A ceremony was held in the presence of National Assembly (NA) Chairman Tran Thanh Man on June 30 to announce the resolutions and decisions on the administrative unit reorganisation and personnel appointments in the Mekong Delta city of Can Tho.

The two-tier local government model, to become operational from July 1, will bring the government closer to the people and enable it to deliver better public services, Permanent Deputy Prime Minister Nguyen Hoa Binh told the press on the thresholds of this historic milestone.

Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh has demanded the urgent upgrade and development of information systems to support streamlined, efficient, and uninterrupted public service delivery during the administrative transition, aiming to establish the National Public Service Portal as the sole centralised gateway for all digital public services starting 6pm on June 27.
