Politburo member and Permanent member of the Party Central Committee’s Secretariat Tran Cam Tu (right) meets with outstanding secretaries of grassroots Party cells nationwide in Hanoi on February 3. |
The event was also joined by some other Politburo members, secretaries, members and alternate members of the Party Central Committee, along with officials from ministries and central agencies.
After listening to the secretaries' reports, Tu underscored the meeting’s political significance, noting that it both recognized exemplary grassroots Party secretaries and reflected the Party’s strong commitment to the Party building at the grassroots level, where its policies and resolutions are put into action.
He emphasized that from the very beginning, the Party has consistently seen Party cells as its “roots,” with local Party organizations acting as the “foundation and political nucleus” at the grassroots level. He noted that the Party’s leadership, direction, and combatant strength are most clearly reflected in how efficient these cells are, as well as in the leadership, accountability, and exemplary conduct of their secretaries.
As heads of Party organizations who work closely and directly with cadres, Party members, and the people, secretaries of grassroot Party cells must demonstrate strong mettle, wisdom, credibility, and a high sense of responsibility, as well as dedication and willingness to put collective interests above all else, Tu stressed.
Quoting President Ho Chi Minh’s reminder that a Party cell secretary must be a person of prestige who can unite Party members and stay close to the people, he said the guidance remains fully relevant as the Party advances major decisions after the 14th National Congress, amid higher requirements for leadership and implementation capacity.
The meeting offered a chance to recognize and commend exemplary Party cell secretaries who represent more than 200,000 nationwide, he noted.
On behalf of the Party and State leadership, the official spoke highly of the achievements of the grassroots Party cell secretaries, stressing that regardless of their positions, sectors, or localities, they remain steadfast in the Party's ideals, absolutely loyal to the Party, and true to their word and action while serving as the driving force at the grassroots level, substantially contributing to national construction and defense.
He underscored the critical importance of the period to 2030 in realizing the strategic development goals toward the centenaries of the Party and the nation. He asked the secretaries to focus on three core tasks – improving the quality of Party cells’ activities, strengthening the leadership capacity and combatant strength of grassroots Party organizations, and reinforcing public trust in the Party.
Tu told them to engage in direct leadership, implementation and on-the-ground problem-solving at the grassroots level, reform leadership mindset and methodology, propose solutions to institutional bottlenecks, devise measures for personnel quality improvement, tighten discipline, and pro-actively prevent ideological and ethical degradation.
The secretaries must take the lead in grassroots digital transformation in line with Resolution No.57-NQ/TW; promote practical and results-oriented Party cell meetings as a political imperative; enhance democracy, criticism, and self-criticism; assign clear duties with accountability to each person; and promote examination and monitoring, thereby reinforcing solidarity, leadership capacity, and the combatant strength of grassroots Party organizations, he added.
He also requested the Party Central Committee’s Organization Commission and Party committees at all levels further improve mechanisms and policies, strengthen training and capacity building, provide timely encouragement and recognition, and ensure adequate working conditions for Party cell secretaries, especially those in remote, border, island, and disadvantaged areas.
The Permanent member acknowledged and thanked grassroots Party cell secretaries nationwide for their dedicated and often unsung contributions, expressing confidence that they will continue to uphold the trust in the Party at the grassroots level and serve as a firm mainstay for cadres, Party members, and the people.
On February 3 evening, the Organization Commission, in coordination with the Communist Review, the Nhan dan (People) Newspaper, Vietnam Television, and the Vietnam Journalists Association, will host a ceremony in Hanoi to honor outstanding Party cell secretaries and present the 10th Bua Liem Vang (Golden Hammer and Sickle) Awards 2025.
