HÀ NỘI — The 12th Party Central Committee opened its third meeting in Hà Nội this morning under the chair of Party General Secretary Nguyễn Phú Trọng.

The meeting’s agenda focuses on working regulations of the party’s agencies and recommendations on high-ranking State personnel, among others. 

In his opening speech, the party chief said the working regulations of the Party Central Committee, the Politburo, the Secretariat and the Commission for Inspection should be based on the previous rules and need to be specific, cohesive and reasonable, ensuring democracy will be promoted further and discipline will be well maintained.

It was necessary to improve capacity and efficiency in the party’s leadership and promote the autonomy, creativity and responsibility of other organisations in the political system, he added.

The Party General Secretary asked Party Central Committee members to directly give feedback to draft regulations concerning inspection, supervision and enforcement of the Party Statute. 

He also underlined the importance of personnel recommendations for State agencies in 2016-2021, calling it “a crucial task”. 

At the 13th National Assembly’s 11th session held in late March and early April this year, NA deputies had elected and approved the posts of president, prime minister, NA chairperson and 34 other leaders of State agencies, introduced by the Party Central Committee at its second meeting, he said.

At the current meeting, these posts will not be re-voted, but the remaining 13 posts that have not yet been introduced to the 12th Party Central Committee’s second plenum will go through a vote before being submitted to the 14th National Assembly for consideration, election or approval at its first session.

The third plenum will continue until July 8. — VNS
