preparations for the 13th-tenure Party Central Committee were among those high
on the agenda of the 13th session of the 12th-tenure Party Central Committee,
held in Hanoi from October 5 to 9.
During the session, participants scrutinised the
12th-tenure Party Central Committee’s draft political report to be submitted to
the 13th National Party Congress; the draft report reviewing the implementation
of the socio-economic development strategy for 2011-2020 and the building of a
socio-economic development strategy for 2021-2030; the draft report on the
implementation of socio-economic development tasks for 2016-2020, along with
development orientations and tasks for 2021-2025; the draft report on the Party
building and the enforcement of the Party’s statutes during the 12th tenure;
and the report on the socio-economic situation and the implementation of the
State budget plan in 2020.
Officials drafted socio-economic development and
State budget plans for 2021 and the financial-budgetary plan for 2021-2023.
They also continued making personnel preparations for the 13th-tenure Party
Central Committee and worked on some other important issues.
Party General Secretary and State President
Nguyen Phu Trong delivered opening and closing speeches of the session.
Members of the Party Central Committee discussed
and gave in-depth and valuable opinions on the draft documents to be submitted
to the 13th National Party Congress, especially debatable ones. The committee
assigned the Politburo to consider those opinions to continue fine-tuning the
drafts.
Amid big, sudden and complex changes in the
country and the world, the complicated developments of COVID-19, along with
all-level Party congresses and many major events of the country held in 2020,
participants looked into and gave in-depth and comprehensive directions on
issues relating to socio-economic development and the State budget in 2020,
2021 and 2021-2023.
They carefully considered and reached high
consensus on the Politburo’s personnel preparations while voting on candidates
for the posts of official members and alternate members of the 13th-tenure
Party Central Committee, as well as members of the committee’s Inspection
Commission in the next tenure.
Basing on opinions raised at this session and
its outcomes, the Politburo will direct the continuation of the completion of
personnel plans so that the plans will be reported to the Party Central
Committee for consideration before being submitted to the 13th National Party
Congress.
The Party Central Committee also nominated
candidates for the posts of Minister of Science and Technology and Minister of
Health so that necessary procedures will be carried out to submit the
candidacies to the National Assembly for approval.
At this session, the Party Central Committee
called on the entire Party, people and army to strengthen solidarity, cohere
thought and actions, and exert efforts to overcome difficulties and challenges,
address impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, achieve the best possible results of
socio-economic development in 2020 and the resolution of the 12th National
Party Congress, and continue to successfully organise Party congresses towards
the 13th National Party Congress./.
