The Ministry of Home Affairs is seeking opinions on the Draft Decree on determining the authority of the internal affairs sector when organizing local government at 2 levels.
The Ministry of Home Affairs said that according to current law, local government includes 3 levels: Provincial level, district level and commune level.

Thus, the tasks and authority of district-level state agencies need to be adjusted according to current law to meet the requirements of state management.
