On 6 Feb 2026, the Ministry of Justice held a workshop on “Innovating Administrative Procedure Control alongside Institutional Improvement and Modernising Public Governance,” chaired by Deputy Minister Nguyen Thanh Tinh. Representing EuroCham Vietnam was Vice Chair Nguyen Hai Minh and Head of Hanoi Office cum External Relations Manager Van Nguyen.
The workshop reviewed major achievements in administrative procedure (Thu Tuc Hanh Chinh – TTHC) reform, including the publication of the national TTHC database and the simplification of nearly 5,000 procedures, saving about 30 trillion VND annually. It also highlighted progress in streamlining business‑related regulations, with over 3,000 procedures and conditions simplified and more than 87% of approved simplification plans implemented by January 2026.
Participants discussed ongoing bottlenecks in policy direction, regulatory design, and implementation. The Deputy Minister emphasised 3 areas:
- Shifting to a rights‑based, data‑driven, citizen‑centred approach;
- Completing national and sectoral databases in 2026;
- Enhancing digital TTHC systems;
- Improving transparency through a digital registry; and
- Applying real‑time monitoring and AI‑based analysis to modernise administrative management.
EuroCham will continue to accompany the government in providing data and practice-based business insights to contribute to streamlining administrative procedures in Vietnam.
