Secretary of the Ho Chi Minh City Party Committee also highlighted that this congress marks a significant shift in mindset and awareness. It fully leverages information technology in its organization to save time and costs, eliminating the distribution of printed materials to delegates. All congress content and programs will be accessible via a digital congress platform.
Regarding discussions on central and city documents, Mr. Quang noted that the city’s documents have been meticulously, rigorously, and scientifically prepared, with broad input gathered through multiple conferences and widely disseminated via media to collect feedback from all city residents.
According to the Secretary of the Ho Chi Minh City Party Committee, the documents have been comprehensively and profoundly reviewed by the collective leadership of the Politburo. The Document Subcommittee, the Standing Committee, and the Executive Board of the City Party Committee have synthesized, seriously absorbed, and refined the documents through six drafts before submission to the congress.
To enhance the quality of discussions at the congress, Secretary Tran Luu Quang urged delegates to thoroughly study the materials to provide high-quality contributions and actively participate in the discussion sessions.
