Chairing a national conference on the organisation of the examination on June 18, the PM highlighted the historical significance of the examination, as the restructuring of provincial-level administrative units is underway and the two-tier local administration model is set to officially begin operations on July 1.

The planned merger of Kon Tum and Quang Ngai aims to create a larger administrative unit with breakthrough potential, poised to become a vital growth pole in the Central – Central Highlands region and generate spillovers for the surrounding areas and the nation at large.

Under the conclusion, the Politburo set clear deadlines that newly restructured communes must begin operating from July 1, with full implementation completed by July 15. At the provincial level, the restructuring should be completed by August 15.

A Government meeting on expediting the reorganisation of administrative units, the Ministry of Agriculture and Environment's opposition to China’s seasonal fishing ban in certain areas of the East Sea, and the opening of IRONMAN 70.3 Vietnam 2025 are among news highlights on May 9.

PM Chinh underscored that as part of efforts to implement the ongoing "revolution" in restructuring the political system’s organisational apparatus, ministries, agencies, and organisations at the central level have largely completed the reorganisation of their structures.

Based on the reports from the Party Central Committee’s Organisation Commission and Party Committees of localities, the Politburo and Secretariat acknowledged the positive progress and notable outcomes achieved, with all Party organisations across the country and mass agencies issuing guiding documents to clarify responsibilities, coordinate efforts, and align restructuring plans with central policies and timelines.
