In May 1947, at the Viet Bac base (Quang Nap commune, Dinh Hoa district, now Binh Thanh commune, Thai Nguyen province), the Party Central Committee decided to establish the Party Central Committee Standing Office (now the Party Central Committee Office), appointing comrade Le Van Luong as Secretary of the Office. In June 1949, at the Viet Bac base, the Central Committee convened a National Office Conference and passed an important resolution, identifying the basic issues of Party Committee office work such as: Principles and forms of organization, working style, working relationships; position, functions, tasks, powers, organizational structure, and staff of the Party Central Committee Office and Party Committee offices at all levels. This was a milestone that laid the fundamental foundation for the activities of the Party Central Committee Office and Party Committee offices at all levels.

Head of the Party Central Office Pham Gia Tuc emphasized that, looking back at 95 years of construction and development, the activities of the Party Central Office and Party Committee offices are always closely associated with the glorious history of the Communist Party of Vietnam, with the activities of the Party Central Executive Committee, the Politburo, the Secretariat, senior Party leaders and leaders of Party committees at all levels. Generations of cadres of the Party Central Office and Party Committee Offices have overcome countless hardships and challenges, are ready to sacrifice their blood and bones, are loyal to the Party, always stick to and complete their tasks, and make a very important contribution to maintaining connections, ensuring the leadership and direction of the Party Central Committee, of Uncle Ho, and of Party Committees at all levels, leading the country to overcome countless difficulties, "rise up from the mud and shine" to gain independence and freedom for the Fatherland, conduct resistance wars against invaders, unify the country, build and firmly defend the Fatherland and are entering a new era, an era of national growth with the goal of becoming a rich, powerful, civilized nation, with prosperous and happy people.

After 95 years of construction and development, with its achievements and feats, the Party Central Office has been awarded the Gold Star Medal by the Party and the State; the Office of the Party Committee of Zone 5 and the Finance and Trade Department of the Party Committee of Zone 5 were awarded the title of Hero of the People's Armed Forces; many other noble titles have been awarded to collectives and individuals of the Party Central Office...

The Party Central Office has thoroughly grasped and implemented the Party and State's policies on emulation and commendation; organized many emulation movements among cadres, civil servants, public employees and workers according to Uncle Ho's teachings: "Emulation is patriotism, patriotism requires emulation". The emulation movements in the Party Central Office have taken place enthusiastically, continuously, practically, with great influence, attracting the voluntary and active participation of a large number of cadres, party members, civil servants, public employees and workers in the agency, contributing significantly to the successful completion of assigned political tasks, further enhancing the tradition: "Absolute loyalty, solidarity, creativity, dedication, thoughtfulness, upholding working principles" of the Party Central Office. From those emulation movements, many typical and advanced collectives and individuals with outstanding achievements have emerged, and have been commended and rewarded.

Concise advice - right job - right time - easy to implement

Speaking at the Commemoration Ceremony, General Secretary To Lam affirmed that over the past 95 years, countless Party Committee office staff have sacrificed, endured hardships, upheld principles, maintained discipline, and taken on the difficult tasks to ensure the smooth running of the Party's work. There are contributions not mentioned in documents but are imprinted in the quality of decisions; there are many sleepless nights, many Sundays and holidays still working, there are times of "sprinting" before "G-hour" to ensure an official dispatch is issued on time, a document is born on time, a conference is successful, a policy is put into practice...

Entering the digital era, digital society, digital economy, requiring the Party Committee office system to shift from "manual process" to "digital process", from "distributed paperwork" to "unified, interconnected, secure data", from "habit of handling cases" to "management by results", the General Secretary requested the Party Central Office to act in three major directions: Early and comprehensive digitalization of the life cycle of documents and work records; digital signature - digital calendar - digital assignment - digital report; building a standard shared data warehouse, ensuring security - safety - sustainability. Standardizing the process according to the principle of "one entry - many uses", shortening processing time, fast and accurate retrieval; taking the satisfaction level of agencies and people as a measure. Developing digital capacity for office staff in data skills, information security, and synthetic analysis; Combine iron discipline with soft creativity to advise concisely - on the right thing - on time - easy to execute.

The General Secretary requested that the Party Central Office carry out 6 tasks: it needs to play the role of "conductor", set an exemplary example for the entire system of Party Committee offices and offices of the entire political system. When providing strategic advice to the Party Central Executive Committee, the Politburo, and the Secretariat, it is necessary to clearly state the problem, state the correct plan, state sufficient resources, state the roadmap, and clearly state responsibilities. Build unified professional standards from the Central to the grassroots level: model documents, standardize processes, measure time - quality - cost; provide regular training and development for cadres. Build a culture of quality in work and documents. Build a culture of setting an example: leaders and managers must combine words with actions, comply with information discipline, keep documents confidential, respect the truth; promote the spirit of cooperation between the advisory bodies of the Party and the State. In the coming time, the Party Central Office needs to prepare well for the work serving the 14th National Congress of the Party.
