Resolution No. 60-NQ/TW, issued by the Central Executive Committee on April 12, 2025 during the 11th Plenary Session of the 13th Central Committee, outlines key directions for streamlining the administrative apparatus, administrative units, and Party organizations, including:
- Abolishing the district-level government as of July 1, 2025; maintaining only two administrative levels: provincial (including centrally-governed cities) and communal (communes, wards, special zones).
- Approving a plan to merge 52 provinces/cities into 34 provincial-level administrative units (28 provinces and 6 centrally-governed cities).
- Dissolving the district-level labor union organizations and affiliated grassroots units, with termination of operations from June 1, 2025, to be completed by June 15, 2025.
- Establishing a new Party organizational system comprising only provincial and communal levels, aligned with the two-tier administrative model.
