On behalf of the Politburo, Politburo member and permanent member of the Party Central Committee's Secretariat, Mr. Tran Cam Tu, has signed Conclusion No. 52-KL/TW of the Politburo regarding the master plan to establish Bac Ninh as a centrally-run city. The new administrative entity will be formed based on the current boundaries of Bac Ninh province, northern Vietnam.
The conclusion sets out a vision to develop Bac Ninh into a model green, smart, modern, and civilized city that deeply preserves the cultural identity of the Kinh Bac region. Economic growth is to be harmonized with environmental protection, driven primarily by science, technology, and innovation.
The city aims to develop a modern high-tech industrial sector that integrates deeply into global supply chains, establishing itself as a leading national and regional hub for electronics, with a focus on semiconductors, microchips, and artificial intelligence (AI).
Furthermore, Bac Ninh will focus on completing a synchronous infrastructure network—encompassing road, waterway, railway, and airway transport—alongside smart urban development. This includes connecting major urban centers with multi-modal logistics infrastructure and ensuring balanced development across all local areas within the city.
Following the merger between Bac Ninh and Bac Giang provinces in July 2025, the new administrative unit will span a natural area of more than 4,718 sq.km with a population of approximately 3.6 million. This will make it one of the most densely populated regions in the country, characterized by a young demographic structure.
