Speaking at the meeting, Deputy Prime Minister Nguyen Hoa Binh emphasized: The 11th meeting of the 13th Party Central Committee was a great success, deciding on many important issues, including the continued arrangement and streamlining of agencies in the political system, the arrangement of administrative units and the organization of two-level local governments. At the same time, it is required that the implementation of Resolution 11 of the 11th Central Committee on the arrangement and streamlining of the apparatus must be carried out in the spirit of "running and lining up at the same time" because there are many tasks that must be completed before June 30, because after June 30, the amended Constitution takes effect, the district level will no longer exist, the commune level will come into operation and from the beginning of July, the commune-level congress must be urgently held.
The First Deputy Prime Minister said that the remaining time is very little, very short; therefore, localities must take drastic action. If they are not proactive and urgent, they will not be able to achieve the requirements and progress set out according to the Central Government's direction. They must do it quickly but with high quality and no mistakes will occur.
The Permanent Deputy Prime Minister highly appreciated the 3 provinces for their active and proactive implementation of tasks in the recent past in rearranging and reorganizing the apparatus, from political and ideological work to resolving policies for cadres and workers during the rearrangement process. Permanent Deputy Prime Minister Nguyen Hoa Binh said that, implementing the Central Government's policy on the plan to merge 3 provinces, including Dak Nong, Binh Thuan and Lam Dong into a new province, the 3 localities have shared, united, agreed, and coordinated well with each other to carry out tasks as directed; this sharing, solidarity, and agreement is the basis and premise for effectively implementing the policy of merging 3 provinces and organizing 2-level local governments after the 3 provinces are merged.
