The Ministry of Interior will guide ministries, sectors, and localities in implementing the plan for reorganizing the administrative apparatus of state agencies to avoid disruptions or omissions in work. Personnel reduction will be implemented in conjunction with the staffing of officials, civil servants, and public employees according to job positions.

This year, the Ministry of Interior will continue to reorganize and promote autonomy for public service units under ministries, sectors, and localities, ensuring the objectives set forth in Resolution No. 19-NQ/TW are met.

In addition, institutions and policies related to the administrative apparatus, operating mechanisms, and policies for the staff have been thoroughly reviewed, amended, and supplemented.

Policies regarding officials, civil servants, and employees during the restructuring and streamlining of administrative apparatuses and units at all levels must be implemented effectively.

In addition to the 10% savings in recurrent expenditures to fund salary reforms as stipulated, this year the Ministry of Interior aims to save an additional 10% of the increased recurrent expenditures in 2025 compared to the 2024 budget. This savings will be used to reduce the state budget deficit, fund urgent and emerging tasks, implement social welfare programs, or supplement public investment spending.

"Implement the restructuring and streamlining of the ministry's organizational structure and internal organizations (reducing the number of internal organizational units by at least 15-20%, excluding organizations subject to consolidation or merger due to overlapping functions and tasks when implementing the consolidation plan), ensuring adherence to the requirements and orientations for restructuring and streamlining the organizational structure of the Central Steering Committee," the Ministry of Interior stated.

The Ministry of Interior plans to complete the development of criteria and regulations for evaluating and reviewing civil servants and public employees under its management, ensuring a minimum reduction of 20% of civil servants and public employees receiving salaries from the state budget to reduce staffing levels according to the plan and roadmap for implementing Government Decree 178/2024 on policies and regimes for cadres, civil servants, public employees, workers and armed forces in the implementation of organizational restructuring of the political system.

Finally, the Ministry of Interior stated that it will accelerate the streamlining of personnel in conjunction with organizational restructuring and improvement of the quality of cadres, civil servants, and public employees, ensuring the goal for the 2021-2026 period of reducing at least 5% of the personnel of cadres and civil servants and at least 10% of public employees receiving salaries from the state budget. This is to comply with Conclusion No. 40-KL/TW of 2022 of the Politburo on improving the efficiency of personnel management in the political system during the 2022-2026 period.

Focus on land, investment, public finance, and public assets.

The Ministry of Interior requested the development of a plan and focused inspection of several key areas and sectors, specifically focusing on land, investment, public finance, and public assets.

For violations discovered through inspections, examinations, and audits, the head of the unit must rectify, handle, or propose and recommend to the competent authority measures for handling them. Strictly enforce legal regulations on handling violations by heads of agencies and units and individuals responsible for wastefulness.

"We will be decisive in handling the results of inspections and audits to recover as much money and assets for the State as possible that have been violated, misappropriated, misused, or wasted as discovered through inspection and audit work," the Ministry of Interior stated.
