VietNamNet Bridge – Several structural proposals of the new cabinet will be submitted to the National Assembly (NA) for consideration in the NA’s upcoming session, said Deputy Minister of Home Affairs Nguyen Duy Thang.

Thang said on July 18, that the Ministry of Home Affairs has prepared several proposals on the structure of the new cabinet to report to the NA for selection. The NA will decide the specific number of deputy prime ministers.

There will have deputy prime ministers in charge of economics, culture-society, diplomatic and home affairs. “The government will consult the National whether that division is appropriate or not,” Thang said.

He also said that fundamentally, the model of the current government is commented to be reasonable. However, there are some overlapped missions between ministries, for example in management of food hygiene, land, forest and river basins.

The structure of the new cabinet will still base on the principle: assigning one task to one agency to preside over and clearly defining the agencies in coordination. The government will not have agencies that perform state management functions. Only ministries have state management functions.

The current cabinet structure includes the Prime Minister and five Deputy PMs. The NA will elect the new PM on July 26.

At the 11th National Party Congress, PM Nguyen Tan Dung and three Deputy PMs – Nguyen Sinh Hung, Hoang Trung Hai, Nguyen Thien Nhan – and 12 ministers out of the incumbent ministers were elected to the Party Central Committee.

In many recent terms, all ministers are member of the Party Central Committee.
