Welcome to the "National Festival"

On the morning of June 30th, the entire nation joyfully celebrated a momentous event, marking a historical turning point in the country's construction and development. Simultaneously, localities nationwide will solemnly hold ceremonies to announce Resolution 202/2025/QH15 of the National Assembly on the reorganization of provincial-level administrative units. In Kien Giang, a ceremony will be held to announce the National Assembly's resolution and the Central Committee's decision on the establishment of the (new) An Giang Provincial Party Committee.

New position, new aspirations.

According to Resolution 202/2025/QH15, after the reorganization, the country will have 34 provincial-level administrative units, including 6 centrally-administered cities and 28 provinces. Of these, 52 provinces and cities will be reorganized to form 23 new provincial-level administrative units. An Giang (new) is honored to be one of the newly established provincial-level administrative units.

The merger of An Giang and Kien Giang provinces into the (new) An Giang province is not only administratively significant, but also represents a connection of historical, cultural, and human values. An Giang and Kien Giang, two regions deeply intertwined throughout history, share a common fertile southern land and a shared vision of building a prosperous and beautiful homeland. This merger will create a superior combined strength, a tremendous driving force for socio-economic development, ensuring national defense and security, and building a clean and strong political system.

With its strategic geographical location, abundant natural resources, and the diligent and creative traditions of its people, the new An Giang province promises to be an important growth pole for the Mekong Delta region and the whole country. The new An Giang province is one of the localities with the largest natural area in the region, with nearly 9,900 km2 and a population of over 4.95 million people; it comprises 102 communes, wards, and special economic zones. This provides favorable conditions for comprehensive planning and the development of key economic sectors such as high-tech agriculture, ecotourism, marine economy, trade, and services. The merger will optimize resource allocation, attract investment, promote regional linkages, create new value chains, and bring practical benefits to the people...

We believe that the (new) An Giang province will become a bright spot in socio-economic development, contributing to the overall development of the region and the country.”

Chairman of the Long Xuyen City People's Committee, Tran Minh Duc, shared: "The reorganization of commune-level administrative units, reducing the number of commune-level administrative units nationwide by nearly 67%, will help streamline and improve the efficiency of the administrative apparatus. We are very excited and ready to contribute to building a government that best serves the people."

We joyfully welcome a new chapter.

To ensure that the announcement of the Central Committee's resolutions and decisions truly becomes a national celebration, the leaders of An Giang and Kien Giang provinces are urgently focusing on reviewing and assigning specific tasks to ensure the ceremony is a resounding success. The announcement ceremony will be held simultaneously at two locations: the Kien Giang Provincial Cultural and Arts Center Hall and the An Giang Provincial Hall. The ceremony will begin at 8:00 AM on June 30th and will be broadcast live on An Giang and Kien Giang Provincial Radio and Television stations.

At the ceremony, the following will be announced: the Politburo's Resolution on the establishment of An Giang province; the Politburo's Decision on the establishment of the An Giang Provincial Party Committee; the Politburo's Decision on the appointment of the Executive Committee, Standing Committee, Secretary, and Deputy Secretary of the An Giang Provincial Party Committee for the 2020-2025 term; the Secretariat's Decision on the appointment of the Inspection Committee, its Chairman, and Vice-Chairmen for the 2020-2025 term; and the Prime Minister's Decision on the appointment of the Chairman and Vice-Chairmen of the An Giang Provincial People's Committee… These decisions reflect the trust and expectations of the Central Government towards the (new) An Giang province.

Ms. Nguyen Thi Tuyet Mai (residing in Long Xuyen City) expressed: “I have lived in An Giang almost my entire life. Hearing the news of the two provinces merging, I am very excited. This is certainly an opportunity for my homeland to develop more strongly, and for our children and grandchildren to have better opportunities for education and work. We have faith in the leadership of the Party and the State, and we are sure that things will get better and better.”

“I think this is a breakthrough to enhance management efficiency and attract investment. With the combined resources and potential of both provinces, I believe the (new) An Giang will have more opportunities for tourism and industrial development, helping to create more jobs for the younger generation,” shared Phan Thanh Hai (a final-year student at An Giang University, Vietnam National University Ho Chi Minh City).

June 30th marks a new chapter for the (new) An Giang province. Although many challenges lie ahead, with the wise leadership of the Party, the effective management and administration of the State, the unity of the entire political system, and especially the solidarity and aspiration of all the people, we are confident that the (new) An Giang will steadily advance on its path of development, achieving even greater accomplishments and contributing to the increasingly prosperous development of Vietnam.

June 30th will go down in history as a significant milestone, opening a new chapter in the restructuring and streamlining of the state apparatus, and improving the effectiveness and efficiency of state management. The operation of a two-tiered government (provincial and commune levels) is a strategic decision, demonstrating the foresight of the Party and the State, aimed at optimizing resources, reducing administrative burdens, and creating more favorable conditions for citizens and businesses.
