At the ceremony,
Chairman of the Vietnam-Romania Friendship Association Tong Van Nga praised
Romania’s growth to become a modern country that actively integrates in
European and global structures for peace and stability in the world.
He said despite the fact that Vietnam and Romania have
witnessed the bilateral ties expanding across fields, their economic-trade
cooperation still falls short of potential, with bilateral trade reaching just
above 200 million USD in 2017.
Nga thanked the Romanian Government’s support and assistance
towards Vietnam in its past struggle for national independence and current
cause of national development, and toward Vietnamese expatriates living in the
country.
He expected that the relations between the two countries and
their people will further develop in the coming time.
Romanian Ambassador to Vietnam Valeriu Arteni said based on
their historical similarities, the Romanian and Vietnamese people are getting
closer and joining hands in boosting the friendship and multifaceted
cooperation between the two nations.
Lauding the role of the Vietnam-Romania Friendship
Association, the diplomat said its activities have become a bridge linking the
Romanian and Vietnamese people and their nations.

In mid-May, the provincial Museum organised an exhibition named "Duoi la co Dang Cong san Viet Nam quang vinh” (Under the flag of the glorious Communist Party of Vietnam).

A delegation from Hoa Binh province led by Colonel Trinh Duc Thiem, Commander of the provincial Military Command, completed a mission to visit and encourage officers and soldiers stationed on Truong Sa and a DK1 platform from May 20 to 26 as part of activities of the Vietnam People’s Navy.

The Hoa Binh provincial People's Committee held a gathering at the provincial Military Command headquarters on May 20 to commend the armed forces that took part in a military parade celebrating the 50th anniversary of the Liberation of the South and National Reunification on April 30.
Throughout his revolutionary life, Uncle Ho visited Hoa Binh province four times. He also sent dozens of letters, telegrams, greeting cards, and heartfelt messages to local officials, Party members, and people of all ethnic groups, urging them to remain united, support one another, strive for progress, and actively engage in both production and resistance efforts to build a prosperous homeland.
To unlock the full potential of its forest resources, the standing board of the provincial Party Committee on July 30, 2020 issued a Resolution on the sustainable development of production forests through 2025, with a vision toward 2030.
