This event opens a new phase, with new momentum, spreading confidence in good results: people and businesses are better served and a more favorable environment is created for the country to develop.
This revolution in the arrangement of administrative apparatus and units is a revolution with a strategic vision, aiming to build a "streamlined - compact - strong - efficient - effective - efficient" apparatus, ready to meet all development requirements of the country in the new era.
On this journey, there may be challenges from reality, but with the broad consensus of the people as an important foundation, it is the source of strength and creates confidence in success. President Ho Chi Minh once emphasized: "Unity, unity, great unity. Success, success, great success". His teachings still retain their value, carrying much meaning in the process of restructuring functions and tasks, reducing intermediate levels, eliminating overlaps, aiming at the goal of serving the Fatherland and the people best.
The harmony between the Party's will and the people's will has created a deep social consensus, arousing the strength of the great national unity bloc, an important factor bringing success to the reform process. A clear proof is that the people's support rate for the provincial and communal level arrangement and merger projects reached about 96%.
A survey by the Ho Chi Minh City Institute for Development Studies also showed that more than 50% of Ho Chi Minh City officials are “ready to quit their jobs” even though they are not subject to downsizing. These impressive numbers demonstrate a sense of responsibility and solidarity for the common good. This is one of the solid foundations for the whole country to reach the historic milestone on July 1, completing the arrangement at the commune level before July 15 and at the provincial level before August 15 according to the set roadmap.
In history, our country has reorganized its apparatus many times and achieved certain results. However, this reorganization is of a “revolutionary” nature, with a more comprehensive, extensive and clearer scale than ever before, as a “historic campaign in peacetime”. Reducing the number of commune-level administrative units from 10,035 to more than 3,320 (a reduction of 66.91%), provincial level from 63 to 34 and ending the operation of 694 district-level administrative units is an unprecedented change.
In his speech, General Secretary To Lam affirmed that this is a policy that is “very correct, very accurate, in line with the Party’s will and the people’s heart”. General Secretary To Lam also emphasized that the goal of prosperity is not only economic growth, but also the ability to create a safer, fairer and happier society for all people, leaving no one behind.
The innovation that our country is implementing brings practical benefits that can be seen immediately, contributing to the realization of that "prosperity" goal. According to the calculation of the Central Organizing Committee, after the arrangement, through streamlining the payroll, in the period of 2026-2030, the state budget expenditure is expected to decrease by about 38,100 billion VND per year, not to mention savings from operating costs such as electricity, water, offices, meetings... This financial resource will be invested to better implement social security policies, improving the quality of life of the people.
And for these benefits to truly reach the people, the quality of the staff plays a decisive role. That requires establishing and implementing a strict monitoring mechanism and fair and objective evaluation of staff. Staff who do not complete their tasks must be replaced. Those with outstanding achievements must be promoted.
Screening out incompetent individuals and promoting talented and dedicated people will create great motivation for the staff to strive, contribute and affirm their own values. Dedicated and professional staff will ensure the smooth operation of the apparatus, close to the people. From there, people will enjoy quality, fast public services, with simpler and more transparent administrative procedures, helping to strengthen the trust and consensus of the whole society.
Moreover, this revolution also creates conditions for more resources to take care of comprehensive social security. Because when financial resources are used more effectively, they will better serve the basic and essential needs of the people such as upgrading hospitals, schools, strengthening medical equipment, improving the quality of medical staff, teachers, etc.
In addition, the policy of free tuition or the policy of moving towards free hospital fees brings practical benefits, which will be clearly felt by the people. These are important bright spots, proving that the policy of streamlining the apparatus also aims to improve the quality of life for the people, thereby receiving widespread consensus and support from all social classes.
The revolution in the organization of the apparatus is a historic decision. With the ultimate goal of the prosperity of the country and the happiness of the people, we have the right to put all our faith in a clean, streamlined, and effective political system. That apparatus will best serve the interests of the people and ensure the sustainable development of the country, to together build Vietnam to be increasingly strong, prosperous, civilized, and happy.
