At the handover ceremony, the Editorial Board of SGGP Newspaper presented administrative maps of Ho Chi Minh City at the provincial and commune levels to wards and communes for display at their offices.

SGGP newspaper also plans to continue distributing maps to all communes, wards, and special zones throughout Ho Chi Minh City.

The printing and distribution of maps is an initiative of the Saigon Giai Phong Newspaper, aimed at helping readers access and visualize in more detail the merger of provinces and cities nationwide, as well as the reorganization of commune-level administrative units in Ho Chi Minh City. Specifically, the Saigon Giai Phong Newspaper collaborated with the Center for Geographic Spatial Data Infrastructure (Vietnam Surveying, Mapping and Geographic Information Agency) to print and distribute provincial and commune-level administrative maps of Ho Chi Minh City to its readers.

Expressing his gratitude to the leaders and representatives of the wards and communes who came to the SGGP Newspaper, journalist Nguyen Khac Van hoped that the gift would be meaningful to the localities, especially in the early days when Ho Chi Minh City, along with the rest of the country, is implementing the reorganization of administrative units.

On the other hand, with 34 provinces and cities across the country operating under a new administrative system with the spirit of "reorganizing the nation," journalist Nguyen Khac Van believes that the gift of maps adds further significance to this important period.

Previously, as soon as the National Assembly approved the resolution on the reorganization of provincial-level administrative units in 2025, SGGP Newspaper printed 50,200 copies of the Provincial Administrative Map to give to readers. And on the day the new administrative units officially began operating (July 1st), SGGP Newspaper continued to cooperate in printing and sending to readers copies of the Commune-level Administrative Map of Ho Chi Minh City.
