Speaking at the conference, Minister of Industry and Trade Nguyen Hong Dien said that after 68 years of construction and development and especially in the past 6 years (since the establishment of the General Department of Market Management until now), Market Management has become the main force on the front line of the fight against smuggling, trade fraud and counterfeit goods in the domestic market.

Ensure streamlining, effective and efficient operations, associated with restructuring the team of cadres and civil servants with sufficient qualities and abilities to match the tasks in the new situation.
In particular, directing the end of the organizational model of the General Department of Market Management and transferring local Market Management Departments to the People's Committees of provinces and cities for management. In order to improve proactiveness and flexibility, closely grasp the market situation, and be able to respond more quickly and effectively to market fluctuations in the locality" - Minister Nguyen Hong Dien said.
