Hanoi implements administrative restructuring and departmental mergers

Hanoi administrative reform departmental mergers personnel restructuring Hanoi People's Council government reorganization

Hanoi is undergoing a significant administrative restructuring, involving the merger of several specialized departments and a reorganization of the City People's Committee. The Hanoi People's Council has approved a plan to reduce the number of specialized departments under the People's Committee to 14. Key mergers include the Department of Planning and Architecture into the Department of Construction, and the Department of Tourism into the Department of Culture, Sports and Tourism.

As part of this reorganization, the Hanoi People's Council dismissed 11 department heads from their roles as members of the City People's Committee. This move is intended to align with a new structure that limits the number of People's Committee members to no more than six individuals. Officials stated that these dismissals do not stem from misconduct or violations by the personnel.

The restructuring has also impacted recruitment processes. The Hanoi Housing Management Center, under the Department of Construction, has suspended the recruitment of 145 civil servant candidates pending the completion of the departmental mergers.

Additionally, several leadership appointments were announced. Trần Đức Hải has been appointed as the Director of the Hanoi Department of Industry and Trade, and Nguyễn Thanh Liêm has been named Director of the Hanoi Press and Broadcasting Agency.
