After three months of implementation, the two-tier local administration model has shown positive progress, reflecting the Party’s wise and drastic leadership, and the responsible, creative efforts by authorities at all levels, sectors and localities, said Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh.

Vietnam’s rollout of two-tier local administration model and restructuring of provincial administrative units is a sound policy that conforms to global trends. Dr. Luong Tuan Anh from the UK’s De Montfort University told the Vietnam News Agency (VNA)'s resident reporters in London.

Vietnam’s shift to a two-tier local administration model marked a historic institutional reform, underscoring the country’s determination to streamline its state apparatus, making it more efficient, effective, and closer to the people. The change has drawn great attention from Indonesian scholars and the Vietnamese community living and working in the country.
