“Unqualified officials, if chosen to the leadership, would be disaster for the Party and do harm to the country and people,” the president has said in an article about the personnel preparation for the 13th National Party Congress that is slated for 2021.
Accordingly, members of the CPV’s Central Committee must be endowed with both talent and ethic in which ethic prevails over talent. “Heart is worthwhile thrice the talent,” the president quoted a verse by great Vietnamese poet Nguyen Du as saying.
The president showed his perspective in answering a question on how to select right people for high positions for the next term.
Big problems
Mr. Trong expressed concerns about both abundance and shortage of high-profile personnel, explaining that good and qualified leaders, managers, scientists, and experts remain in shortage while the number of unqualified state employees exceeds the actual demand.
“Corruption” and “vested interests” which are threats to the country would result from individuals who are thirsty for power.
In addition, people who have quickly become wealthy with lots of land, property, and assets of dubious origin as well as those who are dishonest in declaring assets and those who have inappropriate lifestyle could not be selected to the CPV’s Central Committee, the president warned.
Mr. Trong heads the Committee for Personnel and the Committee for Political Documents in the run-up to the upcoming congress.
He emphasized that it’s important to build a united and capable Central Committee that can support the leaders in running the country.
The current Central Committee has 200 members, including 20 on the alternative list.
