He said the year 2022 continues to be chosen as the "Year of discipline, responsibility, action, creativity, and development". From that work theme, the Party committees, authorities, Fatherland Front, and socio-political organizations at all levels need to continue to strengthen administrative discipline, raise awareness, responsibility, and practical efficiency, performing official duties of the cadres and Party members, especially the responsibility of the leader.
