admin

Recently, the People’s Council of Dong Trieu Town, Quang Ninh Province, held its 17th session (Special Session) to discuss and decide on important matters within its jurisdiction. During the session, the People’s Council of Dong Trieu Town agreed to the establishment of Binh Duong, Thuy An, Binh Khe, and Yen Duc wards within the town, as well as the establishment of Dong Trieu City within Quang Ninh Province.

Speaking at the closing ceremony of the session, Comrade Nguyen Ngoc Bang, Secretary of the Party Committee and Chairman of the People’s Council of Dong Trieu Town, affirmed that the plan to establish Binh Duong, Thuy An, Binh Khe, and Yen Duc wards and Dong Trieu City has been thoroughly prepared and is in line with the current regulations on administrative units and administrative unit classification.

The establishment of Dong Trieu City is necessary to further exploit the potential and strengths of the town to serve the socio-economic development and improve the quality of life for the people. Additionally, it aims to meet the requirements of a third-grade urban area, with the goal of becoming a second-grade urban area. Therefore, the management and operation apparatus, from the town level to the grassroots level, must transition to the apparatus of the city government.

Binh Duong, Thuy An, Binh Khe, and Yen Duc wards have all met the criteria for establishing wards within the town, and Dong Trieu Town has met the criteria for establishing a city as prescribed.

The plan has also been presented to the opinions of the people in 162 hamlets and neighborhoods throughout the town, with 97.71% of voters agreeing to the plan to establish the four wards and 95.43% of voters agreeing to the plan to establish Dong Trieu City.
