According to Resolution 175, the National Assembly decided to establish Hue City as a centrally governed municipality, covering the entire natural area of 4,947.11 square kilometers and a population of 1,236,393 from Thua Thien Hue Province.
On the morning of November 30, the National Assembly passed the resolution establishing Hue City as a centrally governed municipality.
Furthermore, agencies, organizations, and units named after Thua Thien Hue Province will be renamed to reflect "Hue City" upon the resolution's effective date. The Government, the People’s Council (PC), and the People’s Committee (PCo) of Thua Thien Hue Province (which will be referred to as Hue City PC and PCo after the resolution takes effect) and other relevant agencies and organizations are tasked with implementing the resolution, restructuring local administrative organizations, and ensuring social and economic development, defense, and security.
Should a district PC in Hue City lack two-thirds of the elected members as stipulated in Article 46(1)(a) of the Law on Local Government Organization, the SCNA will appoint an Acting Chairman of the district PC, as recommended by the Hue City PC, to fulfill responsibilities per Article 138(3) of the Law. The Hue City PCo is authorized to appoint acting chairpersons and establish temporary district PCs and their specialized departments, which will function until the district PCs for the 2026-2031 term are constituted.
