Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh speaks at the meeting. |
Chairing a meeting between standing Cabinet members and ministries, sectors, and agencies regarding decentralization, delegation of authority, and delineation of powers associated with the implementation of the two-level local administration model, PM Pham Minh Chinh, who is head of the Government Steering Committee for reviewing the implementation of the Party Central Committee’s Resolution No.18-NQ/TW, requested members of the Government and the steering committee to strictly implement the directives of the Politburo on decentralization and delegation of authority to enhance the effectiveness and efficiency of the political system, meeting the requirements for national development in the new era.
He emphasized the need to institutionalize the Party’s viewpoints and policies on promoting decentralization and delegation, ensuring consistency and unity in the principles of delineating authority, decentralization, and delegation of power.
The Government leader urged the immediate development of decrees to carry out these works, with initial priority given to delineating the authority of local administrations based on the two-level local administration model, and decentralization and delegation of power in state management by sector and field, with the responsibilities between the central and local levels clearly defined.

An overview of the meeting |
Additionally, he required the building of separate decrees for certain specialized and specific sectors to further promote decentralization and delegation in state management for these sectors.
With the spirit of “avoiding perfectionism and haste,” the Prime Minister requested standing Cabinet members and the working group of the Government Steering Committee to work with ministers and heads of ministerial-level agencies on relevant contents, tasks, and draft decrees.
They are also tasked with monitoring, and conducting assessments to ensure consistency, coherence, timeliness, and quality of the decrees before submission to competent authorities for consideration.
