In an interview with VietNamNet before the 12th National Party Congress, deputy head of the National Assembly delegation of the northern port city of Hai Phong – Mr. Tran Ngoc Vinh - said that the Party Central Committee has thoughtfully prepared the personnel tasks, under a strict process.

Mr. Tran Ngoc Vinh.

He personally expected that the upcoming Congress would choose talented people with the long-term vision to develop the country, to maintain independence and freedom and to improve the people's living standards.

"We need to select the people who are able to address the pressing problems of the society today, particularly corruption, problems of organizational apparatus, especially the attitude of the civil servants to the people," said Mr. Vinh.

The people are keeping an eye and have high hope for the upcoming Congress because the selected people are not only the staff of the Party but they are also very important for the people and the country. Thus, how can people contribute their opinion to the Party’s personnel tasks?

It is difficult to say about the people in common. We should say about the people who have direct connection to the selected officials because only these people know clearly about the selected officials. Such people are the ones who live in the same areas or work in the same organizations with the officials.

There are other channels that are objective, such as the media. However, I think the most important channel is the people who live and work with the selected officials. I’m sure that the people are the most accurate channel.

Through the party congresses at all levels, some young faces have emerged, creating new energy to the personnel tasks of the Party. What do you think about this trend?

I think the young age is not the most important factor. They are young but they must have enough experience at work. They must hold different positions at state agencies at the grassroots levels for at least two years to learn some experience from the fact.

Although they are young or not, once they are assigned important positions in the next term, they must be capable to solve the urgent issues of the people’s concerns.

Most of the young officials today have new thinking and are trained overseas. It is the best if we can choose the good seeds to sow on the fertile and appropriate soil. If the good seeds are sowed on the unsuitable soil, even if the seeds can grow into trees, those trees cannot be green and well develop.

Most importantly, to know about officials, we must listen to the people’s opinion.
