At the meeting of the Provincial People's Council, 100% of delegates present voted in favor of these two important resolutions.
Regarding the merger policy, after the merger, the new Ho Chi Minh City will have a natural area of about 6,772.59 km² and a population of more than 13.7 million people. The administrative and political center is located at 86 Le Thanh Ton Street, Ho Chi Minh City. The merged city will operate under a two-tier government model, expected to become a new growth pole not only in the Southeast region but also in the whole country.
According to Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee and Chairman of the Provincial People's Council Pham Viet Thanh, this administrative unit arrangement is not only aimed at streamlining the apparatus and saving resources, but also creating favorable conditions for urban development, administrative reform, and improving the quality of service to the people. The Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee requested the Provincial People's Committee to urgently coordinate with the People's Committees of Ho Chi Minh City and Binh Duong Province to complete the arrangement project and submit it to the Government before April 30 as prescribed.
This policy not only expands development space for Ba Ria - Vung Tau but also contributes to creating new momentum for the Southeast region's connectivity, aiming to become a dynamic economic center with international competitiveness.
