Military Region 5’s Party Committee aligns the implementation of the Directive 05 with the Party building and rectification

To make the Military Region’s Party Committee politically, ideologically, organizationally and morally strong and its armed forces comprehensively strong, the Military Region 5’s Party Committee and High Command have synchronously taken measures, the centrepiece of which is to align the implementation of the 12th Politburo’s Directive 05 on “studying and following Ho Chi Minh’s thought, morality and lifestyle” with the Party building and rectification.

To form a close alignment, the Military Region’s Party Committee and Command have focused on the ideological, political and organizational work. In terms of contents, the Military Region has incorporated the requirements of the Directive 05 into the Party building and rectification. In this regard, priority has been given to promoting the pioneering, exemplary role of cadres and party members, particularly key ones; improving the quality of party cell meetings; enhancing the effectiveness of the party and political work; overcoming weak points to create a massive change in awareness, responsibility, working style and task performance of organizations and individuals, particularly party committees and organizations and commanders. Concerning the method, party committees and organizations have directly led this work via resolutions, operated under the regulations while commanders and mass organizations have developed the action plans. This work must be conducted in a scientific, comprehensive, synchronous manner with proper, focalized steps in accordance with each unit’s particularities, task and function to promote the synergy of every organization and force. In the realm of form, there is a need for the diversity of forms via all-level revolutionary action movements, such as the Campaign “promoting tradition, devoting talent, deserving to be Uncle Ho’s soldiers” and the Determined to Win emulation movement characterized by standards, criteria and daily actions of each cadre and party member and the masses. At the same time, it is necessary to adhere to the principle of democratic centralism and the mottos “superiors first, inferiors later” and “the studying must be associated with the following” via specific deeds; to encourage the exemplary role of cadres and party members, particularly the key ones. Moreover, party committees at all levels should enhance the work of inspection and supervision, eliminate “achievement disease”, formalism, and bureaucracy, and resolutely fight against, prevent and repel the degradation in political ideology, morality and lifestyle as well as the signs of “self-evolution” and “self-transformation” from within.

Upholding that spirit, the resolutions on leading the annual task by the Military Region’s Party Committee all stress that the implementation of the Directive 05 must be aligned with the Party building and rectification to ensure the Military Region’s Party Committee is always politically, ideologically, morally and organizationally strong. Accordingly, the Military Region’s Party Committee has formulated the Plan 04-KH/ĐU which clarifies the goals, requirements, contents, targets and measures for the implementation process within the Military Region’s Party Committee and armed forces. At the same time, it has directed party committees to consolidate the assisting groups and complete working regulations and criteria for self-improvement of party organizations and members and cadres. On such basis, party committees and organizations have included the implementation of the Directive 05 in the program to implement the resolution of party congresses at all levels and in the regular meetings of party committees and cells and mass organizations. Criteria must consist of the implementation of the Directive 05, the Party building and rectification, and major drives by the Party, State, Military and localities. As for the Military Region’s offices, their party committees must focus on improving the quality of giving advice to the Military Region’s Party Committee and High Command on building plans, directing, guiding and inspecting the implementation process. Provincial-level military offices should concentrate on giving sound advice to local party committees and authorities on local defence-military work, with importance attached to building potential and posture of the defensive zone and improving the synergy of local armed forces. As far as infantry divisions are concerned, focuses of the leadership have been placed on maintaining the order, time limits, procedures and regulations for training and combat readiness; overcoming difficulties, making a breakthrough in new, difficult task, improving the quality of discipline management, and regularity and barracks building. Regarding technical units, their party committees have renewed the methods to manage, use and master materiel, particularly modern one, taken the initiative in building the defensive zones, and well conducted the Campaign “Managing and exploiting weapons and equipment effectively, sustainably, safely and economically, and Traffic safety”. Economic-defence units have set up the criteria for “the enhanced quality and efficiency of production and business”, combined production with defence-security, international missions and the building of border of peace, friendship, stability and development. Schools and hospitals have closely followed  the motto “3 reals” (real teaching, real learning, real examination”, well implemented the movements “good teaching, learning and serving”, built up the image of military medical soldiers “expert at technical competence and exemplary in medical ethics”, and accelerated the movement “Military medical soldiers follow Uncle Ho’s teachings”.

