The Government Office is tasked with working together with relevant ministries and agencies to devise a plan on majoradministrative reforms from now to the end of this year, which will besubmitted to the PM in July.

The Deputy PM also instructed the Government Office to submit a proposal to the Prime Minister on the establishment of a task force on administrative reform of the PM, which will instruct, monitor andpush the implementation of programmes, plans and projects onadministrative reform, identify difficulties and obstacles and remove them in atimely manner, prioritising pending ones.
