Regarding issues related to the implementation of Resolution No. 18-NQ/TW dated October 25, 2017, of the 12th Party Central Committee on continuing to reform the organisational structure of the political system for greater effectiveness, the General Secretary requested the Party Committee of the Government to focus on implementing decentralisation so that local authorities, especially at the commune and provincial levels, grasp the content of management decentralisation.
A fundamental change in mindset is necessary, as maintaining the old mindset of either not decentralising or half-heartedly decentralising will make it very difficult to work effectively, Lam stressed.
The Party chief emphasised the need to de🌠fine decentralisation as a tool to directly serve the needs of the people, create the most favourable conditions for them, an🍸d ensure that all requests from the grassroots level are effectively addressed./.
The revisions must be based on a thorough review and practical assessment of the implementation of the Constitution and related laws, particularly those governing the structure of the state apparatus.
