VietNamNet Bridge – Efficient personnel planning, especially for leaders and managers, will enhance the Party's leadership role in implementing important political tasks.

Party General Secretary Nguyen Phu Trong made this remark at the Politburo's national personnel conference on the Party Central Committee (PCC)’s conclusion on reforming personnel, which opened in HCM City on August 20.

In his opening speech, Politburo member and Secretary of the Party Central Committee To Huy Rua said the conference will focus on urgent issues in Party building to realise the resolution adopted at the 4th plenum of the PCC.

Mr Rua reviewed the results, pointed out weaknesses in personnel planning and rotation, and presented six key solutions for improving the quality of personnel assessment.

Measures for personnel planning at ministries, sectors and localities have been put in place, and nearly all the members of the 2010-2015 Party Standing Committees and key leaders of provincial and district People’s Councils and People’s Committees for the 2011-2016 term have been determined.

More than 95 percent of key People’s Council and the People’s Committee leaders and over 98 percent of provincial and municipal Party Standing Committee members have also been rotated to hold different positions.

Party leader Trong asked delegates to adhere to the guidance on personnel work, which plays a crucial role in Party building and is a decisive factor for the success of the revolution.

He emphasised that personnel work should be conducted based on the principle of concentralised democracy as it is a matter of psychology, ethics, honour and conviction, which requires ensuring democracy and bringing into full play the responsibility of the individual, especially for leaders,.

During the two-day conference, participants will discuss and give opinions on issues related to criteria for personnel assessment, titles, rotation, and appointments, as well as guidance for planning who will be assigned positions as key leaders and managers.
