In the coming time, the Ministry of Home Affairs will advise the Government and coordinate with the Central Organizing Committee to re-determ the job position and workload, thereby developing criteria and standards for limiting the number of cadres and civil servants suitable for both the provincial and grassroots levels. These proposals will be reported to the Politburo for consideration and decision.
Identifying people as a key factor, the Ministry of Home Affairs is promoting training and professional development activities for commune-level cadres and civil servants. This July, training courses have been deployed in Dien Bien province and will continue to be held in Ho Chi Minh City and many other localities.
