Hanoi (VNA) – Public and corporate satisfaction should be used to measure the efficiency of administrative reforms, Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh said at a year-end conference held by the Ministry of Home Affairs in Hanoi on December 29.
Reforming administrative procedures is among the key tasks for 2023 with people and businesses at the centre, the leader said.
He asked the sector to continue contributing to building a streamlined, efficient and effective administrative apparatus, in tandem with personnel restructuring and training.
To fulfill these tasks, the sector needs to build and perfect relevant institutions and policies and improve the quality of their work, while revamping its personnel management.
Chinh also highlighted the significance of improving the domestic business environment, raising national competitiveness, and enhancing digital transformation towards a digital government, digital economy and digital society.
He urged the sector to raise the efficiency of state management over religions and beliefs, encourag🎃ing religious dignitaries and followers to participate in socio-economic development, national defence and security, and promote religious values.
According to a report presented at the conference, in 2022, the sector coordinated to submit tens of important documents and projects to competent agencies for issuance, including two draft laws and six resolutions of the National Assembly Standing Committee, along with 10 decrees and decisions of the Government and the PM.
It proposed adjuಌsting the monthly base wage for civil servants from 1.49 m♔illion VND (63.08 USD) to 1.8 million VND.

Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh on October 19 chaired the second meeting of the Government Steering Committee for Administrative Reform to assess the results of its operations in the first nine months of 2022, and discuss measures to carry out tasks for the remaining months.
Administrative reform must be stepped up and conducted concertedly at all levels to match the reality, Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh said while chairing a meeting of the Government Steering Committee for Administrative Reform in Hanoi on October 19.
The Ministry of Finance (MoF) has introduced many favourable policies on tax, fees and land rent to ease the financial burdens on individuals and firms, boosting economic recovery, according to Deputy Minister of Finance Cao Anh Tuan.
Ha expressed his hope that cooperation in science and technology, agriculture, and natural resources would emerge as new focal points and engines of growth in Vietnam–China relations.

Right on the same day, the ministry issued its highest-level travel warning, urging Vietnamese citizens not to travel to Israel or Iran, and advised those already in these countries to swiftly consider evacuation or relocation plans.
From the struggles against colonialists and imperialists to the period of Doi moi (renewal) and international integration, the Vietnamese revolutionary press has always played a pioneering role on the ideological and cultural front, he said.

The National Assembly on June 18 passed the law amending and supplementing a number of articles of the Law on Product and Goods Quality, with 408 out of 420 participating deputies voting in favour, accounting for 85.36% of the total.
