On August 22, the working delegation of the Ministry of Home Affairs led by Deputy Minister Truong Hai Long worked with Ca Mau province on the project to establish 13 wards in the province.
13 communes proposed to establish wards include Song Doc, Nam Can, Ganh Hao, Hoa Binh, Cai Nuoc, Dam Doi, Thoi Binh, Tran Van Thoi, Phuoc Long, Hong Dan, Vinh Loi, Luong The Tran, Cai Doi Vam.
Most of these communes were formed from former district towns and neighboring areas, playing a central role in the development of each region.
In which, Song Doc, Nam Can, Ganh Hao have strengths in seafood, fishing ports, marine logistics services. Nam Can is also associated with the development orientation of Nam Can Economic Zone.
Hoa Binh, Cai Nuoc, Dam Doi, Thoi Binh, Tran Van Thoi, Phuoc Long, Hong Dan, Vinh Loi communes play the role of administrative, commercial, service, production, and trade centers.
Luong The Tran has the advantage of developing industry, services, and logistics associated with Hoa Trung Industrial Park. Cai Doi Vam is a key area for seafood economy, connecting the coastal development space in the Southwest.
At the working session, the Ministry of Home Affairs working delegation focused on reviewing the project dossier, comparing the actual survey results with the conditions and standards for establishing wards, especially population, technical - social infrastructure, socio-economic development, national defense - security.
The working delegation noted many favorable conditions for the urbanization process in 13 areas. However, some criteria need to be further reviewed and clarified, especially the proportion and scale of urban population, including both permanent and temporary residents.
According to Deputy Minister of Home Affairs Truong Hai Long, it is proposed that Ca Mau province continue to compare each criterion with actual conditions; the contents that have not been achieved or are still stuck must clarify the causes and have specific solutions. The project dossier must be tight, substantive, and accurately reflect the characteristics, potentials, and development requirements of each region.
Vice Chairman of Ca Mau Provincial People's Committee Nguyen Minh Luan said that the formation of 13 wards will contribute to creating a network of urban centers, growth poles, and focal points connecting regions, in line with the province's development space organization orientation.
Ca Mau province requests departments and branches to continue reviewing and adjusting data and criteria according to reality; ensuring that dossiers are based, correct, sufficient, and clearly explained. Localities are assigned to coordinate with departments and branches to handle outstanding contents, complete dossiers according to progress, and are expected to submit them at the end of August.
