The Party Central Committee agreed to arrange 34 provinces and cities.

(Baoquangngai.vn)- Resolution of the 11th Conference of the 13th Party Central Committee (Resolution No. 60-NQ/TW dated April 12) decided many important and historical contents of the country.

The Central Executive Committee basically agreed with the contents proposed by the Politburo. Specifically, it agreed on the policy of organizing local government at two levels: provincial level (provinces, centrally-run cities), and communal level (communes, wards, and special zones under provinces and cities).

The operation of district-level administrative units will end from July 1, 2025 after the Resolution amending and supplementing a number of articles of the 2013 Constitution and the Law on Organization of Local Government 2025 (amended) takes effect. The number of provincial-level administrative units after the merger will be unified to 34 provinces and cities. The merger of commune-level administrative units ensures that the country will reduce the number of commune-level administrative units by about 60-70% compared to the present. Accordingly, Kon Tum province and Quang Ngai province will be merged and named Quang Ngai province. The political-administrative center will be located in Quang Ngai province today.

Regarding the organization of the Fatherland Front and socio-political organizations, mass organizations assigned by the Party and the State, the Central Committee agreed to arrange 5 socio-political organizations, 30 mass organizations assigned by the Party and the State and other mass organizations to be directly under the Vietnam Fatherland Front, with the Standing Committee of the Central Committee of the Vietnam Fatherland Front chairing consultations, coordinating and unifying actions. Ending the activities of civil servant unions and armed forces unions; reducing the level of union dues contributed by union members.

Regarding the organizational system of People's Courts and People's Procuracies at all levels, the central government has unified the policy of arranging and streamlining the organizational structure of People's Courts and People's Procuracies. The organizational system of People's Courts and People's Procuracies has 3 levels: People's Courts and Supreme People's Procuracies, provincial and regional levels. The activities of People's Courts and High-level People's Procuracies and People's Courts and People's Procuracies at district levels have ended.

Regarding the local party organization system, agree on the policy of establishing local party organizations corresponding to the provincial and communal administrative systems (after rearrangement).
