Speaking at the meeting, Deputy Minister Nguyen Thanh Tinh expressed his impression of the socio-economic development results of the capital in the context of streamlining the apparatus and operating the 2-level local government model.

Emphasizing the goal of reviewing, reducing, and simplifying administrative procedures to better serve people and businesses, Deputy Minister Nguyen Thanh Tinh highly appreciated the city's unified direction to not collect paper documents for 25 essential online public services that have been provided in full, replacing them with data mining.

Deputy Minister Nguyen Thanh Tinh said that the Ministry of Public Security has proactively reviewed administrative procedures and identified 15 types of documents that are eligible to be replaced by electronic data. According to initial statistics, there are 734 administrative procedures with file components that can be immediately replaced by data from ministries, branches and many administrative procedures from localities.

Emphasizing the general spirit of "correct, sufficient, clean, live, unified, and shared" data, the Deputy Minister requested that ministries, branches, localities, and related units share responsibility in completing databases, ensuring connectivity and communication between databases and communications so that people can grasp and implement to achieve consensus.

Noting that, during the implementation process, reflecting inaccurate data is inevitable, the Deputy Minister emphasized the need to have a data "cleaning" process and a flexible handling mechanism to ensure the legitimate rights of the people. Specifically, each ministry and sector needs to proactively propose a specific implementation roadmap, clearly identifying the types of documents that can be replaced by electronic data, first of all, the 15 types of documents that have been proactively reviewed by the Ministry of Public Security.

At the meeting, the Deputy Minister requested Hanoi city to point out difficulties and obstacles from local practice as well as propose and recommend solutions in the spirit of "just talking and doing", thereby bringing practical benefits to people and businesses and contributing to building a modern, transparent and service-oriented administration.
