Ha Giang is expected to have 74 communes and wards after the arrangement.

Currently, Ha Giang province has 193 communes, wards and towns. Based on practical assessments of the following issues: area, population; traffic connectivity; history, tradition, culture, ethnicity, religion, beliefs, customs and practices; geographical location, natural conditions, sub-regional connectivity; scale and level of economic development; ensuring national defense, security, politics and social order; traffic infrastructure and information technology to serve the requirements of state management and development, the Party Committee of the People's Committee of Ha Giang province has developed a plan to arrange commune-level administrative units. It is expected that after the arrangement, the whole province will have 74 administrative units (a reduction of 61.66%), including 2 wards and 72 communes.

Speaking at the conference, Mr. Phan Huy Ngoc, Chairman of the People's Committee of Ha Giang province, directed relevant agencies to continue to study and absorb the opinions of delegates, and organize to collect people's contributions. From there, complete the plan to arrange commune-level administrative units to ensure that it is close to reality and highly feasible.

The arrangement needs to consider historical, cultural, geographical similarities and development space. After fully absorbing opinions, the Provincial People's Committee Party Committee will finalize the plan to report to the Provincial Party Committee Standing Committee for consideration and decision.

"The arrangement of commune-level administrative units is an important political task, requiring the drastic and synchronous participation of the entire political system and people in the province," Mr. Phan Huy Ngoc emphasized.
