The Ministry of Transport, for the first time, will organise a public recruitment drive to select the director of the Directorate for Roads of Vietnam this April.
"The public selection of the highest leader of the Directorate for Roads of Vietnam is proof of democracy in action. This is a breakthrough in the process of appointing high-ranking officials, ensuring we select the best candidates," said Deputy Minister of Transport Nguyen Hong Truong.
He added that the road sector is experiencing urgent problems such as transport infrastructure maintenance and traffic safety issues, so choosing the best candidate to properly lead the sector is the right move.
The Directorate for Roads of Vietnam is in charge of all issues related to road traffic nationwide. Its current director, Nguyen Duc Thang, will retire at the end of this year.
"The position presents many challenges," Thang stated, adding that Vietnam currently has more than 200,000 kilometres of roads in operation and about 100 existing road projects.
Eligible candidates are heads of departments under the ministry, vice directors of the Directorate for Roads of Vietnam, the director of the Vietnam Aviation Academy, and heads of universities, institutes, board of trustees and companies under the MoT, and directors of provincial departments of transport.
These candidates must also meet other requirements based on age and strong profiles and must have been working in the transport sector for at least 10 years.
The jury will comprise 15 members, with the chief jury being a deputy minister.-VNA
