CÀ MAU — Party General Secretary Nguyễn Phú Trọng’s remarks at the first meeting of the sub-committee on personnel affairs of the 14th National Party Congress in March have drawn special attention from officials, Party members and people in the Mekong Delta province of Cà Mau, a local official has said.

Hồ Trung Việt, head of the provincial Party Committee’s Information and Education Board, said despite many achievements, “loopholes” still remain in Party personnel affairs, especially those among senior officials, which have eroded public trust in the work.

Therefore, the Party chief’s speech is of significance to the personnel work in general and that for the 14th National Party Congress, slated for January 2026, in particular, he stressed.

The work must be carried out in a scientific, consistent, impartial and objective fashion, Việt said, noting that the political quality, morality, lifestyle, work efficiency, and reputation of cadres should be main meters basing on which nomination and appointment are done.

The Information and Education Board has asked all-level Party Committees and organisations in Cà Mau to disseminate the top leader’s instructions among officials, Party members and local residents, he continued.

Nguyễn Hoàng Đạo, Secretary of the provincial Hồ Chí Minh Communist Youth Union Committee, said young people play an important role in building a pure and strong Party and political system, adding the union and youths in Cà Mau have been upholding their responsibility towards the Party and contributing to the protection of its ideological foundation.

The sub-committee on personnel affairs and four others, covering documents, socio-economic affairs, the Party’s statutes and organisation, were established by the 13th Party Central Committee at its 8th session in October 2023 in preparation for the 14th National Congress.

The first meeting of the personnel sub-committee was held in Hà Nội on March 13 under the chair of General Secretary Trọng. — VNS
