HANOI, Oct. 11 (Xinhua) -- The 12th Communist Party of Vietnam Central Committee wrapped up its sixth meeting on Wednesday in Hanoi capital, emphasizing the importance of renewing and rearranging the apparatus of the political system towards a streamlined one with efficient and effective operation, highlighting this as a fundamental and urgent task to build and re-organize the party.
The political system should be reformed to meet the requirements of developing the socialist-oriented market economy and integrating globally, Vietnam News Agency reported on Wednesday.
It is necessary to build a competitive, overt and transparent mechanism in the recruitment, appointment and promotion of officials to attract moral and competent ones to work for organizations of the political system, the committee stressed.
Building a mechanism to strictly oversee power by legal regulations, promoting accountability, and severely punishing violators, especially heads of institutions, are equally important, the committee affirmed.
The committee also stressed the need to improve the quality and operational efficiency of public service institutions.
The State must ensure the provision of basic and essential public services and increase the access to public services for people from walks of life, it said.
Apart from re-arranging and reforming structure and operation of public service institutions, it is crucial to promote social investment in public services without commercialization, it added.
Communist Party of Vietnam Central Committee General Secretary Nguyen Phu Trong summed up key outcomes of the meeting, including socioeconomic performance for 2017-2018, protection and improvement of people's health, population work in the new situation, renewal in the organization of the political system's apparatus, renovation of public administrative units and personnel work.
In his closing speech, Trong said priority should be given to fine-tuning mechanisms to further improve the business climate, improve the efficiency of state-owned enterprises, public administrative units and especially the private sector.
The committee affirmed that mechanisms and policies will be tailored to improve health care and services regarding protection and improvement of people's health, ensuring that every citizen will be equal in their rights and obligations in health insurance coverage and related services.
The committee also consented to improve the operation efficiency of state medical establishments by facilitating public-private partnership and build a widespread medical system with streamlined and efficient operations.
Speaking highly of important results of population work -- family planning over the past years, the committee suggested that population policy should shift from family planning to population and development.
The campaign encouraging each married couple to have two children should be further spread to ensure that there are nearly 104 million people nationwide by 2030.
The committee elected two additional members to its Secretariat and considered the execution of disciplinary measures against Nguyen Xuan Anh, who is a member of the committee and Secretary of the Party Committee of central Da Nang city.
Trong assured that any violations will be strictly dealt with from now on to ensure the party's discipline and reinforce people's trust.
