The Prime Minister spoke about personnel arrangements when abolishing district-level police forces.

(NLĐO) - According to government leaders, when district-level police are abolished, officers will be assigned to grassroots levels, where they are closest to the people.

On the afternoon of February 14th, during a group discussion on adjusting the 2025 GDP growth target to 8% or higher, Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh mentioned the idea of ​​abolishing district-level police forces as part of the restructuring and streamlining of the administrative apparatus.

According to the Prime Minister, the goal is to develop the country, and to achieve this, it is necessary to reform the organizational structure, improve the efficiency of the organizational structure, reduce administrative procedures, and abolish the "request-and-grant" mechanism.

This includes organizing the administrative structure, arranging and assigning personnel appropriately, improving the quality and restructuring the workforce of officials and civil servants, and strengthening guidance at the grassroots level.

"Why did we recently decide to abolish district-level police?" - The Prime Minister questioned, explaining that when implementing the abolition of the district level for reorganization, some officers were transferred to the provincial level, but the majority were moved to the grassroots level, which is the closest to the people.

According to government leaders, everything happens at the grassroots level. Emphasizing the goal of ensuring the happiness and well-being of the people, and that the people are at the grassroots level, in wards and communes, the Prime Minister stated that to care for the people, it is necessary to strengthen the forces at the grassroots level.

Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh also stated that we have been working comprehensively recently, and there is still much work to be done between now and the end of the year. "This requires the consensus of the entire political system, the involvement of the people and businesses, and the support of international friends. Once we have determined that we must do something, we must be determined, united, and consistent; what we say we will do, we must do. What we do must produce tangible wealth and concrete products to bring happiness and prosperity to the people," the Prime Minister said.

Regarding the economic growth target, the Prime Minister stated that the 10th Central Committee Conference identified a difficult target of 6.5-7%. Emphasizing that the greater the difficulties and pressure, the more effort must be made, the Prime Minister stated that this is a tradition of our nation from ancient times to the present, and also a core cultural aspect of the country: the greater the difficulties, the more united and cohesive we become, and we have overcome them.

That is also why the Government reported to the Politburo, the Central Committee, and the National Assembly that it may strive for a higher target in 2025, specifically raising it to over 8% instead of 6.5-7%. According to government leaders, if we don't set this target, the average growth rate of 6-7% per year will make it difficult to achieve the two centenary goals, so we must promote higher growth.

In addition to the solutions outlined in the proposal submitted to the National Assembly, the Prime Minister noted the need to create a creative space for ministries, localities, businesses, and related entities in achieving growth targets.

In addition, it is necessary to strengthen solutions to promote public investment to lead private investment; and accelerate the three strategic breakthroughs. The Prime Minister also emphasized the development of high-quality human resources, development based on science and technology and innovation.

At this 9th extraordinary session, the Government is submitting to the National Assembly for consideration and feedback an adjustment to the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) growth rate to 8% or higher (previously, the National Assembly decided on a target of 6.5-7%, striving for 7-7.5%); and an average consumer price index (CPI) increase rate of approximately 4.5-5%.

If necessary, the state budget deficit may be adjusted to approximately 4-4.5% of GDP to mobilize resources for development investment; public debt, government debt, and foreign debt may reach or exceed the warning threshold of approximately 5% of GDP.

To achieve a growth rate of 8% or higher, the Government believes that new thinking, new approaches, institutional breakthroughs, and thorough decentralization and delegation of power are necessary. The restructuring of the organizational apparatus must be completed to ensure efficiency and effectiveness, without negatively impacting citizens or businesses in the short term.

Furthermore, it is necessary to promote the leading role of growth-driven regions, economic corridors, and growth poles. Specifically, the GRDP growth rate of localities in 2025 should be at least 8-10%, especially Hanoi, Ho Chi Minh City, and other potential localities and major cities that serve as growth engines and poles, striving for higher growth rates than the national average; appropriate incentive mechanisms should be in place for high-growth localities, with contributions to the central government.
