For the conference to be successful, Provincial Party Secretary Nguyen Duc Trung requested agencies, units and localities to participate fully, seriously, proactively coordinate and properly implement the operating scenario. Fully record any issues arising during the operation process to promptly report, adjust and perfect the model. Consider this a practical and comprehensive "rehearsal" step for the official implementation of the 2-level local government model from July 1, 2025.

The conference will organize specific model operations of the Party Committee, People's Council, and People's Committee of Dong Loc commune after the rearrangement and reorganization of administrative units.
For the Party Committee: Operate and organize the conference through working regulations, work programs, assign tasks to the Party Executive Committee of the commune, the Standing Committee of the Party Committee, establish advisory and support agencies of the Party Committee and plan to organize the Party Congress of the commune for the term 2025 - 2030.

On behalf of the Provincial Party Committee Standing Committee, the Provincial Party Committee Secretary acknowledged, commended and highly appreciated the agencies for their careful and thoughtful preparation and proactive implementation of the pilot operation of the 2-level local government model; especially appreciated the preparation and serious implementation of Dong Loc commune with a sense of responsibility, openness, and full implementation of the core contents of the pilot operation of the 2-level local government organization.

Through the conference, the Provincial Party Secretary assessed that the model in Dong Loc commune has successfully organized the activities of the Party Committee, People's Council, and People's Committee of the commune, especially discussing the mechanism to operate the Public Administration Service Center - a new unit at the commune level in the commune-level government model, which is the place to receive and handle administrative procedures for people and businesses.
In addition, technical work, transmission line connection, information technology infrastructure, human resource organization, coordination between levels and sectors were tested and the results were recorded. After the conference, the documents of Dong Loc commune continued to be completed to be transferred to new communes and wards to serve as sample documents for implementation.

Through the process of organizing the conference with high practicality, many initial lessons were drawn in effectively implementing the operation of the new organizational apparatus with the spirit of leanness, efficiency, effectiveness, flexibility, best meeting the requirements of serving the people and businesses.

In order to officially implement the two-level local government organization model from July 1, 2025 smoothly and effectively, meeting the requirements in the spirit of the Central Government's direction and the people's expectations, after the conference, Provincial Party Secretary Nguyen Duc Trung requested all levels, sectors, especially localities to carry out tasks in accordance with the direction and plan set out.
In particular, the Provincial Party Secretary requested that it is necessary to clearly define the 2-level local government model that will truly transform the state of serving people and businesses from a multi-level, multi-layered, passive state, solving problems of people and businesses that are sometimes rigid and mechanical, to a proactive, creative state and serving people and businesses better.
With that spirit, in the process before, during and after the conversion to the 2-level local government model, it is necessary to carry out the tasks of the new commune-level administrative unit. Party committees, authorities at all levels, the Fatherland Front, socio-political organizations, especially the leaders, must play a pioneering role, focus on the grassroots, closely follow and approach reality, and listen to people's opinions.

Provincial Party Secretary Nguyen Duc Trung also requested key comrades in the new communes and wards who have been assigned by the Provincial Party Standing Committee to hold the positions of Party Committee Secretary, People's Council Chairman, and People's Committee Chairman of 130 new communes and wards to proactively grasp and approach the work, proactively prepare conditions for effective implementation, operate and perform local functions and tasks, and unify the contents for implementation from today until before July 1. On July 1, 2025, all contents and documents on activities of the Party Committee, People's Council, and People's Committee of the commune must be issued for immediate implementation.
In addition, continue to review and strengthen the information technology infrastructure system connecting transmission lines, offices, vehicles, etc. to ensure that the operating conditions of communes and wards are truly effective, with attention paid to ensuring the operating conditions of the Public Administration Service Center. In particular, localities continue to focus on implementing the current work being deployed, not allowing work to be interrupted, not leaving fields and areas vacant, not affecting service to people and businesses.
In order for the new communes and wards to operate smoothly and effectively, Provincial Party Secretary Nguyen Duc Trung requested the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee to lead the Provincial People's Committee to direct the review and completion of the province's legal documents to comply with newly issued regulations of the Central Government, especially 28 Decrees of the Government on decentralization, delegation of power, and division of authority between the Central, provincial and commune and ward levels.

Organize public administrative procedures at each level, each sector, locality and unit; at the same time, promote propaganda and dissemination to all classes of people to grasp and organize implementation, ensuring smoothness, convenience and efficiency.
At the provincial level, establish standing units of the Party's staff committees and specialized agencies of the Provincial People's Committee with hotlines to immediately handle and resolve problems and situations arising in new communes and wards.

At the same time, proactively advise and coordinate to carefully prepare the conditions for organizing the conference to announce the Resolution of the National Assembly Standing Committee, the decisions of the Provincial Party Standing Committee on new commune-level administrative units, party organizations, and personnel work on June 30, 2025.
