Leaders of governmental and provincial authorities
Regulation No. 144-QD/TW specifies the specific criteria and revolutionary ethical standards that cadres and party members must adhere to, meeting the requirements and revolutionary tasks in the new period. The core of implementing Regulation No. 144-QD/TW is to deeply imbue each cadre and party member with the regulation, making revolutionary ethics a characteristic and prominent feature among cadres and party members. It is a sharp weapon to overcome all challenges and temptations, pushing back against any risk of ideological, ethical, and lifestyle degradation, "self-evolution," and "self-transformation" within the Party. It promotes the construction and consolidation of ethical and cultural foundations of society, making Vietnamese culture and people a genuine internal strength, a driving force for development and protection of the country.

Mr. Luong Cuong, Central Committee member and Permanent member of the Secretariat, giving directives and concluding the conference.
Regarding Directive No. 35-CT/TW, this is an extremely important document that clearly guides the viewpoints, principles, objectives, requirements, and basic contents for preparing the congresses of grassroots party committees towards the 2025-2030 term. This directive ensures that Party committees and organizations thoroughly understand, lead, direct, specifically implement, and organize at their respective levels, ensuring consistency and unity throughout the political system.
The Politburo set forth 7 requirements for preparing and conducting the congresses of grassroots party committees for the 2025-2030 term, emphasizing the quality of documents of the congresses; forecasting situations, clearly defining strengths, development orientations, and priorities; ensuring direct and comprehensive leadership of the Party and party committees at all levels; and valuing the role and responsibilities of collective leadership and heads as regulated, ensuring high unity, cautious step-by-step processes, and solid execution.
Mr. Luong Cuong, Central Committee member and Permanent member of the Secretariat, emphasized in his directive at the conference that the conference aimed to enhance the awareness and responsibilities of Party committees, Party organizations, cadres, and party members in implementing Regulation No. 144 and Directive No. 35 of the Party Central Committee. This serves as a basis for Party committees and organizations to continue deeply grasping, widely propagating, focusing on leadership, directing, and effectively implementing the appropriate documents in accordance with functions and tasks to implement Regulations No. 144 and Directive No. 35 effectively in the coming period.
