During the implementation process, the agencies will continue to review and agree with the Central Organizing Committee to report to the Politburo for amendments and supplements when necessary, ensuring that after the organization and staff are rearranged, the agencies and units must operate better and more effectively.
The General Secretary requested the Ministry of Home Affairs, the National Assembly Delegation Work Committee to coordinate with the Central Organization Committee to advise the Government, the Prime Minister, and the National Assembly to soon promulgate policies and regimes for cadres to implement the arrangement and structure of the cadre team with the view of streamlining the cadre team but retaining talented people and attracting good people to work in the public sector.
