Recently, at the Conference on the Implementation of the Plan to Establish the Ministry of Agriculture and Environment, the Steering Committee for the Merger of the Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment (MONRE) and the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development (MARD) (referred to as the Steering Committee) presented a summary report, Document No. 08/CV-BCĐ, on the organization and implementation of tasks related to restructuring and consolidating the organizational apparatus.
Accordingly, the Steering Committee has urged Party committees, Party organizations, agencies, organizations, and units at all levels - especially leaders and heads of agencies - to set an example and proactively implement their assigned tasks. They are expected to prioritize key tasks, ensure smooth coordination, and swiftly execute the necessary steps under the principle of "building while running."
Party committees, Party organizations, agencies, and units must emphasize political and ideological guidance for civil servants, public employees, and workers during the restructuring process. The importance of setting an example, particularly among leaders and Party members in management positions, must be upheld. Additionally, the rights and benefits of affected civil servants and public employees must be addressed in accordance with state regulations.
Throughout the process, adherence to the principles and regulations of the Party, state laws, operational guidelines, and directives from the Steering Committee, as well as practical demands, is essential.
The restructuring and consolidation process must be carried out comprehensively alongside other related tasks, including personnel arrangements, legal system reviews, financial and asset management, infrastructure and information system planning, and the development and implementation of new regulations. These measures aim to ensure that the newly established ministry operates smoothly and efficiently.
The task of streamlining and restructuring the organizational apparatus is complex, sensitive, and directly impacts individuals within each organization. Therefore, it requires solidarity, consensus, and strong commitment from all Party members, officials, and public employees. A collective willingness to set aside personal interests for the greater good of the agency, the sector, and the country is crucial.
