Deputy Minister of Industry and Trade Do Thang Hai - spokesman of the Ministry of Industry and Trade said that after the leave period, Ms. Ho Thi Kim Thoa wished and wanted to resign from this agency.

Previously, on July 28, 2017, Ms. Thoa submitted a resignation letter to the leaders of the Ministry of Industry and Trade. However, at that time, Ms. Thoa's letter was not approved because she was still a senior official under the management of the Central Secretariat.

With the Prime Minister’s decision to dismiss her from the position of Deputy Minister on August 16, Ms. Ho Thi Kim Thoa became a regular civil servant of the Ministry of Industry and Trade. Therefore, the decision to dismiss Ms. Thoa or not is under the authority of the Ministry of Industry and Trade’s leadership.

A spokesperson for the Ministry of Industry and Trade said: "Currently, the Ministry of Industry and Trade is coordinating with Ms. Thoa to complete procedures and resolve the matter according to current legal regulations."

According to another source, Ms. Ho Thi Kim Thoa sent her resignation request to the leaders of the Ministry of Industry and Trade for the second time after the Prime Minister dismissed her from her position and her leave ended. Therefore, the settlement of Ms. Thoa’s request will be carried out in accordance with the law.

This source also said that since being dismissed from her position, even though her leave has ended, Ms. Thoa has rarely been seen working at the Ministry of Industry and Trade office.
