According to Phuc, the Government Office has provided consultations for the Government and the PM, especially in natural disaster combat, rescue operations, public investment disbursement, preparations for documents to be submitted at the 13th National Party Congress, and issues regarding national security and sovereignty.

He spoke highly of the office’s coordination with the Ministry of Justice in completing policies and institutions, including 19 draft laws, 153 decrees and 39 decisions by the PM.

Notably, the achievements in administrative reform and e-Government building have significantly contributed to cutting costs, facilitating business, and reducing corrupt acts, he said.

Minister-Chairman of the Government Office Mai Tien Dung reported that up to 3,893 business conditions and 6,776 commodities subject to thematic inspections have been cut or simplified, helping to save 6.3 trillion VND (272.13 million USD) each year.
