Calling for all officials and Party members’ clear awareness of their own responsibility in this national revolution, General Secretary Lam underlined the need for concerted awareness and actions among the community in completing all tasks and targets in the resolution, along with unity and close coordination in execution across ministries and localities in the work.
The proposal is of historic significance, not only in terms of restructuring administrative units and civil employees, but also in decentralising power, re-arranging administrative boundaries, allocating resources, and redesigning development spaces, with the aim of bringing the administration closer to the people, better serving the people, and opening up a new complexion for national development, with a long-term vision for at least 100 years.
He said that the Party Central Committee reached broad agreement on proposals concerning the continued restructuring of the political system’s organisational apparatus, rearranging administrative units and organising local administrations with provincial and communal levels.
Within just the first 15 days of March - the month marking the commencement of the new organisational apparatus - a series of swift, decisive, and practical national and social policy decisions were made, demonstrating a firm commitment to the principles of ensuring an “elite, streamlined, strong, efficient, valid and effective” newly-formed system.
Permanent Deputy Prime Minister Nguyen Hoa Binh provided further details on the Government’s proposal, which involves transferring about one-third of the responsibilities currently handled by district-lev administrations to provincial authorities, while decentralising the remaining two-thirds to the commune-level administrations.
Requesting the province to double its achievements in 2025, National Assembly (NA) Chairman Tran Thanh Man asked Binh Dinh to proactively address challenges and speed up the implementation of socio-economic tasks with high determination.
Staff recruitment, appointments, and transfers at all levels of government, which started on March 7, will remain in place until the restructuring plan is finalised. This includes the dissolution of district-level administrative units, the merger of provincial-level units, and the reorganisation of commune-level units, all aimed at streamlining the political system’s organisational structure.
Party General Secretary To Lam has emphasised that streamlining the political system must begin with specific, detailed, and practical steps.
