Ninh Binh (VNA) - Residents and representatives from businesses in Ninh Binh province have highly valued the content of the draft documents for the 14th National Party Congress, stressing that they highlight the Party’s central role in providing comprehensive leadership for the country.

Giving her opinions to the draft documents, Tran Thi Loan, General Director of Ha Nam Ninh Food JSC, said she is deeply impressed with the draft documents, particularly the sections emphasising the creation of favourable and safe environment for private enterprises to gain equal access to and effectively use resources; expand production and business; diversify markets; build and develop brands; and promote research, technological application, and innovation.

This, she said, helps strengthen trust, consolidate momentum, and fuel the aspirations of the private sector in the time ahead. However, Loan stressed that the Party and the State should take stronger measures to accelerate administrative reform, improve laws and policies to encourage private economic development, and strictly supervise grassroots implementation to prevent the situation of “enthusiasm at the top but indifference at the bottom.”

Loan underscored the need to shift from an administrative management model to a service-oriented and development-facilitating administration that places people and businesses at its centre.

State administration must genuinely serve the public to foster creativity, effort, and dedication among entrepreneurs and enterprises, she said, calling for breakthrough measures to support start-ups and ensure the private sector competes on an equal footing with other economic sectors in accessing business opportunities, thereby enabling people and businesses to operate freely in all legally permitted sectors.

Bui Ngoc Hanh, Head of the Party Building Board of the Party Committee of Ly Thuong Kiet ward, spoke highly of the spirit of innovation, intellect, and strategic vision reflected in the draft documents, noting that contents related to Party building and rectification clearly affirm the Party’s central role in comprehensively leading the nation.

Defining the goal of building a clean, strong, and comprehensive Party is a key task crucial to the country’s sustainable development, he said, stressing that the draft documents also embody the spirit of “self-reflection and self-correction” and a candid approach to acknowledging the truth.

However, Hanh pointed out that the draft documents have yet to clearly outline solutions for renewing the Party’s leadership methods in the digital transformation era, nor do they sufficiently highlight the application of technology in management, supervision, and personnel work.

He suggested that Party building in terms of ideology and theory should include measures to enhance the thinking capacity and political resilience of cadres and Party members in the context of globalisation and digital transformation, while safeguarding the Party’s ideological foundation

Regarding organisational structure and personnel, it is necessary to clarify the roadmap for streamlining the apparatus and avoiding overlapping functions; define the responsibilities of leaders when Party organisations are weak.

Hanh also stressed the importance of establishing mechanisms to publicly disclose the results of Party inspection, supervision, and disciplinary actions to build trust among cadres, Party members, and the people, while expanding channels for collecting public feedback via digital platforms and local consultation systems to ensure that all opinions are heard and addressed./.
