Deputies believe that people need enthusiastic cadres ready to devote their talent and life to the country’s merciless struggle against the evil, conservativeness and corruption.

The general criteria for selecting personnel for the new executive committee include: being politically staunch, adhering to national independence and socialism, striving for a wealthy, rich, democratic, equitable, and civilized country, a strategic view and renewal-oriented thinking, being creative and highly combative, and being able to rally unity within the Party to lead the country.

Some deputies gave priority to those who dare to think, dare to do and dare to bear responsibility.

Some others highlighted the fact that the newly elected cadres should be willing to sacrifice themselves for the Party and people given the negative impacts of the market economy.

Nguyen Hoa Binh, Secretary of the Quang Ngai provincial party committee, proposed introducing more young cadres to the leadership at all levels.

The 11^th Congress has a new feature in terms of personnel work: more are nominated for both official and alternate positions in the Central Committee. There are also personnel plans for the Politburo, the Secretariat and key positions. The rate of Central Committee members under 50 years of age is set at more than 20 percent.
