Previously, the apparatus was created mainly for management and if it could not be managed, it was banned. But now the mindset is to create and serve the people and the development of the country. The arrangement of the administrative apparatus is not only a matter of streamlining but also brings new thinking and new shaping of the development of each locality, each region, each province and the whole country, according to the General Secretary.
The General Secretary assessed that the above initial results were achieved thanks to the high solidarity and unity, the determination of the entire Party and the entire political system, the efforts of each grassroots Party organization, each Party member, and especially the support and response of the majority of the people, including veteran cadres and war veterans.
