The Ministry of Transport will merge with the Ministry of Construction, potentially named the Ministry of Infrastructure and Urban Development.
The Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment will merge with the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development, proposed to be renamed the Ministry of Agriculture, Natural Resources and Environment, to solve overlapping in water resource management and biodiversity.
The Ministry of Information and Communications will merge with the Ministry of Science and Technology, possibly named the Ministry of Digital Transformation and Science, Technology.
The Ministry of Labor, Invalids and Social Affairs will merge with the Ministry of Home Affairs, creating the Ministry of Home Affairs and Labor. Some functions of the Ministry of Labor will be transferred to the Ministry of Education and Training and the Ministry of Health.
Adjustment of functions and tasks:
The Ministry of Health will undertake duties regarding social protection, children, and social vice prevention. It will also manage the current functions of the Central Health Protection and Care Committee when this unit is dissolved.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs will assume the duties of the Central External Relations Committee and the National Assembly's Foreign Affairs Committee after these units cease operations.
The Ministry of National Defense will adjust its internal organizational structure and take over the Ho Chi Minh Mausoleum Management Board.
Arrangement of Government agencies:
Some units, such as the Committee for State Capital Management at Enterprises and the National Financial Supervisory Committee, will cease operations.
Two academies and two national universities (Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City) will be reorganized.
Towards downsizing the organizational structure:
It is expected that the organizational structure of the Government of Vietnam will be reduced to 13 ministries and 4 ministerial-level agencies, a reduction of 5 ministries compared to the current structure.
Reduce 15-20% of internal organizational units in ministries, except in the Ministry of Public Security and the Ministry of National Defense.
Establish new party committees:
The Communist Party Personnel Committee of the Government of Vietnam will cease operations, to be replaced by the Communist Party Committee of the Government of Vietnam under the Central Government. Party organizations of ministries and ministerial-level agencies will fall under this party committee.
The organizational realignment of the Government of Vietnam aims to fulfill the goal of "Compact - Lean - Strong - Efficient - Effective" and meet the requirements for building a socialist rule of law state in the new era. The Minister of Home Affairs emphasized that this is an important step forward in enhancing management efficiency, reducing overlapping functions, and promoting the country's sustainable development.
