as well as the refinement of regulations regarding decentralization, management, position standards, performance assessment, succession planning, training, and personnel policies.
The staffing of 126 communes and wards involved a massive workload, yet the organizational structures have operated continuously without significant disruption, he noted, adding that the city has implemented policies to attract and value talent, while accelerating the digitalization of personnel administration, management, and performance evaluation.
However, pointing out existing limitations, he urged the capital to urgently rectify gaps following the recent organizational restructuring and make personnel evaluation reform a breakthrough step.

Vu Dang Dinh, member of the Ha Noi Party Committee's Standing Board and head of the Ha Noi Party Committee's Organization Commission, speaks at the meeting. |
Emphasizing Ha Noi’s critical role as the national political – administrative center and a major hub for culture, education, science – technology, innovation and international integration, the Party and State leader requested that Ha Noi takes the lead in personnel development, adding every decision regarding personnel affects the city's development capacity and the public image of the administrative apparatus.
He demanded Ha Noi's cadre contingent be politically steadfast, possess impeccable character, and remain dedicated to the people; they must strictly observe discipline and uphold integrity in the performance of their duties. Furthermore, they must possess strategic thinking, a deep understanding of the unique characteristics of a major metropolis, and the modern governance capabilities required for effective implementation.
Personnel must be assigned based on specific local needs, he said, stressing that city-level cadres must excel in policymaking, inter-agency coordination, and resource mobilization, while grassroots ones must stay close to the public, handle tasks swiftly, and master the digital environment.
Furthermore, he said, key sectors like planning, transportation, environment, science – technology, finance, law, culture, and urban governance require officials and experts with sufficient depth of knowledge, capability, and dedication.
Ha Noi needs personnel who dare to think, act, and innovate for the common good, but all initiatives must comply with the Party’s disciplines and the State’s laws, incorporate risk management, and ensure accountability, the top leader stressed, noting that they must know how to listen to the people, engage in dialogue with businesses, respect expertise, and utilize data.
He asked for immediate review and rectification of shortcomings in the contingent of cadres following the reorganization; completion of job positions, competency frameworks and decentralization mechanisms in personnel work.
Reforming personnel evaluation must be a breakthrough, alongside improving the quality of personnel planning, training, talent development and rotation to meet the capital’s long-term development requirements, he stressed.
Ha Noi must effectively implement mechanisms to attract and make good use of talent; strengthen data-based personnel management; step up inspection, supervision and power control; and improve the quality of advisory bodies, the leader noted.
Regarding responsibility, timelines and implementation supervision, General Secretary and President To Lam said each task must have its content, lead entity, coordinating entities, deadline, expected deliverables, and individual responsibilities clearly specified. Completed tasks must have their effectiveness evaluated, while delayed tasks must have their causes, responsible individuals, and deadline for rectification pointed out. New models should only be replicated when verified data and objective evaluations are available.
Identified shortcomings should be resolved right away without waiting for the official final report, he said.
Expressing his confidence in the city’s leadership, the top leader said he believes Ha Noi will build a contingent of strong, disciplined and capable cadres to tackle complex urban challenges, preserve its millennia-old cultural identity and promote sustainable development.
