Thu Duc will kick off its administrative apparatus Friday to officially operate as a city within HCMC.
A meeting on Friday will elect personnel for Thu Duc City’s legislative arm, or People’s Council, and its executive unit, People’s Committee, according to Ho Chi Minh City’s Department of Home Affairs.
Thu Duc City came to life on Dec. 9 after the National Assembly greenlighted its establishment as "a city within a city" in HCMC.
