On June 18th, during a meeting with General Secretary To Lam, leaders of Ho Chi Minh City, Binh Duong, and Ba Ria-Vung Tau reported on their socio-economic development in the first half of the year and proposed several mechanisms to boost growth post-merger.
General Secretary To Lam speaks at the meeting.
Ho Chi Minh City’s Deputy Secretary of the Party Committee, Nguyen Thanh Nghi, proposed that the Central Government soon issue special mechanisms for the city post-merger.
Specifically, Ho Chi Minh City, Binh Duong, and Ba Ria-Vung Tau suggested that the National Assembly and the Government allow Ho Chi Minh City to retain all land fund revenues from 2026 to 2030 to invest in infrastructure. They also proposed that the National Assembly soon issue a resolution on establishing an international financial center in Ho Chi Minh City to boost socio-economic development.
Ba Ria-Vung Tau province also reported on two important projects to materialize Resolution 24, including piloting a number of special mechanisms and policies for Con Dao district and establishing a free trade area associated with Cai Mep Ha seaport. Both projects have been completed and submitted to the competent authorities. The province proposed that the Politburo and the Secretariat soon consider and promulgate them to create a new development momentum.
The leaders of the three localities also proposed that the Central Government soon allocate resources to invest in a multi-mode transport system to reduce the burden on road transport and shorten travel time. Priority should be given to investing in urban railway routes such as the Suoi Tien – New Binh Duong City route and other routes connecting the region.

Ho Chi Minh City also proposed that the Government soon issue a “green channel” mechanism to attract strategic investors, both domestic and foreign, in the fields of planning, construction permitting, labor, science and technology, and digital transformation.
According to Mr. Nghi, following the directions of the Politburo, the Secretariat, and the Standing Committee of the Ho Chi Minh City Party Committee, they have coordinated with the Standing Committees of the Binh Duong and Ba Ria-Vung Tau Party Committees to evaluate officials and build personnel plans for the Party Committee, the Standing Committee, and the post-merger organization. These plans have been submitted to the Central Organization Commission for appraisal.
Regarding organizational apparatus and administrative units, the three localities have proactively and urgently implemented the Party’s guidelines on streamlining the apparatus to ensure efficiency and suitability for the new development phase.
Ho Chi Minh City has completed a proposal to eliminate the district-level administration and rearrange communal-level administrative units, reporting it to the Government. The city has also developed specific guidelines to ensure a smooth transition without interruptions. Additionally, the city has finalized a proposal to terminate the operations of the current district- and commune-level Party Committees and establish commune-level Party Committees directly under the Ho Chi Minh City Party Committee.
Crucial tasks such as digitizing documents, creating new administrative boundary maps at the commune level, rearranging specialized agencies at the provincial level, restructuring press agencies, and rearranging public non-business units have been synchronously implemented by Ho Chi Minh City. Since June 6th, the software for the Internet-based Operational Information System has been officially operated within the Ho Chi Minh City Party Committee bloc.
Furthermore, Ho Chi Minh City has promoted administrative reforms and completed the Information System for Handling Administrative Procedures to ensure continuous and effective service for people and businesses. The city has also implemented decentralization and delegation of authority between the People’s Committees and Chairpersons of communal-level People’s Committees, reviewing the competencies of different sectors to prevent overlaps, omissions, or interruptions.
The city pays special attention to supporting policies for officials, civil servants, public employees, and laborers affected by the reorganization process, including housing, vocational training, job introduction, and startup capital support.
Post-merger, Ho Chi Minh City has an area of 6,772.65 km2, a population of over 14 million, and 168 administrative units directly under its authority, forming a new supercity in the Southeast region.
