CUSTOMS SECTOR PREPARES FOR ORGANIZATIONAL RESTRUCTURING
On December 10, the General Department of Vietnam Customs (GDC) convened a conference to deliberate on the organizational structure of the customs agency.
During the conference, the General Department underscored the importance of implementing Resolution 18-NQ/TW, which outlines the plan and direction for organizational restructuring and streamlining.
The conference reviewed draft reports on the organizational restructuring of the GDC and related plans for amending the organizational structure, decentralizing personnel management, and the Party organization model. It also covered plans for amending, supplementing and replacing relevant legal documents, upgrading the information technology system, arranging infrastructure, managing assets and equipment, and financial management.
To prepare for the organizational restructuring, the GDC is amending and supplementing relevant legal documents and ensuring the necessary conditions for the information technology system. This will allow the new organizational structure to be implemented immediately without affecting the import-export activities of businesses.
GDC General Director Nguyen Van Tho urged all units to focus on completing key tasks and achieving assigned targets. He also emphasized maintaining and enhancing discipline and coordination with functional forces (such as the police and market management) to improve management efficiency.
The conference also stressed the importance of thoroughly communicating the contents of Resolution 18-NQ/TW to all officers and employees to ensure a correct and comprehensive understanding of the directives from higher authorities.
