Today, resolutions and decisions regarding mergers and personnel appointments at the provincial and communal levels will be announced.
According to our reporters, the localities were well-prepared for this historic event, which took place today.
Speaking to Tien Phong, National Assembly Deputy Bui Hoai Son shared that this moment marks a significant milestone in the reform of the state administrative apparatus.
“This is not just an organizational reform but the beginning of an era of administrative governance that is proactive and dedicated to the people. Every decision will be closer to the lives of the people, and every policy will carry the pulse of reality,” said Deputy Bui Hoai Son.
Earlier, on June 12, at the 9th session of the 15th National Assembly, a resolution on the rearrangement of provincial-level administrative units in 2025 was passed.
As of the effective date of the resolution (June 12), there are 34 provincial-level administrative units in the country, including 28 provinces and 6 cities. Of these, 19 provinces and 4 cities were formed after the rearrangement, while 11 provinces and cities remained unchanged.
The resolution also urged competent authorities to promptly carry out the necessary preparatory work to ensure that the local governments in the provinces and cities formed after the rearrangement officially operate from July 1, 2025.
On June 5, the National Assembly Standing Committee also approved the merger plan for communal-level administrative units nationwide. As a result, the number of communal-level units decreased from 10,035 to 3,321.
According to Minister of Home Affairs Pham Thi Thanh Tra, the rearrangement and streamlining of agencies, organizations, and units after the merger ensure uniformity and are linked to the rearrangement of Party organizations, the Fatherland Front, and socio-political organizations at the same level.
