This time, we are carrying out a revolution in organization and apparatus, to make the apparatus leaner and stronger, operate effectively and efficiently, reduce staff, restructure and improve the quality of cadres, civil servants, and public employees...

This is a major and correct policy of the Party and we are almost done. The authorities are trying to complete it in February so that in March the new organization and structure can begin to operate.

Of course, when a new apparatus, organization, or structure is put into operation, there will be smooth, favorable issues, but there will also be problems, glitches, and difficulties. That is normal and we must resolve them.

In order for the following arrangement to achieve the goal of effectiveness and efficiency, I think it is necessary to focus on three factors.

Firstly, the apparatus must be streamlined, compact, and strong, but functions and tasks must be clarified, and functions and tasks must not be encroached upon or overlapped. The Party does not replace the State.

It is necessary to enhance the leadership and governing role of the Party, enhance the management and administration role of the socialist rule-of-law State, and promote the role of the Vietnam Fatherland Front and socio-political organizations.

This requires more clarification and standardization of the functions and tasks of each agency, unit, and organization. Based on that, implement the viewpoint that one agency or unit does many things, but one task is only assigned to one agency, unit, or individual. One agency, for example, a ministry, can manage multiple sectors.

The second factor is the issue of staff. Through the arrangement and streamlining of the apparatus, we also streamline the payroll, rearrange and reassign staff so that agencies and units can operate effectively and efficiently.

Selecting staff is an extremely important task, the key of the key. If the apparatus after arrangement has clear functions and tasks but does not select the right staff, it will not operate effectively.

Cadres must truly have intelligence, courage, capacity, moral qualities, and prestige in the Party, among the people, and in the political system. Cadres must be wholeheartedly devoted to the assigned work, not avoiding or pushing away work; must dare to think, dare to do, dare to take responsibility, dare to innovate, dare to act for the common good.

The third factor is the application of science and technology. Currently, managers must grasp science and technology, have the qualifications to meet the requirements of the 4.0 industrial revolution, modern information technology, artificial intelligence, and digital transformation.

The spirit of operating the apparatus must be "right role, right job", assign the best person to that person, clearly define functions, tasks, and authority, because the clearer it is, the easier it is to evaluate and determine responsibilities.

At the same time, promote decentralization and delegation of power along with resource allocation, improve implementation capacity, strengthen inspection and supervision; local decisions, local actions, local responsibilities...

Get back to work right after streamlining the organization

The laws and resolutions discussed and approved at the session are very important and are the foundation for restructuring the apparatus, preparing for a new phase with a streamlined, effective, efficient and productive apparatus.
