At the conference, member of the Party Central Committee, Secretary of the provincial Party Committee, Chairwoman of the provincial People's Council, Head of the provincial Delegation of National Assembly Deputies Giang Pao My emphasised that the thorough preparation of these two documents is a decisive factor for the success of the congress.

They will also provide an important basis and orientation for the provincial Party Committee to lead and direct the implementation of the province’s goals and tasks during the term.

She asked participants to uphold their knowledge and leadership experiences to contribute to the reports’ drafts; the congress’s theme and motto; the results of implementing political tasks for the 2020-2025 term in specific contents in the drafts; methods of evaluating key programmes and tasks; key target groups, key programmes, breakthroughs and key tasks for the 2025-2030 tenure.

The official said she expected that the participants will share experiences to better implement the tasks of the provincial Party Committee for the 2020-2025 term. The draft of the Political Report of the 14th provincial Party Committee consists of two main parts with three options for action guidelines and three options for key programmes.

The draft also mentions in detail some of the major and important contents of the Political Report such as general direction, and main targets for the 2025-2030 term.

Based on the requirements set forth in Directive No. 35-CT/TW of the Politburo, participants focused on discussing contents that My suggested.
