Based on Clause 7, Section I of Guidance No. 1397/HD-UBND dated August 27, 2025 of the Ho Chi Minh City People's Committee on the authority to consider transferring professional titles of civil servants, Mr. Pham Van Vu (name of the person being changed) said that the Chairman of the Commune People's Committee and directly affiliated public non-business units are assigned the authority to decide on considering transferring professional titles for civil servants according to each rank and specific title.
