In a report summarizing the people's reflections and recommendations sent to the National Assembly session, Permanent Vice Chairman of the Vietnam Fatherland Front Committee of Hanoi Nguyen Sy Truong said: The vast majority of people believe that implementing Resolution 18-NQ/TU on continuing to innovate and streamline the political system's apparatus to be lean, effective and efficient is necessary. However, the implementation needs to be careful and carefully calculated to achieve high efficiency, and the state apparatus, especially local authorities, must change in accordance with reality.

People also agree and support the policy of merging administrative units, but there are still concerns about the arrangement and placement of redundant staff and the use of facilities.

Voters recommend that the Central Government review and adjust the operating mechanisms of agencies and units in the political system, ensuring consistency and rationality in the division of responsibilities, decentralization and delegation of powers. It is necessary to continue to strongly apply digital transformation in the arrangement of commune-level administrative units in the 2023-2025 period, minimizing negative impacts on people and businesses, while ensuring timely settlement of administrative procedures.
