Previously, presenting the Government's proposal on the arrangement of provincial-level administrative units in the morning meeting on June 11, Minister of Home Affairs Pham Thi Thanh Tra said that, based on the current situation and development orientation of 63 provinces and cities nationwide, the Government has developed 23 arrangement plans for 52 provincial-level administrative units to form 23 new provincial-level administrative units.

As a result of the reorganization, the country has 34 provincial-level administrative units including 6 centrally-run cities and 28 provinces. All 23/23 provincial-level administrative units formed after the reorganization have met the standard orientation of provincial-level administrative units as prescribed in Article 4 of Resolution No. 76/2025/UBTVQH15.

Speaking at the morning discussion, Vice Chairman of the National Assembly Nguyen Khac Dinh stated that the merger of provincial administrative units had been thoroughly discussed by the Central Committee, the Politburo, and the Secretariat; each comrade in the Politburo and the Secretariat was assigned to be in charge of each province and to work with each province.

Regarding the draft Resolution of the National Assembly, the Vice Chairman of the National Assembly said that the Resolution of the National Assembly will take effect from the date the National Assembly votes to pass it so that the provinces have time to arrange and assign staff as well as stabilize other tasks; it is agreed that the new provinces and communes will officially come into operation from July 1, 2025.

Thus, compared to the previously planned roadmap, the voting to pass the Resolution was 1.5 months earlier, meeting practical requirements in localities.
