After the National Assembly completed the organizational structure and number of Government members for the 15th National Assembly term, the new Government apparatus consists of 14 ministries and 3 ministerial-level agencies with 25 members. Compared to before, the new Government apparatus has reduced 5 ministries, branches and 3 members.
The machine has become more compact.
Of the 14 ministries, 6 were newly established, including: Ministry of Home Affairs, Ministry of Finance, Ministry of Construction, Ministry of Science and Technology, Ministry of Agriculture and Environment, and Ministry of Ethnicity and Religion. These ministries were established on the basis of merging and rearranging a number of previous ministries.
In addition, there are 8 ministries that remain the same (with internal organization arrangement), including: National Defense; Public Security; Foreign Affairs; Justice; Industry and Trade; Culture, Sports and Tourism; Education and Training; and Health.

The three ministerial-level agencies remain the same as before, including: State Bank of Vietnam; Government Inspectorate; Government Office.
Of the 25 members of the Government, 6 have just been approved by the National Assembly for appointment, including 2 Deputy Prime Ministers and 4 ministers of newly established ministries.
After the reorganization, the Ministry of Agriculture and Environment has 10 deputy ministers, the Ministry of Finance has 9 deputy ministers, and the Ministry of Construction has 8 deputy ministers. The Ministries of Public Security, Home Affairs, and Foreign Affairs have 7 deputy ministers; the Ministry of National Defense has 6 deputy ministers; the State Bank has 6 deputy governors. The Ministries of Science and Technology; Culture, Sports and Tourism; and Education and Training have 5 deputy ministers; the Government Inspectorate has 5 deputy inspectors general. The Ministries of Justice, Industry and Trade, Health, and Ethnic Minorities and Religions have 4 deputy ministers; the Government Office has 4 deputy directors.
To perfect the personnel in ministries and branches after streamlining, the Prime Minister signed a decision to transfer and appoint a number of deputy ministers of ministries and branches.
According to the provisions of the revised Law on Government Organization, the number of deputy ministers and deputy heads of ministerial-level agencies shall not exceed 5, the Ministry of National Defense, the Ministry of Public Security, and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs shall not exceed 6, except in cases where there is a request to mobilize or rotate cadres by competent authorities.
The fact that ministries currently have a number of deputy ministers exceeding the law's regulations has been permitted by the National Assembly Standing Committee to meet the requirements of staff arrangement and assignment when streamlining the state apparatus.
However, ministries will have to gradually reduce the number of deputies to the correct number prescribed by law within 5 years.
Along with personnel restructuring, the Government has also issued a decree on the functions, tasks, powers and organizational structure of each ministry and branch.
Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh also signed a decision assigning work to the Prime Minister and 7 Deputy Prime Ministers with many innovative principles towards promoting decentralization and delegation of power compared to before.
Accordingly, the Prime Minister directly directs and manages major, important tasks, strategic, difficult, sensitive issues that have a great impact on the country's development in all areas of work within the functions, tasks, and powers of the Government. The Prime Minister does not handle tasks, areas, and work assigned to the Deputy Prime Minister.
Deputy Prime Ministers have the responsibility and authority to, on behalf of the Prime Minister, direct ministries, branches and localities such as preparing urgent, unexpected and necessary work contents, reporting to the Government, the Government Standing Committee and the Prime Minister for consideration and decision; presiding over timely handling of issues requiring inter-sectoral coordination.
The National Assembly gives more power to the Government and the Prime Minister
A new point in the Government's operations from March 1, according to the amended Law on Government Organization, the National Assembly has given more power to the Prime Minister. Notably, the regulation states: "In cases where it is absolutely necessary for the national interest, to prevent and combat natural disasters and epidemics, to ensure the lives and property of the people, the Prime Minister shall decide to apply other urgent measures prescribed by current laws, and report to the competent agencies of the Party and the National Assembly as soon as possible."
The Law also clearly states: "The Prime Minister does not decide on issues within the authority and responsibility of ministers and heads of ministerial-level agencies for sectors and fields as assigned by the Government."

In addition, in the upcoming activities of the Government, decentralization and delegation of power will also be promoted in the direction of "whichever level does well and effectively will be assigned directly to that level", "locality decides, locality does, locality is responsible".
In legislation, the revised Law on the Organization of the National Assembly has introduced a new legislative principle in the direction of empowering the Government to specify regulations. The law only regulates issues that are stable and have long-term value.
Regarding state management contents in each field, new issues, issues of developmental nature, issues that have not been tested in practice, the Law only stipulates policy contents of principles and orientations under the authority of the National Assembly.
The National Assembly decentralizes power to the Government and state agencies to continue to specify the provisions of the law and implement decentralization to ensure that it is consistent with the organizational capacity of each agency, organization, and local government at all levels and promptly meets the requirements of socio-economic development in each period.
The National Assembly basically does not regulate the contents of administrative procedures, processes, professional and technical standards and highly volatile contents.
In addition, the Law on Promulgation of Legal Documents (amended) also provides many regulations to facilitate the Government's socio-economic management, enhancing the role of "the submitting agency that must take ultimate responsibility".
With a more streamlined organizational structure; the National Assembly delegates more power and shifts more roles to the Government; in the future, the Government will operate flexibly, speed up the process of making decisions, and contribute to clearing "bottlenecks".
This will create more development space to achieve the GDP growth target of over 8% this year and aim for double-digit growth in the following years, just as General Secretary To Lam emphasized: "The apparatus must be streamlined to take off, to fly high and far."
