Expected to merge 60-70% in more than 10,000 communes
On the morning of March 11, the National Assembly Standing Committee gave its opinion on the summary of the 9th Extraordinary Session of the 15th National Assembly.
National Assembly Chairman Tran Thanh Man emphasized that the 15th National Assembly has gone down in history by holding 8 regular sessions and 9 extraordinary sessions.
The 9th extraordinary session was successful, according to Mr. Tran Thanh Man, the main reason is the direct leadership of the Politburo, the Secretariat, and the Central Executive Committee of the Party, especially General Secretary To Lam, who directed the work "which was once thought unsuccessful but in the end was unimaginable success".
That shows what experience is, if there is determination, effort, striving, determination, and determination to do it, there will be products.
However, the National Assembly Chairman noted that the workload in the coming time is very large and very heavy, so relevant agencies in the Government and the National Assembly must continue to be active and urgent. It is necessary to promptly implement, especially the issuance of decrees and circulars, including laws and resolutions passed from the 8th Session, because businesses and people are expecting, aiming for a growth target of 8% or more this year.
"The upcoming arrangement of the commune-level apparatus is to merge 60-70% out of more than 10,000 communes. Recently, we have arranged more than 1,000 communes and some districts where the National Assembly Standing Committee has held many meetings, so there will be many more meetings in the coming time. Or in the near future, there will be no more district-level units, then the province will be merged... the workload will be very large. The first phase is difficult but has been overcome, the next phases will be even more difficult," Mr. Tran Thanh Man emphasized and suggested careful preparation.
