Accordingly, the arrangement and establishment of Party organisations must be synchronised, unified, and corresponding to the arrangement and establishment of villages and residential areas, ensuring suitability with the two-tiered local government model and the practical realities of each locality, thereby contributing to streamlining the organisational structure, enhancing the leadership capacity and fighting strength of grassroots Party organisations, and improving the effectiveness and efficiency of the political system at the grassroots level.
Establishing Party organisations and developing personnel plans in villages and residential areas after the arrangement is an important political task that requires strict and decisive leadership and guidance according to the set schedule and requirements; Promoting democracy goes hand in hand with upholding the responsibility of Party committees, branches, and cadres and Party members on the basis of objectivity, transparency, solidarity, unity, and consensus after restructuring; resolutely overcoming individualism, parochialism, localism, “group interests”, and a lack of constructive thinking.
Personnel work must adhere to the regulations of the Party and the State, ensuring a reasonable age structure while balancing continuity with the need to rejuvenate leadership. Selected personnel must fully meet the standards, with particular emphasis on political qualities, moral conduct, reputation, health, accountability, qualifications, leadership capacity, and the ability to unite and mobilise the people.
Priorities include focusing on young people with innovative thinking who dare to think, dare to act, and dare to take responsibility, as well as those who have management capacity, scientific and technological expertise, and proficiency in digital transformation. Special attention is given to remote, isolated, and particularly difficult areas with a large number of ethnic minorities and religious groups, as well as areas of special importance for national security and defence.
The names of the new village and neighbourhood Party branches are derived from the names in the resolution of the People’s Council of the commune or ward, or the decision of the People’s Committee of the special zone on the arrangement and establishment of villages and neighbourhoods. For villages and neighbourhoods not subject to arrangement but undergoing a name change, a decision to change the name of the Party branch will be issued.
It has been agreed to pilot the term of office for village and neighbourhood Party branches at five years, applicable to both newly established Party branches after arrangement and Party branches not subject to arrangement. The term of office is calculated according to the term of office of the directly superior Party committee, which is the 2025-2030 term.
