Da Nang (VNA) – As of the end of August, 2020,16 Party organisations under the Party Committee of the central city of Da Nanghad completed the organisation of their congresses for the 2020-2025 tenure,through which many valuable lessons have been taken.

The most important lesson is to thoroughly popularise andstrictly implement guiding documents on the organisation of Party congresses atall levels, thus creating consensus in awareness among member of Partycommittees and Party members.

The plans and guidelines for the congress organisation shouldbe built carefully and specifically, while difficulties and obstacles arisingduring the implementation of the plans must be timely discussed and solved.

Meanwhile, the congress agenda should be made suitable tothe conditions of each Party organisation.

At the same time, collectives and individuals assigned withspecific tasks must show activeness and creativeness in giving advice andproposals to the organising board, while unity is ensured in the implementationof the work.

Another lesson learnt from the local Party congressorganisation is to ensure wide coverage of communication activities for thecongress among officials, Party members and community, while timely guiding thepublic opinion, and strengthening inspection over the implementation of theguiding documents and preparations of the congress.

According to Standing Deputy Secretary of the Da Nang PartyCommittee Do Van Quang, the role of the Presidium and supporting teams issignificant. They must thoroughly grasp relevant documents and issues relatedto the election regulations, vote counting as well as activities of delegatesand the whole congress. This will ensure the congress follows the plannedscenario.

He said that Da Nang has implemented flexible solutions toensure the progress of preparations and organisation of Party congresses at alllevels amidst the social distancing due to COVID-19 pandemic in line withdirections of the Party Central Committee, especially in the context that thepandemic is hitting the city.

Quang noted that the municipal Party Committee has proposedthe Party Central Committee consider the adjustments of guiding documents forthe implementation of the Party Charter and the voting regulations in the Partyto ensure coherence, along with more detail guidelines on the voting to approvethe nominee lists.

The Da Nang Party Organisation has 16 organisations underthe municipal Party Committee, including seven at district level. The city has530 local Party organisations with 59,093 Party members.

The organisation of the 13thNational Party Congress is among major politic activities of Vietnam in 2020,which has drawn special attention of the whole politicalsystem.
