In particular, since October 2024, on the basis of inheriting the results of 7 years of implementing Resolution 18, the Central Executive Committee, the Politburo , and the Secretariat have carefully studied, with a strategic vision and long-term orientation, and established an overall model of the political system; the arrangement and streamlining of the apparatus organization has been widely implemented, including the internal structure of agencies and organizations at both the central and local levels; adjusting provincial administrative boundaries, organizing 2-level local governments, not organizing at the district level, merging commune-level administrative units with the largest scale in modern history, reflecting the determination to reform the apparatus organization of the political system in a fundamental, strong, and historically significant manner.

To implement the new organizational model, in a very short time, we have synchronously revised, supplemented, and newly promulgated the system of Party regulations, the Constitution, laws, etc., creating a solid political and legal foundation for the apparatus to operate normally, continuously, and smoothly, contributing to paving the way for development creation.

The work of dissemination and implementation has been strongly innovated. The work contents have been led and directed to be implemented urgently, resolutely, synchronously, democratically, scientifically, and highly effectively, ensuring the leadership of the Party, the management of the State, the supervision of the people, maintaining principles, complying with regulations, and steadfastly and persistently pursuing the set goals; up to now, the entire political system has completed all goals and exceeded the set schedule with a huge amount of work being deployed promptly.

The results achieved in recent times have affirmed the breakthrough and superiority in leadership, direction and implementation:

(1) The organizational system, Party, State, Fatherland Front agencies, and socio-political organizations from the central to local levels are reorganized synchronously, streamlined, effectively, and efficiently.

(2) End the activities of party delegations and party executive committees, establish new party committees at the central and provincial levels; reduce many agencies and units directly under the central and provincial levels and internal focal points.

(3) Organize administrative units according to the new model simultaneously with merging provincial and commune-level administrative units; merge and reduce 29 provincial-level administrative units, reduce 7,277 commune-level administrative units, do not organize district-level administrative units; reorganize the local military and police system, inspectorates, courts, procuracies, agencies and units of vertical management, arrange local party organizations in sync with agencies, units and organizations of the political system according to the model of organizing 2-level administrative units; arrange socio-political organizations and mass associations assigned by the Party and State to be directly under the Fatherland Front at all levels.

(4) Synchronously promulgate policies and regulations of the Party, laws of the State, regulations of the Fatherland Front and organizations, ensuring full political and legal basis when implementing the arrangement; functions, tasks, and organizational apparatus of agencies and organizations are researched, promulgated, supplemented, and amended comprehensively, promptly, and appropriately, ensuring that agencies, units, organizations, cadres, civil servants, and public employees operate continuously and smoothly, contributing to improving efficiency, effectiveness, and efficiency, without interrupting work, leaving tasks, areas, and fields vacant, and affecting the normal activities of agencies, units, organizations, society, and people before, during, and after the arrangement.

At the same time, the Politburo and the Secretariat focused on leading, directing and orienting the Party committees directly under the Central Committee, the departments, ministries, branches, agencies and units at the Central level to develop plans and roadmaps to continue streamlining public service units, schools, educational institutions, medical facilities, state-owned enterprises and reorganizing the internal agencies and organizations in the political system. Promote decentralization and delegation of power in a modern direction, close to the people and the grassroots.

The implementation of streamlining the payroll associated with improving the quality of the staff has had a clear change, achieving the set goals, contributing to saving the State budget. Regimes and policies for cadres, civil servants, public employees, and workers affected by the implementation of organizational restructuring, staff streamlining, and cadres not old enough to be re-elected have been issued and implemented promptly, creating favorable conditions in the process of arranging, gradually restructuring and improving the quality of cadres, civil servants, and public employees of the political system.

The results of the revolution to streamline the apparatus of the political system show that this is a very correct and accurate policy, originating from a strategic vision for long-term national development, of historical significance, supported by cadres, party members, and the people, and highly appreciated by international public opinion; agencies, units, and organizations in the political system, especially the 2-level administrative apparatus at the local level, ensure streamlining, effective and efficient operations, close to the people, close to the grassroots, basically smooth, stable, and better serve the people.

Personnel work is given special attention and has many innovations.

According to Appendix 5, personnel work is given special importance, with many innovations, contributing to the gradual development of a team of officials at all levels. Many policies and solutions on personnel work are institutionalized and specified by regulations, rules, and procedures to ensure consistency, democracy, transparency, and strictness.
