What is province? Regulations on standards of administrative units of provinces and centrally run cities? Regulations on classification standards and scoring methods of administrative units of provinces and centrally run cities.
Vietnam is implementing State management according to the principle of decentralization and decentralization of management from central to local levels. In fact, decentralization of management in the most common sense is the administrative management regime “assigned to a collective or an administrative unit – self-managed territory, has legal status, has rights and certain resources, under the control of the State”. Therefore, in each locality, there will be separate administrative units that are decentralized by the State to manage, supervise and handle the activities of that locality and are responsible for reporting the situation to the central State agency. . Accordingly, a province or city directly under the central government is a local state agency authorized by the State to manage all activities in that locality. Vietnam has 63 localities, equivalent to 63 provinces/cities directly under the central government. So what is province? What is the law on provinces and centrally run cities?
