The independent survey portal HIHUB, designed to collect public feedback on 50 groups of public services across the capital, was officially launched on June 4.

Prime Minister Le Minh Hung recently ordered ministries and agencies to immediately cut at least 30% of administrative procedures, 50% of processing time, 50% of compliance costs and 30% of business conditions, while eliminating all unnecessary procedures.

The government’s campaign to reduce and simplify business conditions has delivered positive results, meeting the expectations of both the public and the business community. More than 1,730 business conditions have been cut, while 680 administrative procedures have been eliminated.

Deputy Prime Minister Nguyen Van Thang has instructed the Ministry of Finance (MoF) and the State Bank of Viet Nam (SBV) to urgently review and incorporate feedback from relevant ministries to finalise plans to decentralise administrative procedures, halve compliance costs and processing time, and eliminate all unnecessary business conditions.

The “Party Member E-handbook” application stands out as a highlight. Implemented by Thai Nguyen Province since 2020, the app has achieved a registration rate of more than 92%, making the locality one of four selected by the central authorities for piloting.

Viet Nam saw 145,000 newly registered enterprises in the first nine months of 2025, up 18.9% from the same period in 2024, according to a report by the National Statistics Office.

Although the new two-tier local government model has run stably since its launch on July 1, there is much to do to ensure its smooth, synchronous and effective operations, Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh has stressed.

Following a comprehensive streamlining process, newly formed communes and wards in Nghe An Province have begun operating smoothly, efficiently managing public tasks and providing timely services to residents. This marks a significant step in the province’s transition to a two-tier local government system.

The new Quang Tri province, created through the merger of the central provinces of Quang Binh and Quang Tri, is well-positioned to develop an open, modern economic model linked to key East-West and North-South economic corridors, maximising advantages from coastal space, deep-water ports, airports, and international border gates, Party General Secretary To Lam has stated.

Party General Secretary To Lam on June 23 held a working session with the Party Committee of the Viet Nam Fatherland Front (VFF) and central mass organisations, during which he urged the front and the organisations to enhance public consensus for the successful implementation of the revolution of streamlining the political system’s organisational apparatus and reorganisation of administrative units.

Quang Ninh is among the first localities nationwide to pilot the two-tier model, ahead of the full national roll-out scheduled for July 1.

Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh has ordered that the grassroots political system, including Party organisations, administrations, the Fatherland Front Committees and socio-political organisations at the communal level, must be fully and synchronously operational nationwide by June 30.

President Luong Cuong has hailed the planned merger of Hung Yen and Thai Binh provinces as more than mere administrative restructuring, describing it as a strategic move that could create a stronger locality capable of competing effectively across the Red River Delta and nationwide.

The digital transformation should be promoted in all fields and from provincial down to communal levels Bac Ninh Province, said Secretary of the provincial Party Committee Nguyen Anh Tuan at a recent conference.
