Problems arising from practice

At the meeting, the leaders of the communes reported on the results after 3.5 months of implementing the two-tiered local government system. Since July 1, 2025, the commune governments have been proactive and creative in consolidating the organizational structure, assigning tasks, maintaining administrative operations, stabilizing the morale of the staff, and ensuring that work is not interrupted.
