HANOI, June 12 (Xinhua) — Vietnam’s National Assembly on Thursday formally adopted a resolution on consolidating administrative units, reducing the number of provinces and municipalities directly under the central government from 63 to 34, the Vietnam News Agency (VNA) reported.
The current resolution covers six centrally-administered municipalities and 28 provinces. It takes effect immediately from Thursday.
According to official statistics, there are more than 447,000 civil servants in the reorganized provinces whose staffing schedules will be revised as part of the reform.
Following the restructuring of its administrative divisions, Vietnam will adopt a two-tier system and cut 250,000 jobs, saving more than VND190 trillion (about US$7.3 billion) from 2026 to 2030.
Local governments in the new regions are expected to officially begin operations on July 1. The central government is responsible for managing the transition and addressing any issues that arise. –0–
