The sub-committee comprises representatives at department/bureau level from the ministries of industry and trade; foreign affairs; finance; science and technology; construction; and culture, sports, and tourism.

The sub-committee’s chair will issue internal regulations on its organization and operation, aiming to enhance the effectiveness of both the sub-committee and the broader Joint Committee.

The new body will operate under guidelines set by the PM’s 2016 decision governing the establishment and operation of Vietnamese sub-committees within intergovernmental committees with foreign nations.
