This date also marks the birth of the office machinery that assists state administrative agencies.

To recognize this important event, in 2004, the Prime Minister decided to designate August 28 each year as the Traditional Day of the Office of State Administrative Agencies. This occasion serves as a time for the staff, civil servants, and employees of state administrative offices at all levels to reflect on the history of their construction and development, honoring the silent yet significant contributions of various collectives and individuals throughout the years. It also reaffirms their confidence and determination to continue and promote this tradition in the new era.
