The revolutionary effort to restructure the administrative apparatus, merge administrative units at all levels, and establish two-tier local governance is not simply an adjustment of boundaries, regions, and areas, but also a process of selecting officials with sufficient competence, skills, and a strong sense of public service.

The Vietnamese Government aims to have all administrative procedures related to businesses handled entirely online by the end of this year, regardless of administrative boundaries, according to Minister and Chairman of the Government Office Tran Van Son.

July 1 marked a historic turning point in Ha Noi's administrative reform roadmap - from a three-tier governance system to a two-tier model, including the city level and the commune and ward levels. Commune and ward headquarters and relevant agencies simultaneously began processing public services related to land, civil status, justice, education, and healthcare.

Viet Nam’s rollout of a two-tier local governance model marks a bold and necessary push to improve the administrative effectiveness and efficiency, Vietnamese Ambassador to China Pham Thanh Binh told the Viet Nam News Agency (VNA) in Beijing.
