Phu Quoc City will be divided into 2 special zones - Lang Son Radio and Television Newspaper and Station

The above orientation is mentioned in the Project on rearranging and reorganizing administrative units at all levels and building a 2-level local government organization model (Project) recently approved by Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh .

Phu Quoc City ( Kien Giang Province).

Based on the direction of the Politburo and the Secretariat in Conclusion No. 127, Conclusion No. 130, Conclusion No. 137 and Resolution No. 60 of the 11th Central Conference, the Government has thoroughly researched and completed multi-dimensionally with innovative thinking, thereby proposing principles for organizing, arranging and reorganizing current commune-level administrative units into new commune-level administrative units.

Specifically, reorganize and arrange current commune-level administrative units in the direction of eliminating the intermediate level (district level), forming new commune-level administrative units, including communes, wards and special zones (no longer have the type of administrative units of provincial cities, centrally-run cities, towns, districts, counties, and townships).

The commune-level administrative unit after the rearrangement must ensure that the local government at the commune level effectively manages the area, has a firm grasp of the situation, is close to the people, and serves the people best. In the case of rearranging wards with administrative units of the same level, the new administrative unit after the rearrangement is the ward; in the case of rearranging communes and towns, the new administrative unit after the rearrangement is the commune.

Notably, the project decides to convert current island districts and island cities into commune-level administrative units called special zones.

" Accordingly, 11 special economic zones will be formed from 1 island district (11 island districts, including: Van Don, Co To, Cat Hai, Truong Sa, Hoang Sa, Phu Quy, Kien Hai, Bach Long Vi, Con Co, Ly Son, Con Dao). Particularly for Phu Quoc city (Kien Giang province), the competent authority has agreed to separate Tho Chau commune of Phu Quoc city to establish a separate district, accordingly, studying the establishment of 2 special economic zones: Phu Quoc and Tho Chau ", the project clearly stated.

In case the arrangement of commune-level administrative units changes the boundaries of district-level administrative units, it is not necessary to consider the conditions and standards and it is not necessary to follow the process and procedures for adjusting the boundaries of the district-level administrative unit to which the commune-level administrative unit belongs.

The project does not require arrangement for commune-level administrative units that are isolated and difficult to organize traffic connections with adjacent administrative units or have especially important locations that affect national defense, security and the protection of national sovereignty.

The total number of commune and ward administrative units after the rearrangement will be reduced to about 60 - 70% compared to the current number of commune-level administrative units in the province and centrally-run city; at the same time, it is necessary to ensure a reasonable correlation, avoiding creating large gaps and differences in natural area and population size between the new communes and wards after the rearrangement.
