Directing the tasks in the coming time, clearly stating the goal of organizing the apparatus "Refined - Lean - Strong - Effective - Effective - Efficient", the Prime Minister requested the Steering Committee, ministries and agencies to continue reviewing and reporting to competent authorities on the plan to arrange and streamline units and agencies according to the conclusions, policies and orientations of the Central Committee, the Politburo, the Central Steering Committee on summarizing Resolution 18-NQ/TW, the Government's Steering Committee.

Regarding the arrangement plans of agencies and units, the Prime Minister noted the need to listen to opinions from many perspectives; what is ripe, clear, proven to be correct in practice, effectively implemented, and agreed upon by the majority, then the plan should be completed and reported to the competent authority for decision; for issues that are not ripe, unclear, and have different opinions, then the competent authority should be proposed to urgently study the next step and a more specific report will be provided soon.

The arrangement, streamlining of the organizational apparatus, and reduction of staff must be associated with restructuring and improving the quality of the civil servant and public employee team; it is necessary to continue reviewing policies to ensure the legitimate and legal rights and interests of cadres, civil servants, public employees, and workers. For specific issues, it is necessary to review and synthesize nationwide, assess the impact to develop and propose a number of appropriate policies in the current context.

Along with that, continue to research, amend and supplement regulations to resolve problems arising in practice, including urgently submitting to the Government a Decree on public asset management to have a basis for handling issues related to public assets during the arrangement process.
