Vietnam's Communist Party is launching a significant reduction of its government size, aiming for a 20% decrease in ministries, agencies, and civil service as part of administrative reforms—the most extensive since the 1980s. This initiative follows global trends seen in countries like Argentina and the U.S., where leaders advocate for smaller government. The reforms include abolishing five ministries, merging others, and eliminating government-related media outlets, all in an effort to streamline bureaucracy, cut costs, and address a growing budget deficit. The overhaul is seen as urgent and necessary, coinciding with a leadership reshuffle set for 2026.
