To operate the new government effectively, Director of the Department of Home Affairs Tran Dinh Canh suggested focusing on four important contents in the immediate future: Arranging cadres and civil servants according to departments and units, in the correct job positions and announced payroll; combining with the arrangement of equipment and means of work for cadres and civil servants, especially those departments that must immediately start working; reviewing the handover minutes, orienting the tasks that need to be prioritized for immediate implementation; paying attention to the departments that directly contact and resolve administrative procedures with citizens and organizations.
