Accordingly, the Standing Committee of the National Assembly has passed a Resolution on the reorganization of commune-level administrative units in Quang Ninh province, which includes merging Tan Viet commune into Viet Dan commune and merging Dong Trieu ward into Duc Chinh ward of Dong Trieu town (Quang Ninh province).

The wards of Binh Duong, Thuy An, Binh Khe, and Yen Duc were established, and Dong Trieu city was established under the direct administration of Quang Ninh province, based on the current natural area of ​​395.95 km2 and population of 248,896 people of Dong Trieu town.

Dong Trieu City was established with 19 subordinate commune-level administrative units, including 13 wards: Duc Chinh, Hung Dao, Xuan Son, Kim Son, Mao Khe, Hong Phong, Trang An, Yen Tho, Hoang Que, Binh Duong, Thuy An, Binh Khe, Yen Duc and 6 communes: Nguyen Hue, Viet Dan, An Sinh, Trang Luong, Hong Thai Dong, Hong Thai Tay.

In terms of administrative boundaries, Dong Trieu City is bordered to the east by Uong Bi City; to the west by Chi Linh City in Hai Duong Province; to the south by Kinh Mon Town in Hai Duong Province and Thuy Nguyen District in Hai Phong City; and to the north by Son Dong and Luc Nam Districts in Bac Giang Province.

The establishment of these four wards and the formation of Dong Trieu City has a positive impact on the shift in economic structure towards increasing the proportion of industry, trade, and services, while gradually reducing the proportion of agriculture. At the same time, this also promotes investment in developing existing potentials and advantages to create a young, prosperous, civilized, and compassionate Dong Trieu City.

Currently, Quang Ninh province has 5 cities under its direct administration: Ha Long, Cam Pha, Uong Bi, Mong Cai, and Dong Trieu.
