HANOI (Bernama-VNA): Vietnam’s National Assembly (NA) on Monday unanimously approved a resolution amending key provisions of the country’s Constitution.
All 470 delegates present at the 9th session voted in favour of the resolution, according to Vietnam news agency (VNA).
Under the amendment, all district-level administrative units nationwide will cease operations on July 1, while providing several transitional provisions.
Vice Chairman of the NA Nguyen Khac Dinh described the resolution as a historic milestone, marking the start of sweeping institutional reform and laying the constitutional foundation for a leaner and more effective political system.
He stressed that it will set the stage for building a powerful and prosperous Vietnam where its citizens live in happiness.
Last Thursday, the NA officially passed a resolution on merging provincial-level administrative units, reducing the number of provinces and cities from 63 to 34. - Bernama-VNA
