Addressing the event, Prime Minister Nguyen Xuan Phuc said that in principle, the urban administration models in Ho Chi Minh City and Da Nang should meet the demands of each locality and ensure the unity and synchronicity of the State administrative apparatus from the central to local levels. From the pilot application of the new models, the two cities should reform the method of leadership and direction of the Party committees and administrations, while ensuring the concentrated and united management of the municipal People’s Committee and its head to suit the renovations in the operation of wards and districts towards higher dynamism and efficiency, thus meeting the demands of enterprises and locals, he said. He asked the two cities to speed up the building of e-government and the reform of administrative procedures as well as policies for public servants.
