The National Assembly unanimously passes sweeping constitutional amendments, with all 470 delegates present voting in favor.

The amended Constitution regulates that district-level administrations nationwide shall cease operations on July 1, 2025, which means that local governance shall be reorganized into two-tier administration system - provincial- and communal-level administrations.

He stressed that it will set the stage for building a powerful and prosperous Viet Nam where its citizens live in happiness.
