He made the request while attending a conference announcing the NA Standing Committee’s Resolution 1104/NQ-UBTVQH15 on the arrangement of district- and communal-level administrative units for 2023 - 2025 in the northern province of Nam Dinh, which is one of the first three localities nationwide to carry out the task in the period.
According to this resolution, the NA Standing Committee decided to merge the entire area and population of My Loc district into Nam Dinh city. It also made decisions on the establishment and arrangement of communal-level administrative units of Nam Dinh city, along with the arrangement of such units in the districts of Vu Ban, Y Yen, Nam Truc, Xuan Truong, Nghia Hung, Hai Hau, and Giao Thuy.
The resolution will come into force on September 1 this year. After the re-arrangement, Nam Dinh province will have nine district-level administrative units (comprising one city and eight district), and 175 communal-level ones (comprising 146 communes, 14 wards, and 15 townships).
Man said the issuance of Resolution 1104 aims to concentrate local resources, optimise potential and advantages, expand the development space, enhance regional connectivity, attract investment, create new development momentum, boost growth and economic restructuring, and better the quality of people’s material and spiritual life.
The re-arrangement will improve the balance and harmony in population distribution, create a lean apparatus of the political system, and promote civil servants and public employees’ performance and sense of responsibility to better serve people and enterprises, especially when the decentralisation of power to local administrations is being fostered, he noted.
A strong commune will contribute to a strong district, and a strong district will contribute to a strong province which will subsequently contribute to a strong country, he stated.
The NA leader applauded Nam Dinh’s success in securing consensus among local cadres, Party members, and people, which is a critically important issue because the re-arrangement of administrative units aims to facilitate development in the targeted communes and districts.
Highly valuing the province’s efforts and outstanding results in the work, he asked local agencies and units to press on with disseminating Resolution 1104 so that cadres, Party members, and people can be fully aware of and actively engage in the re-arrangement to obtain the best possible results.
The Chairman also told all-level Party committees, administrations, and Vietnam Fatherland Front committees in Nam Dinh to grasp aspirations of cadres, Party members, civil servants, public employees, and workers, particularly those made redundant by the re-arrangement, in order to take appropriate solutions and provide proper assistance.
The top legislator expressed his hope that the province will successfully implement the resolution, maintain stability for fast, comprehensive, and sustainable socio-economic development, and ensure defence - security and the political system building, thereby soon reaching the goal of becoming one of the important development centres in the south of the Red River Delta.
