Under the central and local government resolutions and decisions, localities nationwide also announced the appointment of personnel at the provincial, municipal, commune, ward, and special zone levels. These new structures will become officially operational starting July 1.
The Politburo and the Party Central Committee's Secretariat have assigned their officials to attend the official announcement ceremonies in various localities.
The Party Committees of cities and provinces have delegated members of the Standing and Executive Committees to oversee and participate in the ceremonies. They direct the formal handover of resolutions and decisions from central and provincial authorities to administrative units, including communes, wards, and special zones. These local ceremonies mirror the central-level events and are scheduled for completion by the end of June 30.
The handover is a landmark political event of historic significance for the nation. It will lay the foundation for the official commencement of two-tier local administrations and the operation of provincial and grassroots-level agencies and units, including communes, wards, and special zones, beginning July 1.
