Implement restructuring and improve the quality of the civil servant workforce in accordance with job positions.

On the afternoon of December 10th, with 437 out of 442 participating delegates voting in favor, representing 92.39% of the total number of National Assembly delegates, the National Assembly passed the amended Law on Public Employees, consisting of 6 chapters and 43 articles.

The amended Law on Public Employees is a crucial step in concretizing the Politburo 's strategic resolutions on science, technology and innovation, education and training, healthcare, and new regulations on personnel work. It aims to restructure and improve the quality of public employees in line with job positions; strengthen the application of science, technology, and digital transformation; improve performance evaluation based on work output and results; create a mechanism for interconnecting human resources between the public and private sectors; and attract and utilize high-quality human resources to enhance the efficiency of public service units, contributing to socio-economic development and serving the people in the new era.

At the session, on behalf of the Prime Minister, Minister of Home Affairs Do Thanh Binh presented the report explaining, receiving feedback, and revising the draft Law on Public Employees (amended).

Specifically, according to the opinions of National Assembly deputies, the draft Law has been revised and supplemented with many important contents. Firstly, the draft has revised some related contents to transform the method of managing civil servants based on job positions, using job positions as the main basis for recruitment, placement, evaluation, planning, appointment, training, and implementation of regimes and policies for civil servants.

Secondly, the draft has revised the regulations on the obligations and rights of civil servants in professional activities outside of public service units, ensuring stricter enforcement.

Public officials are responsible for fulfilling their assigned duties at public service units, complying with legal regulations on industry and sector management, and avoiding conflicts of interest as stipulated by anti-corruption laws.

Thirdly, the draft refines regulations on labor contracts and service contracts, adding provisions on contract termination and unilateral contract termination in Article 22 to ensure consistency with the Labor Code.

Fourth, the draft amendments to the regulations on evaluating and classifying quality ensure consistency with Regulation No. 366-QĐ/TW dated August 30, 2025, of the Politburo and the Law on Cadres and Civil Servants; assigning the Government to prescribe the Framework of Evaluation Criteria as a basis for public non-business units to develop evaluation regulations for civil servants under their management.

Fifth, the draft amendments to the regulations on secondment, resignation, dismissal, and removal from office ensure consistency with the newly issued Regulation No. 377-QĐ/TW dated October 8, 2025, of the Politburo.

Also at the session, with 441 out of 447 participating delegates voting in favor, representing 93.23% of the total number of National Assembly delegates, the National Assembly passed the amended Law on Civil Aviation of Vietnam, consisting of 11 chapters and 107 articles.
