Mr. Vu Van Yen, Deputy Director of the Department of Home Affairs: The workload is huge, and in a short time, the unit's leaders, officers and civil servants must make every effort to complete the assigned tasks in advising and organizing the implementation of the contents of administrative unit mergers. On April 15, the National Assembly Standing Committee issued Resolution No. 76/2025/UBTVQH15 on the arrangement of administrative units in 2025. Two days later, Bac Kan urgently organized to collect public opinions on the draft Project on merging commune-level administrative units and merging Bac Kan and Thai Nguyen provinces with the rate of voters agreeing up to nearly 100%. The different options were proactively developed by the sector in advance to comply with the Central Government's orientation on the rate of commune-level administrative units that need to be merged.

Mr. Ha Kim Oanh, Chairman of the People's Committee of Bach Thong district, shared: The entire political system has joined in the propaganda and mobilization to help people understand and agree with the Party's policy on administrative apparatus arrangement. Each vote represents the people's opinion, expressing their trust and expectation in the country's new development step.

Implementing the direction of the Central Committee and the Standing Committees of Thai Nguyen and Bac Kan Provincial Party Committees, the agencies and units of the two provinces have proactively coordinated to advise the Standing Committees of the Provincial Party Committees of the two provinces to effectively lead the work of propaganda, dissemination, and implementation of documents of the Central Committee, the Politburo, the Secretariat, and the Central Steering Committee on the arrangement of provincial-level administrative units. The Standing Committees of the two provinces have had 3 working sessions on the arrangement and merger of administrative units, clearly demonstrating a positive and proactive spirit in performing assigned tasks. The two sides have coordinated to develop plans for the arrangement of administrative headquarters of administrative units after the arrangement; prepare to arrange and perfect the organizational apparatus; arrange and assign cadres, civil servants, public employees, workers, etc.

In the coming time, the province will closely follow the timelines in the plan, ensuring that the work is carried out on schedule, especially important timelines such as: Before June 30, 2025, the amendment of the Constitution and related laws must be completed; the operation of new district and commune-level administrative units that have just come into operation from July 1, 2025 according to the transitional roadmap and completed before August 15, 2025; the merger of provinces must be completed before September 1, 2025, etc.
