Highlighting that the streamlining process was now entering its second phase, focusing on restructuring at the commune and ward levels, the top legislator pointed out that after the Constitution is revised, consideration will be given to the abolition of the district level and restructuring the provincial level.

The NA Chairman urged relevant agencies and units to lead and direct the political and ideological work among officials, Party members, and the people, while remaining vigilant against hostile forces that might exploit the streamlining revolution to undermine or distort the process.

He also urged NA agencies to closely coordinate with government bodies to carefully prepare the contents to submit to the Politburo and the Party Central Committee, ensuring progress, quality, and compliance with the set requirements./.
