On February 18, the National Assembly in Vietnam passed the Law on Government Organization (amended) with a high approval rate of 96.86%. The law redefines the position and functions of the Government, stating that it is the highest state administrative body of the country, responsible to the National Assembly. The Government consists of the Prime Minister, Deputy Prime Ministers, Ministers, and Heads of ministerial-level agencies, with the organizational structure consisting of ministries and ministerial-level agencies.
The law emphasizes compliance with the Constitution and laws, democratic centralism, gender equality, and decentralized powers between the Government and local authorities. It aims to modernize the national governance system, promote transparency, and serve the people. The law also sets guidelines for the working regime of the Government, decision-making processes, and the form of operations.
The Law on Government Organization (amended) will come into effect from March 1, 2025, replacing the previous version. Transitional provisions require adjustments to existing laws and regulations within 2 years to align with the new law. In the interim, the Government is authorized to issue legal documents to ensure the continued functioning of the Prime Minister, ministers, and heads of ministerial-level agencies.
Overall, the law aims to streamline the government structure, improve efficiency, and promote transparency in governance. It emphasizes the importance of upholding the rule of law, implementing democratic principles, and serving the best interests of the people and businesses in Vietnam.