To achieve the unity of awareness among cadres, party members and the masses and heighten their responsibility for studying, training and striving under the preset criteria, the Military Region’s Party Committee and Command have directed all-level party committees and commanders to encourage propagation and education concerning the position, importance, contents, and new points of the Directive 05 and the Resolutions of the Party Central Committee’s 4th Plenum and 7th Plenum on the personnel work. Annually, the Military Region and its unit all organize courses to study special topics under the regulations of the General Department of Politics with the participation of 100% of cadres, party members and the masses. After each course, each person write the achievement test and register the criteria for the studying and following of Uncle Ho’s thought, morality and lifestyle in accordance with their assigned function and task. A part from training courses for key cadres at all levels, the Military Region’s Party Committee has directed the Military Region’s Military School, provinces and cities to include the contents of the Directive 05 and the Resolution of the Party Central Committee’s 4th Plenum in the curriculum; its offices, such as Museum, Library, Newspaper-Television, Ensemble as well as units to develop special columns and topics and programs to disseminate Ho Chi Minh’s life, cause, thought, morality and lifestyle and the achievements in the Party building to troops and people. Offices and units have held dialogues and knowledge contests while promoting the role of the system of grass-roots level cultural institutions and maintaining the order for meetings and weekly, monthly news briefing to render troops full aware of the contents, particularly the following of Uncle Ho’s example. Up to now, 100% of cadres, party members and the masses from the Military Region’s armed forces have fully understood that the studying and following Ho Chi Minh’s thought, morality and lifestyle represent a basic, long-term, and urgent measure to build and promote the virtues of “Military Region 5’s soldiers – Uncle Ho’s soldiers” as well as pure, strong party organizations and comprehensively strong units.

Besides, party committees and commanders at all levels have asked all cadres, party members and the masses to write the commitment to realizing the registered criteria. The personal commitment must be short, clear, and in accordance with function and task of the collective and individual position and responsibility. Focuses of the commitment should be placed on renewing the leading and commanding style, improving political zeal, knowledge, morality and lifestyle, implementing the Determined to Win emulation movement and the Campaign “promoting tradition, devoting talent, deserving to be Uncle Ho’s soldiers”, actively fighting against, preventing and repelling the degradation in political ideology, morality and lifestyle as well as the signs of “self-evolution” and “self-transformation” from within. On a periodic basis, collectives and individuals report the results, unfinished things and reasons to higher echelons and their party committee and organization. And the higher echelon would suggest the following points in self-improvement and take the results as an important basis for assessing the task performance of collectives and individuals.

The Military Region’s Party Committee has determined to make a massive change in the working style of party committees and key cadres as a breakthrough in the implementation of the Directive 05 in line with the Party building and rectification. Accordingly, party committee members and key cadres must proactively study and follow Uncle Ho’s way of thinking, scientific, democratic working method and manners. During their work, it is necessary to strictly implement the principle of democratic centralism, encourage self-criticism and criticism, and express the modesty and can-do attitude. At the same time, it is important to take the exercise of democracy among party committees and commanders as a breakthrough and top criterion for raising the proactiveness, solidarity and responsibility and assessing the task performance of the party committee and its members. The Military Region’s Party Committee and Command have ordered key cadres at all levels to stay close to all operations of their unit, grasp troops’ thought and expectations, and match their words with action. On a periodic basis, each party committee member and key cadre must review the alignment between the implementation of the Directive 05 and the responsibility for building the Party and the unit, honestly and frankly point out weaknesses and propose measures to overcome those weaknesses, thereby creating a new motivation for building pure, strong party organization and comprehensively strong unit.

The alignment between the implementation of the Directive 05 and the Party building and rectification within the Military Region 5’s Party Committee has initially produced positive results and greatly contributed to making a change in the quality of the implementation of military and defence missions in the area. Those results have allowed “the Military Region 5’s soldiers – Uncle Ho’s soldiers” to deserve the Party, State and people’s faith and the tradition “Being self-reliant, overcoming difficulties, ingeniously, creatively, bravely fighting to win glorious victories”.
