President of the State participates in thematic gathering of the party branch in Quang Ninh
Quang Ha Commune Established in Quang Ninh Province
Quang Ha Commune, located in Quang Ninh Province, was officially established on July 1, 2025, following the merger of four former administrative units – Quang Ha Town, Quang Minh, Quang Chinh, Quang Phong communes, and two hamlets of Quang Long commune. This new commune covers an area of 134.37 km² and has a population of 40,988 people across 53 villages [1][2][3].
Quang Ha Commune's strategic location within the Mong Cai Border Gate Economic Zone and a 5,000-hectare seaport industrial park presents opportunities for multi-dimensional growth, attracting investment and improving access to international markets as a key logistics transit point in Northeast Vietnam [1].
Post-Merger Consolidation
Following the merger, the newly formed commune leadership and Party Committee have been working diligently to complete the organizational structure. This includes appointing leaders, stabilising facilities, and adopting governing documents to ensure smooth administrative operations from July 1, 2025 [1].
On July 29-30, 2025, State President Luong Cuong visited Quang Ha Commune for an assessment of the strengths and challenges of the newly merged administration. The President emphasised the need to confront existing problems and obstacles directly and proposed practical and feasible directions [2].
Key Challenges
The merger presents numerous challenges and difficulties. Streamlining and strengthening the administrative apparatus to be efficient and responsive is crucial. Addressing practical realities in leadership and governance is also essential. Ensuring effective service to the people through improved Party and government coordination is another challenge [2].
The leadership must maintain focus and determination in leadership to meet restructuring goals. Personnel work must be conducted with caution and transparency, ensuring democratic processes to identify and nominate competent, integrity-possessing, and credible individuals for key roles [2].
Focus Areas
The President stressed the importance of ensuring social welfare, healthcare, education, and environmental protection. He also highlighted the need to maintain national defence, political security, and social order and safety in all areas [2].
In summary, Quang Ha Commune is in the initial phase of operational consolidation post-merger, leveraging strategic geographic advantages for development, while facing typical challenges of integrating multiple administrative units. The leadership is committed to overcoming these challenges to build a strong, effective, and close-to-people administrative system in Quang Ha [2].
