Chinh, who is also head of the committee, noted that people and businesses should be the centre, subject, driving force and target of administrative reform which, he said, requires strong, resolves, great efforts and drastic actions.

Time and resources should not be wasted due to negligence and bureaucracy of officials, he emphasised.

Chinh called for greater endeavors in deploying the strategy on building and perfecting a rule-of-law socialist State till 2030 with a vision towards 2045 after it is adopted.

He also ordered amending and supplementing the existing legal regulations to remove obstacles in mechanisms and policies, thereby facilitating socio-economic development.

The leader asked ministries, agencies and localities to quickly implement tasks and solutions to accelerate administrative reform, as well as the project on reforming the single-window mechanism in handling administrative procedures for 2021-2025, and the program on reducing and simplifying regulations relating to business activities for 2020-2025.

The standardization of results of the handling of administrative procedures on the National Database on Administrative Procedures must be completed before the end of this year, he said, requesting ministries and agencies to cut at least 20% of information needed by reusing digitized data.

Notably, the reshuffle of apparatuses of ministries, ministerial-level agencies and government agencies must be done within this month, he said.
