On the afternoon of January 15th, the Standing Committee of the National Assembly considered and decided on the establishment of wards within Phu My town and the establishment of Phu My city in Ba Ria - Vung Tau province.

Presenting the Government's proposal, Minister of Home Affairs Pham Thi Thanh Tra stated that the establishment of Phu My City and its two subordinate wards is based on the existing area and population size of Phu My town and two communes (Tan Hoa and Tan Hai).

Accordingly, Ba Ria - Vung Tau province remains unchanged in terms of natural area, population size, and the number of subordinate district and commune-level units, but it has increased by 1 city and 2 wards, while decreasing by 1 town and 2 communes.

Phu My City remains unchanged in terms of natural area and population size, and has 10 subordinate commune-level units (7 wards and 3 communes). Additionally, the two wards established after its creation remain unchanged in terms of area and population size.

The Minister of Home Affairs stated that the establishment of two wards within Phu My town and the establishment of Phu My City in Ba Ria - Vung Tau province meet all five conditions stipulated in the Law on Organization of Local Government.

Phu My town has met all 5/5 criteria for establishing a city within a province, and the two communes (Tan Hoa and Tan Hai) have met all 4/4 criteria for establishing wards as stipulated.

Reviewing this matter, the Chairman of the Legal Committee, Hoang Thanh Tung, agreed with the necessity of establishing Tan Hoa and Tan Hai wards in Phu My town, and establishing Phu My city in Ba Ria - Vung Tau province, for the reasons stated in the Government's submission and proposal.

The establishment of wards and cities is in line with planning, meets the requirements of state administrative management, the level of socio-economic development in the area, and creates conditions to further develop the potential and strengths of the locality.

Mr. Hoang Thanh Tung suggested that the authorities in newly established wards and cities should closely follow the central government's directives on the restructuring and streamlining of the organizational apparatus. They should proactively review and study the implementation of appropriate restructuring measures, contributing to improved effectiveness and efficiency of local government operations...

Concluding the session, Vice Chairman of the National Assembly Nguyen Khac Dinh emphasized that the Standing Committee of the National Assembly highly appreciated the project, which had been meticulously and thoroughly prepared by the Government and localities.

The establishment of Tan Hoa and Tan Hai wards and Phu My City will create momentum for continued comprehensive socio-economic development in the area. At the same time, it will improve the quality of life for the people and make a positive contribution to the development of Ba Ria - Vung Tau province in particular and the whole country in general.

At the meeting, 100% of the members of the National Assembly Standing Committee present voted in favor of adopting the resolution on the establishment of wards within Phu My town and the establishment of Phu My City, Ba Ria - Vung Tau province.

The resolution takes effect from March 1, 2025.
