Hanoi (VNA) – Prime Min✤ister Pham Minh Chinh on August 6 presided over the inaugural meeting of the Steering Committee tasked with conducting a review of the 20-year Government apparatus model from the 12th to 15th tenures.
As head of the Steering Committee, PM Chinh underlined the importance of reforming the Government's organisation and operations.
According to the PM, the objective is to create a streamlined, efficient, and effective apparatus by reducing the number of ministries and ministerial-level agencies, promoting rational decentralisation between central and local authorities, and ultimately building a people-oriented, law-governed, professional, and modern state administrative apparatus. This reformed structure should ensure that the Government remains the highest state administrative body, exercising executive power and serving as the executive body of the National Assembly.
Members of the Steering Committee were asked to discuss and define clear goals for the review and propose strategic directions to refine the power and organisational structure of the Government for the 16th term and beyond.
The PM requested a detailed roadmap for the review, to be due by December 31, 2024. He stressed that responsibilities must be assigned, specifying "individuals, clear tasks, responsibilities, timelines, and deliverables," throughout the review process.
He suggested that surveys of government models under the review focus on countries in Asia with similar cultural, economic, and political characteristics, providing relevant benchmarks for Vietnam.
Heads of ministries and agencies must prepare reports that assess the implementation of functions, tasks, powers, and organizational structures within their respective domains.
The leader tasked the Ministry of Foreign Affairs with compiling a report on international experiences regarding Government apparatus models while the Ministry of Home Affairs will lead the project. He instructed the organisation of domestic seminars to gather input from experts and scientists, while survey teams should be sent to countries with similar characteristics to Vietnam to learn from their experiences./.
