Of the 166 new commune-level Party Committees, the Hac Thanh Ward Party Committee has the largest number of Party organizations and Party members in the province.

Representing key leaders of communes and wards in the province at the announcement ceremony, Mr. Doan Van Truong - Secretary of the Party Committee of Pu Nhi commune said that the locality is a particularly difficult border commune, located in the mountainous areas of the western part of the province.
"Although Pu Nhi commune does not implement the arrangement, it does not mean that it is outside the renovation process. On the contrary, we determined that the more difficult it is, the more drastic it is to innovate, the more streamlined and efficient it is. The continued maintenance of independent administrative units is based on specific factors such as area, population and border security - but the requirement to improve the quality of management and service to the people remains unchanged" - Mr. Truong shared.
