Vietnam's northern port city of Hai Phong has topped the Public Administration Reform Index (PAR Index) ranking for the first time in 2021.

The government's Steering Committee for Administrative Reform announced the index ranking results in Hanoi on Wednesday, marking the tenth year in a row that 17 ministries and ministerial-level agencies, as well as the administration of 63 cities and provinces, have been evaluated.

The PAR Index is identified through eight component indexes: management of administrative reform process; formulating and organizing the implementation of legal documents; administrative reform; organizational reform of the state administrative apparatus; building and improving the quality of cadres, civil servants and public employees; renovating the financial mechanism for administrative agencies and public non-business units; administrative modernization; implementing the "one-stop, multi-service" mechanism.
