VGP - The Government has officially approved a resolution on the administrative reorganization scheme for 2025, reducing the total number of provincial-level and commune-level administrative units across Viet Nam.
The Government approved the proposal by the Ministry of Home Affairs to restructure provincial-level units in 2025.
Out of 63 current provincial-level administrative units, 52 will undergo consolidation, while 11 will remain unchanged namely Ha Noi, Hue, Lai Chau, Dien Bien, Son La, Lang Son, Quang Ninh, Thanh Hoa, Nghe An, Ha Tinh, and Cao Bang.
The proposed reorganization includes 23 merger plans, resulting in the creation of 23 new provincial-level administrative units.
After restructuring, Viet Nam will have a total of 34 localities including six centrally governed cities (Ha Noi, Hai Phong, Hue, Da Nang, Can Tho, and Ho Chi Minh City) and 28 provinces (Lai Chau, Dien Bien, Son La, Lang Son, Cao Bang, Tuyen Quang, Lao Cai, Thai Nguyen, Phu Tho, Bac Ninh, Hung Yen, Ninh Binh, Quang Ninh, Thanh Hoa, Nghe An, Ha Tinh, Quang Tri, Quang Ngai, Gia Lai, Khanh Hoa, Lam Dong, Dak Lak, Dong Nai, Tay Ninh, Vinh Long, Dong Thap, Ca Mau, and An Giang).
At the commune level, the reorganization will reduce the number of units from 10,035 to just 3,321 — a decrease of 6,714 units or 66.91 percent./.
