Priority is given to resolving procedures for people.
According to the Resolution of the National Assembly Standing Committee on the arrangement of district and commune-level administrative units of Da Nang city in the period of 2023 - 2025, from January 1, Da Nang city merged 17 commune-level administrative units. After the merger, Da Nang city will have 36 wards and 11 communes, 9 wards less than at present.
Ms. Le Thi Thuan, Chairwoman of Hai Chau Ward People's Committee, Hai Chau District, Da Nang City said: "From the beginning of 2025, we have thoroughly informed the cadres and civil servants and assigned specific tasks to each department and field. Especially for the Reception and Results Department at the ward, we must make sure that all administrative procedures of citizens must be carried out as quickly and concisely as possible and ready to perform all tasks".
