Regarding the reform to streamline the political system's organizational structure, merging 63 provinces and cities into 34 provincial administrative units, and establishing a two-tier local government, Consul General Dinh Hoang Linh analyzed that it is not merely a mechanical reduction or change in the administrative map. It represents a strong shift towards comprehensive restructuring to change management and service delivery to citizens and businesses, building a streamlined, modern administration capable of seizing opportunities in the new development era.
The goals include: saving the state budget, reducing administrative costs for citizens and businesses; organizing a streamlined, efficient, effective local government, reducing intermediate layers to meet the demands of professional, modern governance; ensuring a transparent, unified, seamless administration in line with global trends; demonstrating a commitment to reform, improving public service quality, promoting digital transformation, creating momentum for innovation, and enhancing trust among citizens, businesses, and international friends; expanding development space, leveraging local potential advantages, concentrating resources for rapid, sustainable socio-economic development, aiming for socio-economic development goals: by 2030, Vietnam will be a developing country with modern industry and high middle income; by 2045, it will become a developed country with high income.
Resolution 68-NQ/TU marks a historic step, identifying the private economy as the most crucial driver of the national economy.
