Dear compatriots and comrades!

The policy of restructuring the apparatus and merging administrative units is a necessary, correct and long-term strategic action. However, this process also has a certain impact on the thoughts, feelings, aspirations and working positions of cadres, civil servants and public employees. The Central Committee understands and shares with you and the people, accepting change and giving up habits that have been attached for many years is not easy. But at this time, your exemplary spirit for the collective and for the common good is demonstrated more than ever.

Nghe An - the homeland of beloved President Ho Chi Minh, is a locality with a strong revolutionary tradition, unique cultural identity, a spirit of solidarity and a strong desire to rise up. The 9th session of the National Assembly has just ended successfully with many revolutionary decisions and laws passed, initiating fundamental institutional reforms, orienting tasks for the new development stage of the country, including many contents related to the innovation and arrangement of the 2-level local government apparatus. Previously, at the 7th session, the National Assembly issued Resolution No. 137 on special mechanisms and policies for the development of Nghe An, which is one of the important legal bases to create conditions for the province to break out and develop more dynamically.
