- The State structure of the Socialist Republic of Vietnam includes four levels: Central, provincial, district and communal.

- At the central level is the National Assembly, the Country’s President, the Government, People’s Supreme Court and the Supreme People’s Procuracy.

The National Assembly is the highest representative organ of the people and the highest organ of State power of the Socialist Republic of Vietnam. Members of the National Assembly are directly elected by the people with working terms of 5 years.

The National Assembly has the authority to elect the Country’s President, the Prime Minister of the Government, the President of the People’s Supreme Court and the Director of the Supreme People’s Procuracy.

- At local government levels (in provinces, districts and communes), the People’s Councils are directly elected by the people with 5-year terms. People’s Committees which are elected by the People’s Councils are State administrative agencies at local levels.

- The Central Government and People’s Committees at all levels form the State administrative system in Vietnam.
