National Assembly vice chairman Nguyen Khac Dinh chaired the session yesterday.

The session was chaired by National Assembly vice chairman Nguyen Khac Dinh.

Reporting at the session, Minister of Home Affairs Pham Thi Thanh Tra said based on recommendations of the People’s Committee of Hanoi, Thanh Hoa, Dong Nai and Tuyen Quang, the Government sent a proposal to the NA Standing Committee to adjust the administrative boundary of eight residential groups in Bac Nghia Tan Area, from Co Nhue 1 Ward of Bac Tu Liem District to Nghia Tan Ward of Cau Giay District.

The Government also proposed to move the administrative boundary of the residential group No 28 from My Dinh 2 Ward of Nam Tu Liem District to Mai Dich Ward, Cau Giay District.

The move aimed to fix shortcomings in administrative management, ensuring compliance with legal regulations after obtaining consensus of the people in the area, she said.

For Thanh Hoa Province, the Government submitted to upgrade two communes of Quy Loc and Yen Lam in Thanh Hoa Province’s Yen Dinh District to Quy Loc Town and Yen Lam Town.

The two towns were already planned to become centres of services, commerce, industry and construction materials combined with developing a supporting service for the local stone carving craft, she said.

The two communes belong to an important traffic hub that could promote socio-economic development in the north-west of Yen Dinh District with neighbouring districts.

For Dong Nai Province, the Government proposed to upgrade Long Giao Commune of Dong Nai Province’s Cam My District to Long Giao Town because the commune is now located in the centre of the district.

It is a junction connecting arterial roads in the region as well as the centre for the district’s socio-economic development.

For Tuyen Quang Province, it was proposed to move the administrative boundary of Phuc Son Commune and Minh Quang Commune from Chiem Hoa District to Lam Binh District.

The adjustment aimed to create favourable conditions for the administrative management of the locality, she said.

Additionally, the Government also submitted to upgrade Lang Can Commune to Lang Can Town in Lam Binh District as well as upgrade Yen Son District to Yen Son Town to create the driving force for socio-economic development in the districts, she said.

Speaking at the session, Chairman of the NA Committee for Legal Affairs Hoang Thanh Tung said the committee approved the establishment and adjustment of the administrative boundary of Hanoi City and three provinces of Thanh Hoa, Dong Nai and Tuyen Quang.

The committee asked the National Assembly Standing Committee to promulgate the resolution on the establishment and adjustment of the administrative boundary of Hanoi City and three provinces of Thanh Hoa, Dong Nai and Tuyen Quang in accordance with the Government’s explanatory reports, he said.

The valid time for the resolution should be July 1. Based on the valid time, relevant agencies and localities would have enough time to adjust related administrative procedures for the operation of the new administrative units and not affect the election of deputies to the 15th National Assembly and People's Council at all levels for the 2021-26 tenure, he said.

National Assembly Chairman Vuong Dinh Hue said this was the first regular session of the National Assembly Standing Committee after the committee’s personnel affairs were finished.

At the 55th session, which took place on one day, the committee also considered the adjustment of the administrative boundary to expand Hue City; the use of capital of Resolution No. 324/NQ-UBTVQH14 to build Vietnamese representative agencies abroad in the period of 2021-25; the plan to use the remaining of the State budget in 2020; as well as the additional fund to buy vaccines, antiseptic chemicals and seeds.  VNS
