The conclusion of the Politburo and the Secretariat on key tasks for streamlining organizational apparatuses and administrative units by June 30 was mentioned in Conclusion No. 155.

The Politburo and Secretariat are in agreement with the report on the situation and progress made in streamlining the organizational apparatus of the political system in line with the spirit of the 11th Plenum of the 13th Party Central Committee’s Resolution. They also concur with the proposals and recommendations presented in the reports regarding tasks that need to be focused on from now until June 30 to ensure the successful achievement of set goals.

The Politburo and Secretariat instruct to actively listen to and promptly address responsible opinions from organizations and individuals. They also emphasize the need to carefully review and effectively implement policies regarding officials, public employees, and laborers affected by the streamlining process, especially those from ethnic minorities and religious backgrounds.

The Politburo and Secretariat direct attention to managing, monitoring, and urging officials and party members to set an example by strictly adhering to labor discipline and striving to fulfill their tasks. They also instruct resolute handling of any violations or wrongdoing in the organizational and personnel work during the streamlining process, and rectifying the situation of working perfunctorily, which affects the functioning of the apparatus.

The conclusion emphasizes: “Strict adherence to regulations on state secret protection, discipline in speaking and managing and using information on social networks; proactive prevention of leaks of state and internal secrets related to streamlining and streamlining the apparatus.”

To promptly address difficulties and problems that arise during the streamlining process and ensure the smooth operation of the two-level local government as per the set schedule and quality standards, the Politburo and Secretariat assign Central Party committees, the Government Party Committee, Party Committees of ministries, ministerial-level agencies, provincial and municipal Party Committees to promptly establish standing offices (focal points) to receive, guide, and address contents, proposals, and recommendations from agencies, units, and localities.

These standing offices will function from now until the end of October 2025. During their operation, they will closely monitor, promptly grasp, and proactively resolve issues within their competence. They will also synthesize, report, and advise competent authorities to consider and resolve or make appropriate adjustments, ensuring no impact on the general progress.
