Meanwhile, Party building and rectification should be paid due attention to. Officials and Party members, especially those in leadership positions, should promote their exemplary spirit and sense of responsibility. Quality of task performance by governance should be promoted. Digital transformation and application of information technology should be accelerated. And civil servants and public employees’ sense of responsibility and rule obedience must be improved.

Manifestations of degradation in political ideology, ethics and lifestyle, self-evolution, and self-transformation need to be prevented. Corruption and negative phenomena must be pushed back, with a focus on promoting thrift and fighting wastefulness. The encouragement and protection of bold officials who dare to think and act for common interests must be boosted.

Mr. Lê Thành Đô, Chairman of the People’s Committee of Điện Biên Province, speaks at the event.
