The two provinces have high consensus on the principles of building a merger project, paying special attention to specific factors such as historical traditions, culture, ethnicity, religion, beliefs, customs, practices, geographical location, natural conditions, residential communities, etc. At the same time, focusing on the requirements of ensuring national defense and security, promoting socio-economic development, sustainable poverty reduction, and ensuring the effective operation of the political system after the merger.
The two sides also discussed and agreed on important issues such as specific policies between the two provinces, plans for organizational structure, resource allocation, personnel work after the merger, especially the upgrading of National Highway 24 and investment in the Quang Ngai - Kon Tum expressway to ensure effective infrastructure connection between regions of the new province after the merger.
The Provincial Party Committee's Organizing Committee and the Department of Home Affairs of the two provinces are assigned to receive comments and suggestions, complete the Project and Implementation Plan, and ensure progress for submission to the Ministry of Home Affairs and the Government before May 1, 2025.
To effectively implement the merger policy, the Standing Committees of the two provinces have agreed to establish 6 joint working groups, including: Working group on congress documents; Working group on administrative units; Working group on organization, apparatus, and staffing; Working group on cadres; Working group on local policies; Working group on finance, budget, headquarters, and public assets. Quang Ngai province will be the unit that signs and issues the establishment decisions and assigns specific tasks to the working groups.
The working groups will preside over the preparation of content for regular meetings between the Standing Committees of Kon Tum and Quang Ngai Provincial Party Committees, with a frequency of 3 weeks/time, rotating locations in the two provinces. The meetings are expected to last until September 1, 2025, to ensure close coordination and timely resolution of problems arising during the merger preparation process.
In addition, the two provinces also agreed to assign focal officers in charge of coordination between relevant agencies, ensuring smooth and convenient work exchange.
Speaking at the conference, Member of the Party Central Committee, Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee, Chairman of the Kon Tum Provincial People's Council Duong Van Trang emphasized that the merger of the two provinces is a major policy, of strategic significance, requiring high consensus and careful preparation. He expressed his hope that the two localities will soon complete the merger process, putting the apparatus into operation quickly and effectively.
Kon Tum Provincial Party Secretary Duong Van Trang noted that it is necessary to soon have a plan to arrange accommodation and support suitable living conditions for the post-merger staff, especially young staff who do not have stable accommodation. Moving between remote areas, such as from Quang Ngai to the Kon Tum border area, will be very difficult if not well prepared in terms of logistics.
From there, the Secretary of the Kon Tum Provincial Party Committee proposed that it is necessary to soon have a plan to upgrade the 60km long road connecting Po E commune (Kon Tum) with Ba To town (Quang Ngai) to shorten travel time in the period before the Quang Ngai - Kon Tum expressway is completed.
The agreement on the policy and initial implementation of the contents of the merger preparation between Kon Tum and Quang Ngai demonstrates the proactive spirit and high responsibility of the Party Committees and authorities of the two provinces. This process is expected to bring long-term effectiveness in terms of organizational structure, saving resources and creating new development momentum for the Central Highlands and Central Coast regions.
