Chairing the Secretariat’s meeting on the collection of public opinions, as well as feedback from sectors and agencies at all levels regarding this work, General Secretary To Lam highlighted the importance of diversifying the forms of gathering public opinions, ensuring the promotion of democracy, and encouraging the people to contribute their feedback through the VNeID application.
The assigned agencies must gather public opinions, ensuring that all feedback is recorded in accordance with the scope of the amendments to the 2013 Constitution for reporting to the National Assembly for consideration.

Additionally, efforts must be intensified to combat false, hostile viewpoints and harmful information in cyberspace related to this work, he noted.
The Secretariat assigned the Party Committee of the National Assembly to coordinate with relevant agencies in summarizing the process of collecting public opinions after its completion to draw lessons learned for effectively implementing public consultation on major national issues in the future.
Regarding issues related to the implementation of Resolution No. 18-NQ/TW dated October 25, 2017, of the 12th Party Central Committee on continuing to reform the organizational structure of the political system for greater effectiveness, the General Secretary requested the Party Committee of the Government to focus on implementing decentralization so that local authorities, especially at the commune and provincial levels, grasp the content of management decentralization.
A fundamental change in mindset is necessary, as maintaining the old mindset of either not decentralizing or half-heartedly decentralizing will make it very difficult to work effectively, General Secretary To Lam stressed.
The Party chief emphasized the need to define decentralization as a tool to directly serve the needs of the people, create the most favorable conditions for them, and ensure that all requests from the grassroots level are effectively addressed.
