The Government will soon submit a project to reorganize Hai Phong's district and commune-level administrative units and propose the establishment of Thuy Nguyen City.

At the 38th session, the National Assembly Standing Committee has just given opinions on the draft Resolution on the organization of urban government in Hai Phong City.

At present, Hai Phong does not have a city within a city.

Ministry of Home Affairs - the drafting agency, said Thuy Nguyen district is oriented to become a city under the city.

When established, Thuy Nguyen will be a very large city. The entire industrial scale of Hai Phong is located in Thuy Nguyen and the population is very large, accounting for about 17-20% of the whole big city.

Currently, the duties and powers of the People's Council and People's Committee of the city belong to the city, but the whole country only has Thu Duc.

Therefore, the draft Resolution on the organization of urban government adds some mechanisms such as Hai Phong is arranged to have no more than 4 Vice Chairmen of the City People's Committee.

The number of Vice Chairmen of the District People's Committee is no more than 3 people and the number of Vice Chairmen of the Ward is no more than 2 people.

The Ministry of Home Affairs also proposed to increase the Vice Chairman of the People's Council and establish the Urban Committee of the People's Council of Hai Phong City. Full-time delegates will also be added to arrange the positions of Head and Deputy Head of the Urban Committee.

According to Hai Phong Party Secretary Le Tien Chau, establishing a city within the city is not a big deal. "We only propose establishing Thuy Nguyen City within Hai Phong City, we have no ambition to establish any more units," Mr. Le Tien Chau emphasized.
