In Resolution 60 of the 11th Conference of the 13th Central Executive Committee, the Central Committee planned to merge Bac Giang and Bac Ninh provinces, naming the province Bac Ninh, with the political and administrative center located in Bac Giang province. To implement the merger, Bac Giang province was assigned to preside over the arrangement with Bac Ninh province.
Thanks to industrial development, in recent years, the socio-economy in Bac Giang has grown strongly.
The leader of the Department of Home Affairs of Bac Giang province said that immediately after the Central Government's policy, the Standing Committees of the Bac Giang and Bac Ninh Provincial Party Committees met to discuss the merger. Accordingly, the two provinces established working groups to serve the implementation of the merger, including reviewing policies, facilities, and staff.
