The press has stepped up propaganda about the policy of merging administrative units.

On the morning of June 6, the Provincial Party Committee's Propaganda Department coordinated with the Department of Information and Communications and the Provincial Journalists Association to organize a periodic press conference for June 2019.

In June 2019, comrade Kha Van Tam - Member of the Provincial Party Committee, Deputy Head of the Provincial Party Committee's Propaganda Department requested press agencies to propagate the results of the 10th Conference of the 12th Party Central Committee; the 7th session of the 14th National Assembly; Notice No. 55-TB/TW dated April 20, 2019 of the Politburo on the 5-year review of the implementation of Resolution No. 26-NQ/TW of the 11th Politburo on the direction and tasks for the development of Nghe An province until 2020; the upcoming meeting of the Nghe An Provincial People's Council...

In particular, the merger of commune-level units in Nghe An according to Resolution No. 37 of the Politburo on the arrangement of district- and commune-level administrative units is being directed, but there are still many problems in terms of awareness, ideology and practice at the grassroots level.

Therefore, press agencies should pay attention to propagating viewpoints, policies, methods, and merger plans to raise awareness among cadres, party members, and people, creating high consensus during implementation.
