The same day, Politburo member, Secretary of the Party Central Committee and head of its Commission for Information, Education and Mass Mobilisation Trinh Van Quyet visited and presented gifts to heroic Vietnamese mothers, policy beneficiary families, poor households and disadvantaged workers in central Hue city.

Quyet paid tribute to generations who sacrificed for national independence and stressed that caring for revolution contributors and vulnerable groups must remain a regular and substantive responsibility, not only during commemorative occasions.

He urged local authorities to continue fully implementing preferential policies for people with meritorious service, particularly heroic mothers, severely wounded veterans and elderly contributors, with the goal of ensuring policy beneficiary families enjoy living standards at or above community averages.

On the occasion, Quyet and representatives of the Vietnam General Confederation of Labour, the Vietnam Veterans Association, the Vietnam Red Cross Society, and local authorities presented gifts to 100 poor and near-poor households, and 100 labourers in hardship. He also visited former Politburo member, former Secretary of the Party Central Committee, and former head of its Ideology and Culture Commission Nguyen Khoa Diem./.

Two-tier local administration model runs smoothly: ministry

After slashing layers of bureaucracy and pushing more power down to the commune level, a substantial volume of work has shifted to the grassroots officials. In many areas, the workforce is unevenly skilled, with a shortage of specialists. Additionally, certain units operate across multiple locations, making management, coordination, and day-to-day operations a real mess.
