The Party Politburo has pushed provinces and cities in the central region and Central Highlands and central-level agencies to speed up preparations for the National Party Congress scheduled for early next year.

Truong Tan Sang, Politburo member and permanent member of the Communist Party of Vietnam Central Committee’s Secretariat, and several other Politburo members heard elites from Binh Dinh, Dac Lac and Lam Dong provinces and Da Nang city and central-level agencies report draft resolutions of their Party committees and personnel designation for the next Party term in 2010-15 at separate meetings in Hanoi recently.

Sang praised the four localities for their success in recording double-digit economic growth last year despite global economic challenges.

Along with economic success, these provinces and cities have made great changes for better in social and cultural areas, improving the human resources and reducing the poverty rates, Sang added.

He also lauded their efforts in strengthening the political system, safeguarding the national security and broadening foreign relations.

He reminded the central province of Binh Dinh to take care of agricultural production and rural living conditions and paying attention to resettlements for farmers and narrowing the gap between the rich and the poor.

He advised the coastal province to better tap its maritime economy, intensifying investment in seafood exports and providing support for fishermen operating offshore.

In a working session with Dac Lac province, Sang pointed out its geological advantage as heart of the Central Highlands with great potential in natural resources.

The Party official called on the provincial party committee to make greater efforts in development of party members, recruiting more young, female and ethnic minority members.

The provincial Party committee should uphold the revolutionary vigilance and ensure ideological security in the new stage of development, he urged.

In regard to the Central Highlands province of Lam Dong, where the superb French-styled Da Lat mountain resort is located, Sang urged it to tap its advantages to develop tourism. He also called on the province to take care of the environment, especially for the Dong Nai river.

He praised the province for having a good composition of young and female Party members in the local Party leadership. Sang advised the provincial Party committee to expand the Party development to rural areas and enterprise circles.

In a working session with the central city of Da Nang, Sang urged the municipal Party committee to further improve its personnel capacity to meet an increasing demand for high quality human resources in the next five years.

He asked the city to resort to all means in human resource development to ensure professional, competent and ethical personnel.

“Firm measures should be taken to reform working styles and administrative procedures of the Party in an effort to improve the Party work quality,” Sang emphasised.

The Party secretary asked the Party committee of the central-level agencies to continue fulfilling the role of an advisor on the Party strategy and help Party Central Committee and the State institutionalise the Party resolutions.

He called on the Party organisation to better organise training courses and research in Party resolutions./.
