The abolition of the intermediate level of government (district level) and direct delegation of power to the People's Council and People's Committee of the commune is not only aimed at streamlining the organization, but also at bringing the power of supervision, legislation and administration closer to the people than ever before. While in the past, many decisions on people's livelihood had to go through many intermediary levels, now they will be handled right at the residential area - with the direct participation of elected representatives at the commune level.
This opens up a great opportunity to build a more substantive democracy at the grassroots level - where state power is linked to the daily lives of the people. Democracy is no longer a distant slogan, but a living reality - with people's meetings, close people's councils, friendly governments and leaders who are willing to listen and take responsibility.
To do that, Quang Ninh is implementing a new two-level government model within the overall task of building a clean and strong Party and political system. Building a local government that is honest, active, creative, serving, and operating effectively and efficiently; improving the capacity of social governance, state management, and local sustainable development governance based on the foundation of science, technology, innovation, and digital transformation; promoting administrative reform, openness, transparency, and taking people's satisfaction as a consistent measure. This is an important factor contributing to creating a smooth and favorable administrative corridor for people and businesses. At the same time, it opens up new momentum for localities to develop faster, stronger, and more sustainably in the next period.
Thoroughly implementing this spirit, on the very first day, despite changes in the organizational structure, the direction and management work in the 54 communes, wards and special zones of the province was still carried out smoothly. The team of cadres, civil servants and public employees quickly stabilized their mentality, got used to the new environment, immediately got to work according to specific assignments and demonstrated a spirit of urgency and responsibility, enthusiastically guiding the people so that the procedure processing process was carried out quickly and smoothly.
The Public Administration Service Centers operate smoothly and conveniently. Additional youth union members, FPT staff, staff from the Land Registration Office, and Post Office staff have been assigned to the Public Administration Service Centers of the province, commune, ward, and special zone to support people and businesses in submitting administrative procedures. FPT has assigned 1 technical staff to each ward/commune, and the Post Office has assigned 1 staff.
As of 5:00 p.m. on July 1, 2025, the Provincial, Commune, Ward, and Special Zone Public Administration Service Centers received 1,682 administrative procedure records. Of which, 1,565 were submitted in person and 117 were submitted online.
The new administrative procedure settlement information system of Quang Ninh province is connected and operates smoothly with the National Public Service Portal. There were some minor errors that arose but were immediately fixed.
To ensure that the reception of administrative procedures for people takes place smoothly, the commune-level authorities in Quang Ninh have carefully prepared the conditions of facilities and equipment; at the same time, the assignment, arrangement and training for cadres, civil servants and public employees have also been deployed in advance. Thanks to that, on the first working day, the activities took place quite smoothly. Localities have shown initiative and flexibility in operation, affirming the correctness of the policy of arranging administrative units and reorganizing grassroots authorities.
The effective operation of the two-level local government in Quang Ninh is a clear demonstration of the positive changes in administrative reform, gradually building a modern, professional administration and serving the people better.
With the new tasks of the commune-level government, Quang Ninh requires communes, wards and special economic zones to promote the comprehensive leadership role of grassroots Party committees in the context of expanding areas, diverse populations and higher governance requirements. In particular, Party committees must have a firm grasp of the area, proactively review public opinion issues, and the psychology of cadres and people after the merger. From there, propose practical and appropriate solutions, especially in places with differences in development conditions and living habits. Each commune-level Party secretary and chairman must clearly demonstrate the central leadership role, maintain administrative discipline but at the same time must be the person who "extends" the connection between the Party, government and people. Increase contact and regular dialogue with residential areas, especially in the merged area, to promptly resolve arising problems. Commune-level cadres in the new model must change their thinking, style and skills, quickly adapt to technology, and handle work effectively in the context of a larger population, a larger area and multi-sectoral and multi-disciplinary management requirements.
Thereby, striving to reach the goal of becoming a model in organizing a modern local government apparatus, close to the people, by the people and for the people.
