Speaking at the conference, the Prime Minister said that streamlining the apparatus is difficult, even very difficult, but it cannot be done and no matter how difficult it is, it must be done, because the current apparatus is cumbersome, with many intermediate levels and administrative levels, leading to many work bottlenecks.
Faced with difficult, heavy, short-term, high-demand, complex and sensitive tasks, the Prime Minister requested ministers and heads of sectors to promote a sense of responsibility, work with Party committees and agencies under ministries and sectors to thoroughly grasp and organize implementation, ensuring science with appropriate and effective roadmaps and steps.
" This restructuring and streamlining of the apparatus needs to be associated with promoting the personal responsibility of each member of the Government, ministers, heads of sectors, and individual leaders of agencies; associated with streamlining the payroll, restructuring and improving the quality of the staff, civil servants and public employees, with selecting the right and qualified staff, promoting the personal responsibility of each person for assigned tasks, improving the effectiveness and efficiency of operations, and putting the common interest first and foremost, " the Prime Minister directed.
Along with that, according to the Prime Minister, we must do a good job of ideological work, unify our will to act and work together, "The Party has directed, the Government has agreed, the National Assembly has agreed, the People have supported, then we only discuss doing, not retreating".
Regarding time, methods, and approaches, the Prime Minister requested ministries, branches, and agencies to thoroughly grasp the direction of the Central Steering Committee and the Government Steering Committee, promptly establish a Steering Committee with a working group of their own ministries and branches to organize the implementation of the summary of Resolution 18 and promote a proactive spirit in arranging according to the Central's roadmap and general instructions.
The Prime Minister urged ministers to spend time and focus on leading and directing this work well.
The Prime Minister also noted that it is necessary to both organize the Party and arrange the system of state management agencies, and work simultaneously according to the direction of the Central Committee and the Government's Steering Committee.
The process of streamlining and streamlining the apparatus must both complete political tasks and summarize the year 2024. Therefore, it is necessary to assign specific tasks to leaders of ministries and branches in the spirit of maximizing functions, tasks, powers and personal responsibilities.
The Prime Minister requested that based on the direction of the Central Steering Committee and the Government Steering Committee, the Ministry of Home Affairs make a specific plan with clear dates and times for implementation by ministries and branches.
Ministries and branches coordinate with the Ministry of Home Affairs to resolve arising issues and immediately report issues beyond their authority. Deputy Prime Ministers in their assigned fields proactively work with ministries and branches to deploy and inspect work regularly. The Government Steering Committee meets weekly to deploy work, grasp the situation and handle problems.
Regarding the plan to reorganize and streamline the apparatus, the Prime Minister requested to closely follow Resolution 18, the direction of the Central Steering Committee and note a number of contents.
Specifically: The general goal is to soon complete the construction of functions, tasks, powers, and organizational structures of each agency that are appropriate, effective, and streamlined, using a more elite staff; organize multi-sectoral and multi-field ministries, reduce intermediary steps, and basically end the model of general departments under the ministries; choose short, comprehensive names for ministries and agencies that cover functions and tasks, and have both historical and inherited characteristics, especially the merged ministries.
Regarding state-owned corporations and groups, the Prime Minister said that it is necessary to summarize and promote existing successful models, research and select appropriate models to effectively manage capital, develop state capital and focus on investment, and evaluate the operations of state-owned enterprises based on overall efficiency.

According to the head of the Government, media agencies should spend a lot of time promoting information about well-performing units and good models; and promote propaganda about achievements and results of national development.
The Prime Minister once again proposed promoting the sense of responsibility of Central officials, ministers, and heads of sectors. If leaders set good examples, subordinates will trust and spread the spirit to all agencies. The most important thing is for the common good, the national interest, and the people.
