The decision to 'rearrange the country' is a historical move of strategic significance.

On the morning of June 30, in Ho Chi Minh City, the City Party Committee - People's Council - People's Committee - Vietnam Fatherland Front Committee of Ho Chi Minh City held a ceremony to announce the resolutions and decisions of the Central and local governments on merging provincial and commune-level administrative units, ending the operation of district-level administrative units, establishing party organizations, appointing Party committees, People's Councils, People's Committees, Vietnam Fatherland Front Committees of Ho Chi Minh City, communes, wards, and special zones to officially operate the two-level government model for the expanded Ho Chi Minh City, including Ho Chi Minh City, Binh Duong province and Ba Ria-Vung Tau province. General Secretary To Lam attended and spoke at the announcement ceremony and sent a message to cadres, soldiers, compatriots and people nationwide in this especially sacred and important moment of the nation. We respectfully introduce the message of General Secretary To Lam.

On the occasion of this great event of the country, from the heroic and beautiful Ho Chi Minh City, I would like to send to the people of the whole country my regards, congratulations and the wishes of the Central Executive Committee of the Communist Party of Vietnam for the future of our country and our people.

Dear comrades, compatriots, soldiers and people nationwide and overseas Vietnamese,

Before the sacred and important moment of the nation - when we officially operate the two-level local government apparatus in 34 provinces and cities nationwide - a new administrative entity of the Socialist Republic of Vietnam, on behalf of the leaders of the Party, State, National Assembly , Government and Vietnam Fatherland Front, I would like to send to all compatriots and comrades the best wishes; Wishing our country continued success on the path of innovation and development.

The decision to “reorganize the country” is a historic step of strategic significance, marking a new development stage in the cause of perfecting the state administrative apparatus, perfecting the institutions and organization of the political system to be synchronous, streamlined, effective, and efficient, towards perfecting a modern, constructive, people-friendly, people-serving administrative system, so that all benefits belong to the people.

Reorganizing administrative boundaries and operating a new local government model are objective and inevitable requirements for national development in the context of globalization, digital transformation and the fourth industrial revolution. This is a valuable opportunity for us to innovate leadership thinking, innovate state management methods, strongly apply science and technology, improve the quality of national governance and increase the effectiveness of serving the people. This is also the result of 95 years of revolutionary cause under the leadership of the Party; 80 years of the Democratic Republic of Vietnam and the Socialist Republic of Vietnam and the achievements of 40 years of innovation.

I call on all compatriots nationwide, from the highland border areas to remote islands, from urban to rural areas, to continue to promote the tradition of great national unity, maintain and continue to foster patriotism, community spirit, and mutual love to create a strong unity - the invincible strength of our people.

I call on all levels of government, agencies, organizations, civil servants, public employees, and workers to strongly transform their thinking and actions, grasp development trends, innovate their thinking and working methods, improve their leadership and management capacity, promote the spirit of daring to think, daring to do, daring to take responsibility, and being ready to sacrifice personal interests to move towards a modern, transparent, service-oriented administration of the people, by the people, and for the people.

I call on the intellectuals, scientists, businessmen, artists, soldiers of the people's armed forces, youth, women, the elderly, teenagers, children, people of all ethnic groups, religions... to all compete together to be creative, actively study, work, produce, create a lot of material wealth and spiritual values, contributing to making our country develop faster, stronger, and more sustainably.

I call on overseas Vietnamese to continue to turn to their homeland, to their national roots, to connect, support each other and contribute with the people at home to build a strong Vietnam, a rich people, a strong country, democracy, fairness, civilization, standing shoulder to shoulder with friends around the world. The Fatherland always opens its arms to welcome "citizens far from the Fatherland" to join hands in building and developing the country.

On this occasion, I call on friends, international partners, and multilateral organizations to continue accompanying Vietnam in the journey of building a modern administration, a dynamic economy, a comprehensively developed society, and a Vietnam of affection, friendliness, integration, cooperation, and responsibility for peace, stability, progress, and common prosperity.

Dear comrades, compatriots and soldiers nationwide,

We are facing a great opportunity. Every organization, every community, every individual is an important link in this powerful reform wheel. Every Vietnamese citizen, at home or abroad, has a role and civic responsibility in moving the country forward, overcoming difficulties, promoting internal strength, taking advantage of external strength, and mastering one's own future.

Let every working day be a day of creation. Let each person be a soldier on the innovation front. Let the revolutionary spirit attack strongly, fiercely and creatively, imbuing the national soul in every action, every decision and every step of development.

From today, we continue to join hands, unite, and agree to successfully implement the two-level local government model, ensuring the smooth, effective, and efficient operation of the organizational system; protecting the legitimate rights and interests of the people; caring for social security and expanding development opportunities for all classes of people.

I believe that with the strength of national unity, with the aspiration for power, with the will to constantly innovate, the Vietnamese people will firmly continue on the path of building a peaceful, civilized, prosperous and happy Socialist Vietnam.

Up to this point, our team is well-organized, the ranks are straight, the whole nation is marching together towards the bright future of the country, for the happiness of the people, for a sustainably developed Vietnam.

Wishing our comrades, compatriots, cadres, party members, soldiers and overseas Vietnamese good health, success and confidence in victory.

Thank you very much./.
