Under Resolution No. 60-NQ/TW of its 11th plenum, that was held on April 10-12,  the 13thParty Central Committee agreed on a policy to restructure provincial-level administrative units across the country, reducing the total from 63 to 34 units, comprising 28 provinces and 6 centrally-governed cities.

Under a proposal from the Government, about one-third of the responsibilities currently handled by district-level administrations will be transferred to provincial authorities, while decentralizing the remaining two-thirds to the commune-level administrations.
