Local administrative and industrial developments in Vietnam

In Dien Bien province, the Department of Industry and Trade has initiated the evaluation process for the 2026 typical rural industrial products. A total of 39 products from 21 units are participating in the selection process via the RISEP digital system. The entries are divided into two main categories: handicrafts, comprising 3 products, and agricultural, forestry, fishery, and food processing, which accounts for 36 products. The council aims to select 15 outstanding products to highlight the region's manufacturing potential and promote transparency through digital management.

Meanwhile, in Ca Mau province, authorities are accelerating the update of the job position database. During a recent conference, Permanent Vice Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee Lam Van Bi emphasized the importance of this task in streamlining the state administrative apparatus. The initiative aims to resolve practical difficulties in determining human resource needs and technical issues related to electronic forms and data connectivity. Local units have been instructed to complete the database updates on the general system by November 5, 2026.
