The number of Deputy Prime Ministers will be based on the reality of each period.

The Government noted that it only provides principles for Deputy Prime Ministers.

The Government has just issued a Resolution on the specialized meeting on law making in January 2025.

One of the notable contents is the draft Resolution of the National Assembly on the establishment of a number of ministries on the basis of reorganizing a number of ministries of the Government of the 15th National Assembly term and the draft Resolution of the National Assembly on the structure of Government members of the 15th National Assembly term.

Create a "clear" mechanism

Accordingly, the Government agrees on the necessity of developing and promulgating these resolutions. The Government assigns the Ministry of Home Affairs to continue to complete the draft resolution in the direction of defining the names of ministries and agencies in accordance with the decisions of competent authorities.

Regarding the Government's membership structure, the Government noted that it only stipulates in principle the number of Deputy Prime Ministers; the specific number of Deputy Prime Ministers is determined based on the practical situation of each period.

Regarding the draft Resolution of the National Assembly on handling a number of contents related to the organizational arrangement, the Government basically agrees with the proposal of the Ministry of Justice on the policies submitted by the Ministry of Justice.

The Government assigned the Ministry of Justice to continue researching and reviewing solutions for each policy, and to absorb opinions from Government members for completion.

In which, policy 1: Issue specific regulations to handle a number of related contents to ensure the continuous, smooth and convenient operation of agencies, society, people and businesses when implementing organizational restructuring.

Policy 2: Issue regulations on responsibilities and deadlines for reviewing and amending legal documents of relevant agencies to handle issues within their authority other than those that can be implemented according to the provisions of the Resolution.

At the same time, it stipulates the authority and responsibility for handling other contents arising after the implementation of organizational restructuring that are not yet specified in the Resolution and some contents that need to be transferred.

In particular, the Government noted creating an "open" mechanism for competent agencies and organizations to issue temporary guidance documents to promptly handle arising issues not foreseen in the resolution.

At the same time, it allows the Government to issue documents regulating the functions, tasks, powers, and organizational structure of agencies under the Government's authority that are different from the provisions of current laws and ordinances in the period after the organizational arrangement but has not yet promptly amended and supplemented the regulations...

The Government assigned the Ministry of Justice to preside over and coordinate with the Government Office and relevant agencies to urgently complete the dossier for drafting the resolution, submit it to competent authorities for permission to apply the shortened procedures to ensure quality and progress, and promptly submit it to the National Assembly at the 9th extraordinary session in February 2025.

Creating a legal framework for organizational restructuring

Regarding the draft Law on Government Organization (amended) and the draft Law on Local Government Organization (amended), the Government highly appreciated the Ministry of Home Affairs for proactively presiding over and coordinating with relevant ministries and agencies to complete the two draft laws in a short period of time.

In particular, the draft Law on Government Organization (amended) aims to create a legal framework for perfecting the organization of the Government apparatus, innovating and arranging the organization of the state administrative apparatus to be "streamlined - compact - strong - effective - efficient - effective", meeting the requirements of building and perfecting the socialist rule-of-law state of Vietnam in the new situation.

The draft law needs to focus on harmoniously, reasonably, effectively, clearly and specifically resolving the relationship between Government agencies; between Government agencies and central agencies such as the National Assembly, the Central Committee of the Vietnam Fatherland Front, the Supreme People's Court, the Supreme People's Procuracy... and between Government agencies and local authorities.

The Government noted that decentralization and delegation of power must be associated with ensuring resources, promoting the responsibility of leaders, and strengthening inspection and supervision of implementation.

In addition, the Government also requested the Ministry of Home Affairs to urgently complete the draft Law on Organization of Local Government (amended) in the direction of clearly defining the model of local government organization suitable to the characteristics of rural, urban, and island areas...

This bill is expected to be submitted to the National Assembly at the 9th Extraordinary Session this February.
