Training on the division of authority on state management of the Ministry of Industry and Trade

The conference was connected online to the People's Committees of provinces, cities, districts, communes and wards across the country.

Minister of Industry and Trade Nguyen Hong Dien chaired the conference.

Speaking at the opening of the conference, Minister of Industry and Trade Nguyen Hong Dien emphasized that organizing a two-level local government model, along with clearly and specifically defining the functions, tasks and powers between government levels, is an objective and inevitable requirement, in line with the development trend of the region and the world .

The Minister believes that decentralization, delegation and delegation of authority are not simply techniques in state administration, but also clearly demonstrate the spirit of reform and democratization in national governance. This is a key factor contributing to the transformation of the state management model from "management" to "service", thereby improving the operational efficiency of administrative apparatus at all levels, better serving the people and businesses.

Previously, on June 12, 2025, the Prime Minister signed and issued two important decrees: Decree No. 139/2025/ND-CP regulating the decentralization of authority of two-level local authorities in the field of state management under the Ministry of Industry and Trade and Decree No. 146/2025/ND-CP regulating decentralization in the field of industry and trade.

At the conference, delegates were informed, guided and answered about the contents related to the two above-mentioned decrees, as well as the amended and supplemented regulations issued by the Minister of Industry and Trade related to the decentralization of administrative procedure implementation in the fields under the management of the Ministry.
