VN Communist Party announces personnel reforms, aims for capable and virtuous officialsThe Communist Party of Viet Nam (CPV) will focus its efforts on reforms, striving towards a “contingency of officials with competence, virtue, and reputation befitting their duties.”The seventh plenary session of the 12th Central Committee of the Communist Party of Vietnam (CPV) concludes in Hanoi on May 12. Efforts would also be expended to prevent the ‘self-transformation’ and ‘self-evolution’ phenomena – terms used to refer a member’s corrupt ethics and straying from the Communist Party’s ideology. Specific goalsThe Party aims to have at least 11 scientists cum officials for every 10,000 people, with a contingency of scientists and experts in key sectors comparable to their international and regional colleagues. For local government’s leaders and officials, 15-20 per cent of provincial leaders must be under 40 years old, 25-35 per cent capable of working in international environment. The low ratio of young, female, or ethnic minority officials compared to the Party’s targets was also listed as a serious disappointment.
