2. Nghe An reduced to 130 communes and wards according to which resolution?

Awarding Resolution No. 1678/NQ-UBTVQH 15 dated June 16, 2025 on Nghe An reduced to 130 communes and wards
Awarding Resolution No. 1678/NQ-UBTVQH 15 dated June 16, 2025 on Nghe An reduced to 130 communes and wards

On June 16, 2025, the National Assembly Standing Committee issued Resolution 1678/NQ-UBTVQH15. This is an extremely important decision, officially approving the rearrangement of communes and wards in Nghe An province. This is carried out based on the project approved by the Government.

In this reorganization, 52 localities nationwide have merged, the remaining 23 provinces and cities (including Nghe An) are piloting the two-level apparatus model. Nghe An reduced to 130 communes and wards, instead of 412 communes, wards and towns as before. The central bridge point is located in Dong Loc commune (a newly established commune from the merger of Khanh Hop, Nghi Thach and Thinh Truong), connecting with all 129 remaining communes and wards.

Based on this result, the localities will officially operate under the new model. Thus, after the arrangement, Nghe An reduced to 130 communes and wards, becoming a locality with a more streamlined administrative scale, in line with the goals of effective management and sustainable development.

3. Significance and challenges when Nghe An reduced to 130 communes and wards

After the merger, Nghe An has difficulty in arranging staff
After the merger, Nghe An has difficulty in arranging staff

The arrangement for Nghe An reduced to 130 communes and wards brings many positive impacts:

  • For the management apparatus: Helps to streamline the payroll, improve operational efficiency.
  • For the people: Administrative procedures are simpler, access to public services is more convenient.
  • In terms of socio-economy: Resources are concentrated, management develops more synchronously and effectively.

However, when Nghe An reduced to 130 communes and wards, there are still many difficulties that need to be solved. The geographical distance between villages and hamlets after merging may be further. In addition, the government must quickly adjust infrastructure, facilities and administrative boundaries to ensure stable operation, suitable for the new model.

In general, the decision to bring Nghe An reduced to 130 communes and wards is a strategic step, demonstrating the determination of the local government in administrative reform.
