From today, 3,321 new commune and ward-level administrative units of 34 provinces and cities across the country (including 2,636 communes, 672 wards and 13 special zones) officially come into operation.
The organization of a two-level government is an organizational revolution that, in addition to overcoming the cumbersome apparatus, intermediate levels, and large civil servant payrolls, also creates a space for connecting economic regions and the strengths of regions to prepare for the era of growth.
From now on, overlaps between administrative levels are removed, resources are allocated more centrally and effectively, the apparatus is leaner but more dynamic, flexible and serves the people better.
VietNamNet updates the first images of the first day of implementing two-level local government nationwide.
On June 30, 34 provinces and cities across the country simultaneously announced the resolution of the National Assembly Standing Committee and local decisions on the establishment of new Party Committees of communes, wards and towns. With the spirit of “running while lining up”, communes and towns have urgently prepared and are ready for the new mission.
