On April 19, Nam Dinh City People's Committee held a conference to meet with voters to collect opinions regarding the merger of provinces and communes.
In the context of the three provinces of Ha Nam , Nam Dinh and Ninh Binh collecting public opinions on the plan to merge into a new province, many voters in Nam Dinh have proposed the name "Ha Nam Ninh" for the new administrative unit.
According to opinions, this is a highly appreciated option in terms of history and representation. “Ha Nam Ninh” was the official name of the province during the period 1975–1991. Although more than three decades have passed since the separation, this name still exists in the memories of many generations, becoming a symbol of a period of solidarity and common development.
