According to the Hanoi municipal Party Committee, State-owned enterprises (SoEs) have recently been restructured and equitised in line with a resolution adopted at the 9^th congress of the 9^th Party Central Committee and a resolution of the 10^th National Party Congress.

By mid 2009, Hanoi had more than 1,000 Party cells in SoEs involving more than 52,000 Party members. The record suggests that Party cells in SoEs have been effective as a political nucleus, helping the SoEs to improve workers’ living standards and fulfill obligations to the State.

Participants shared their experiences in ironing out operational snags and argued that the Party should admit outstanding business employers as Party members because they have made significant contributions to national development.

They also underscored the importance of taking full advantage of information and technology to disseminate Party resolutions.
