Speaking at the workshop, Permanent Vice Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee Ha Sy Dong requested the delegates participating in the workshop to clarify the theoretical and scientific basis of public service ethics, especially linking public service ethics with revolutionary ethics, especially the public service ethics values ​​that were pointed out by sharp theories and practical experiences by President Ho Chi Minh, and at the same time determine the responsibility of the team of cadres, civil servants and public employees (CBCCVC) in the process of exercising public power.

Clarifying the nature and content of the PCI, PAR Index, SIPAS, PAPI indexes; especially clarifying how public ethics affect the indexes and the interactions between the PAR Index, SIPAS, PAPI indexes and the PCI index...

At the same time, it is necessary to properly assess the current status of implementation, the results achieved as well as the limitations and difficulties in the implementation of public ethics in particular and administrative reform in general. Based on the results of the indicators (especially low indicators), appropriate and practical solutions should be proposed to contribute to raising awareness and sense of responsibility of civil servants and public employees regarding public ethics, contributing to improving the above indicators.

Along with that, the discussions and speeches at the workshop must closely follow the requirements and topics of the workshop, have scientific basis, and contribute to solving practical problems. The workshop also needs to maximize the opinions, debates, criticisms, and participation of the delegates attending the workshop because this is an important scientific basis and information that helps the provincial leaders better direct the administrative reform work in the province in the coming time.

Standing Vice Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee Ha Sy Dong requested the Department of Planning and Investment, the Department of Home Affairs and other departments, branches and sectors, according to their functions and tasks, to absorb the solutions, arrange priorities to propose to the Provincial People's Committee specific actions, creating a breakthrough in the province's administrative reform program in 2024 and the following years, thereby improving the province's ranking, towards the goal set out in Resolution No. 01-NQ/TU dated November 4, 2021 of the Provincial Party Committee.

According to the results announced by the central government in April 2023, although the PCI, PAR Index, SIPAS and PAPI indexes of the province in 2022 improved in terms of scores, most of them decreased in rankings compared to 2021. In particular, the PCI index in 2022 ranked 59/63 provinces and cities (down 18 places compared to 2021).

With that result, without positive solutions, the province will find it difficult to achieve the specific goals set out in Resolution No. 01-NQ/TU dated November 4, 2021 of the Provincial Party Committee. This scientific workshop is organized to clarify the theory and practice of the relationship between public service ethics of civil servants and improving the PCI, PAR Index, SIPAS, and PAPI indicators of the province to implement the administrative reform goals for the 2021-2030 period of the province.

The workshop received 24 presentations on the scientific basis for building revolutionary ethical standards for cadres and party members; the current status of PCI, PAR Index, PAPI, SIPAS in the province; a number of solutions for each field to improve PCI, PAR Index, SIPAS, PAPI in the period of 2023-2025 and the following years.
