Also attending were Mr. Nguyen Thanh Nhan, Standing Deputy Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee, Chairman of the Provincial People’s Council, and Secretary of the Party Committee of Provincial Party Agencies; Ms. Tran Thi Thanh Huong, Deputy Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee, Head of the Provincial National Assembly Delegation, and Chairwoman of the Vietnam Fatherland Front Committee of An Giang Province, along with members of the Provincial Party Standing Committee, Provincial Party Executive Committee, and former provincial leaders.

In his opening speech, Mr. Nguyen Thanh Nhan emphasized that the 1st Congress of the Party Committee of An Giang Provincial Party Agencies not only summarizes and sets orientations for the coming term, but also represents the will, aspirations, intelligence, and faith of all cadres and Party members working in the advisory and assisting agencies of the Provincial Party Committee. He affirmed the spirit of solidarity, unity, continuity, and development, with determination to build the Party Committee of Provincial Party Agencies to be truly clean and strong, worthy of the trust of the Provincial Party and the People.

The Congress adopted the theme: “Building a clean, strong, united, and unified Party Committee; enhancing the pioneering and exemplary role of cadres and Party members; developing civilized, modern agencies and organizations; and effectively meeting tasks in the new development phase.” The key goal is to strengthen leadership capacity, improve the fighting strength of Party organizations, and promote the exemplary role of cadres and Party members.

Leaders, cadres, Party members, civil servants, public employees, and workers must strictly comply with the Party’s guidelines and policies, and the State’s laws, successfully fulfilling political tasks and contributing to the effective implementation of the Resolution of the Party Committee of Provincial Party Agencies for the 2025–2030 term and the Resolution of the 12th Provincial Party Congress. Political and ideological education, inspection, supervision, and mass mobilization must be strengthened, along with the effective promotion of the “Skillful Mass Mobilization” movement. Political and social organizations should be consolidated to become stronger, actively participating in Party and government building with effectiveness.

Specific targets include: ensuring that over 90% of grassroots Party organizations fulfill their tasks well; over 95% of Party members complete their tasks well; admitting at least 60 new Party members; and attracting at least 60% of eligible individuals into political and social organizations. The Party Committee also aims for more than 98% of Party members and over 95% of civil servants and public employees to effectively study and grasp Party guidelines and resolutions. Additionally, 100% of Party organizations and Party members must study and follow the ideology, morality, and style of Ho Chi Minh, the Party Central Committee’s Resolution No. 4 (11th and 12th tenures), and the Politburo’s Conclusion No. 21-KL/TW.

Along with that, the Party Committee strives to organize at least one annual political theory training class for prospective Party members, at least one annual class for new Party members, and two professional training courses for grassroots Party committee members within the Provincial Party Agencies. On average, more than 90% of Party members should attend cell meetings; 85% of grassroots Party organizations should develop exemplary “Skillful Mass Mobilization” models; and 100% of grassroots Party organizations must register and implement mass mobilization activities.

In his address, Secretary Nguyen Tien Hai acknowledged, praised, and congratulated the Party Committee of Provincial Party Agencies for its achievements in recent years. He also required Party committees and each delegate to uphold the highest sense of responsibility to the Party, to set an example in practicing self-criticism and criticism, and to clearly analyze the causes and responsibilities of Party committees and key cadres at each level in leadership, direction, and implementation. On this basis, he urged the development of guidelines and measures to overcome limitations and shortcomings.

To meet the demands of the new situation, Secretary Nguyen Tien Hai requested that the Party Committee of Provincial Party Agencies continue strengthening Party building in terms of politics, ideology, organization, and ethics. It must firmly safeguard the Party’s ideological foundation and resolutely prevent manifestations of “self-evolution” and “self-transformation.”

He emphasized promoting the exemplary role of Party committee members and leaders, especially in political responsibility, working style, and public service ethics. Self-criticism and criticism must be strictly implemented, associated with studying and following the ideology, morality, and style of President Ho Chi Minh and President Ton Duc Thang, and linked with the annual evaluation of cadres.

Secretary Nguyen Tien Hai proposed that the Party Committee strongly innovate leadership methods, improve the quality of grassroots Party organizations, and build genuinely effective “Four-Good” Party cells and Party committees. He stressed strengthening focused inspections and supervision, strictly handling violations while promptly encouraging exemplary models and best practices.

He also called for accelerating digital transformation in Party work and political tasks, building a “Model Digital Transformation Party Committee” associated with administrative reform, and applying modern information technology and digital tools to meet leadership and management requirements, from information synthesis to Party member management and cell activities. He encouraged proactiveness and innovation in research, advisory work, and policy proposals, with strategic vision, accurate trend forecasting, and long-term development orientation for the province.

The Party Committee of Provincial Party Agencies must formulate specific programs and solutions to enhance the exemplary role, responsibility, and work effectiveness of Party members across the entire Provincial Party. It should provide timely and effective advice to the Provincial Party Standing Committee and the Provincial Party Executive Committee on comprehensive leadership, particularly Party building, political system strengthening, cadre work, legislation, communication, and mass mobilization.

Party committees must proactively lead and direct the implementation of tasks comprehensively and effectively, according to their assigned functions. Coordination between Party bodies, government, and localities must be strengthened. In particular, close ties with the People are essential, along with improving mass mobilization work, citizen engagement, and dialogue with the People.

He emphasized the supervisory and feedback role of the People’s Council, the Fatherland Front, and socio-political organizations in building the Party and government. Each agency within the Party Committee of Provincial Party Agencies must serve as an effective bridge between the Party and the People.

Secretary Nguyen Tien Hai required that immediately after the Congress, the Party Committee of Provincial Party Agencies review, evaluate, arrange, and consolidate personnel to meet the requirements of the new situation. It must proactively establish working regulations, action programs, and annual work plans to successfully implement the Resolution of the Congress, the Resolution of the Provincial Party Congress, and the Resolution of the 14th National Party Congress, in the spirit of “clear people, clear tasks, clear timelines, clear responsibilities, clear authority, and clear results.”

At the same time, the Party Committee will thoroughly study, disseminate, and widely communicate the Congress Resolution, while strongly launching emulation movements among cadres, Party members, and workers to ensure the Resolution is promptly put into practice, creating clear and tangible changes from the very first year of the term.

The Congress announced the decision of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee appointing 34 members to the Executive Committee of the Party Committee of Provincial Party Agencies, including 11 members of the Standing Committee and 7 members of the Inspection Committee. Nguyen Thanh Nhan, Standing Deputy Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee and Chairman of the Provincial People’s Council, was appointed Secretary of the Party Committee of An Giang Provincial Party Agencies for the 2025–2030 term./.
