New Gov’t has 18 ministries, 4 ministerial-level agencies
VOV.VN - The National Assembly on July 23 morning approved a resolution on the organizational structure of the Government for the 2021-2026 tenure, which is comprised of 18 ministries and four ministerial-level agencies.
All 470 deputies attending the plenary session in Hanoi voted in favour of the resolution.
In a report submitted to the legislature one day earlier, Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh proposed maintaining the status quo of the Government structure for the 2021-2026 term.
According to the PM, there were also suggestions for renaming or merging a number of ministries and agencies during the process of building the organizational structure of the Government.
However, he said the Government decided to retain the structure of the current government in the 2021-2026 term to meet assigned development tasks, including epidemic prevention and economic recovery at present, as well as maintaining national defence and security.
