Ms. Tran Tue Hien, Chairwoman of the People’s Committee of Binh Phuoc province, emphasized that the rearrangement of administrative units at the district and communal levels for the period of 2023-2025 is considered an important political task, implementing the Party’s guidelines and the Central Government’s directives on administrative unit rearrangement to contribute to streamlining the organizational apparatus, downsizing the workforce, reducing state budget expenditure, expanding development space, and promoting the local potential and strengths.
According to Ms. Hien, in the past time, the locality has proactively and actively deployed the construction of the project and created consensus among officials, party members, civil servants, public employees, and the people. Recently, the collection of voters’ opinions in the localities where the rearrangement will take place has achieved a high consensus among the people (all above 96% of voters agreed)
At the meeting, the People’s Council of Binh Phuoc province also passed two thematic resolutions: Resolution on adjusting the provincial planning for the period of 2021-2030, with a vision to 2050; and Resolution on agreeing on the plan to borrow from the government’s foreign loans and the repayment source to invest in the project of modernizing irrigation to adapt to climate change in the province.
