Deputy Prime Minister Pham Thi Thanh Tra has signed a government resolution approving the proposal to adjust administrative boundaries between Hanoi and Phu Tho province.

The Government approved the proposal dossier submitted by the Ministry of Home Affairs.

Under the resolution, the ministry will coordinate with relevant ministries and agencies to incorporate feedback from government members and finalize the submission, proposal and draft resolutions of the National Assembly and its Standing Committee.

These documents concern adjustments to the administrative boundaries between Hanoi and Phu Tho, as well as changes to commune-level administrative boundaries in both localities.

The Minister of Home Affairs has been authorized by the Prime Minister to sign, on behalf of the Government, the submission, proposal and reports explaining and incorporating revisions to the dossier based on feedback from the National Assembly, its Standing Committee, parliamentary bodies and lawmakers.

The ministry will bear full responsibility for the contents of the proposal dossier, draft resolutions and related recommendations and reports.

It must also prepare all necessary documents for submission to the National Assembly, its Standing Committee and relevant parliamentary bodies, ensuring compliance with quality requirements and statutory deadlines.

More than 4,000 hectares to be transferred to Hanoi

In late October, the Hanoi People's Council adopted a resolution providing its opinion on the proposed administrative boundary adjustments between the capital and Phu Tho province.

Under the plan, more than 4,000 hectares of land would be transferred from Phu Tho to Hanoi.

This includes more than 2,170 hectares and 1,057 residents from Thinh Minh commune, over 742 hectares from Luong Son commune and more than 1,090 hectares from Ky Son ward.

Two communes in Hanoi would receive additional land.

Yen Xuan commune would gain more than 2,600 hectares, while Ba Vi commune would receive nearly 1,340 hectares and 1,057 residents from Thinh Minh commune.

The areas transferred from Luong Son commune, Ky Son ward and Thinh Minh commune to Yen Xuan commune are uninhabited.

The National Assembly is expected to hear the Government's submission and discuss the proposed administrative boundary adjustments between Hanoi and Phu Tho next Wednesday.
