Accordingly, it is expected that Dien Bien province will reduce from the current 129 commune-level administrative units to 45 (42 communes and 3 wards), reducing 84 units, equivalent to a reduction of 65.1%.
Speaking with Lao Dong, Mr. Nguyen Tien Dat - Director of Dien Bien Department of Home Affairs - said that the province's orientation for naming and renaming commune-level administrative units is to be easy to read, easy to remember, concise, ensuring systematicity, science, in accordance with local historical and cultural traditions and supported by the people.
The Director of the Dien Bien Department of Home Affairs added that the development of the ADU arrangement plan ensures factors such as natural conditions, traffic infrastructure, allocation and organization of economic spaces. In order to maximize the potential and advantages of economic development of each locality, support each other.
In addition, ensure national defense and security requirements, and build solid defense zones in key areas. Preserve and promote the historical, cultural and ethnic traditions of each locality. Ensure local government at the commune level is close to the people, close to the people and provides the best service to the people.
The project to reorganize commune-level administrative units is being widely consulted by Dien Bien province from April 18-24.
