During the two-day conference, participants will discuss and give opinions on issues related to criteria for personnel assessment, titles, rotation, and appointments, as well as guidance for planning who will be assigned positions as key leaders and managers.

Measures for personnel planning at ministries, sectors and localities have been put in place, and nearly all the members of the 2010-2015 Party Standing Committees and key leaders of provincial and district People’s Councils and People’s Committees for the 2011-2016 term have been determined.

More than 95% of key People’s Council and the People’s Committee leaders and over 98% of provincial and municipal Party Standing Committee members have also been rotated to hold different positions.
