Finalising political regime a must

Since the Doi Moi (Renewal) process was introduced in 1986, Vietnam’s political system has been gradually consolidated and finalised to support the country’s transition to socialism, and promote people’s democracy and mastery rights.

The political system works by mobilising the aggregate strength of all social strata, of which the Communist Party of Vietnam forms the political nucleus, the State is the mainstay, the Fatherland Front and other social organisations are political and socio organisations.     

Over the past eight decades, the Communist Party of Vietnam has better performed its functions and managed its operations. The role and position of a number of organisations within the political regime have been adjusted to correspond to the requirements of different periods of the revolution.

However, the system has revealed shortcomings that need to be addressed. The leadership capacity of the Party, the management efficiency of the State, and the operational efficiency of other political-social organisations has yet to meet practical requirements. A number of ranking officials fall into decadent lifestyles or lacks competence at work.

Renewing and finalizing the political system is a must for Vietnam to meet the requirements of the Renewal process, accelerate national industrialisation and modernisation, and develop the socialist-oriented market economy.

Nearly 40 presentations looked at the political system’s achievements and shortcomings and proposed solutions for finalizing the system in the near future.

Speakers proposed renewing the Party’s leadership methods for the State, Fatherland Front and political-social organisations, increasing the leadership and management capacity of all key figures in the political system, and building people’s supervisory mechanism for the State’s power.
