RECOGNIZE EXISTING PROBLEMS AND LIMITATIONS TO OVERCOME THEM

After listening to the reports and discussions, the Provincial People's Committee unanimously approved the draft reports. Regarding administrative reform, Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee Nguyen Duc Trung said that the results of implementing Project 06 are lessons in clearly defining goals, clearly assigning people and tasks, and regularly checking, supervising, and urging when implementing other tasks.

On the other hand, the province has basically completed and achieved many positive results in implementing 3 major projects: Job position project; Project on rearranging administrative units at district and commune levels for the period 2023-2025 and Project on expanding administrative boundaries and urban space of Vinh city.

Although there have been changes, there are still delays, shirking of responsibility, unclear advice, and especially violations of discipline and administrative discipline.

Emphasizing that administrative reform is a regular and continuous task, the Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee requested that all levels and sectors must look frankly at the shortcomings and limitations, especially the PCI and PAPI indexes, to propose solutions to overcome them.

Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee Nguyen Duc Trung also highly appreciated the results of ensuring traffic safety and order, as shown by the reduction in traffic accidents in all three criteria. The work of preventing and combating corruption and negativity has been strengthened, with many drastic measures being implemented.

However, in assessing the existing problems and limitations, the sectors need to clearly identify which agencies and units are not focused or determined in leadership and direction; not speak in generalities.

On the other hand, it is necessary to enhance the responsibility of leaders in receiving citizens, resolving complaints and denunciations. Timely and thoroughly resolve new cases arising from the grassroots, not allowing resentment and discontent among the people.

Regarding the work of preventing and combating crime and law violations, the head of the Provincial People's Committee highly appreciated the active role of the Provincial Police in successfully solving many cases and implementing many projects that were highly appreciated by the Ministry of Public Security.
