In the spirit of the Central Government's direction, Quang Ninh has developed a plan to reorganize commune-level administrative units by 60-70%. With the current number of 171 commune-level administrative units, compared with the Central Government's direction, the province proposed to the Central Government a plan to reduce them to 51 commune-level administrative units, including: 27 wards, 21 communes and 3 special zones. Of which, 145 commune-level administrative units will be merged into 48 units, reducing 97 units (reaching 66.9%); 26 units will be arranged into 3 special zones. In case the competent authority approves that Quang Ninh has 2 special zones, the whole province will arrange 171 commune-level administrative units into 54 units, including 30 wards, 22 communes and 2 special zones.
