PM Pham Minh Chinh speaks at the meeting

The meeting was connected to the 63 provincial-level localities via videoconferencing.

Speaking at the meeting, PM Chinh, who is also head of the committee, emphasised that stepping up administrative reform, boosting the decentralisation of power, and building a lean, efficient and effective state apparatus, remain an issue identified by the Party and State as a focus and a breakthrough during the building of a law-governed socialist state in the new period.

The Government leader acknowledged efforts and achievements in this regard, by the Government, all-level authorities, sectors, localities, and the committee, but also pointed out that there remain many shortcomings and problems.

He asked the committee to connect its meetings with communal-level authorities via videoconferencing, to enhance the sense of responsibility and power for administrations at this level, which directly meet and work with people and businesses.
