(HBO) - joining the whole nation, people of all ethnic groups in northern Hoa Binh province are celebrating 75 years since the August Revolution and the 75th National Day (September 2).
Tran Hung Dao Road in Hoa Binh city is decorated to mark the
National Day.
Seventy-five years ago, in response to the Party
and President Ho Chi Minh’s appeal, local residents joined people nationwide to
drive off foreign rulers to seize and return power to the people. With only
rudimentary weapons, mostly canes and spears, people in Hoa Binh rose up to
help liberate the country from colonialism and feudalism and turn the
Vietnamese people from slaves to masters of the country.
Since that 1945 autumn, many local communities
have chosen the National Day as their Independence Festival. The desire for
freedom helped the Vietnamese army and people to weather hardships to win the
two protracted resistance wars and gain successes in national development and
defence. The traditional patriotism and revolutionary steadfastness have been
giving more strength to Hoa Binh to overcome difficulties and obtain important
achievements.
From a very low starting point, the province has
been engaging in nationwide reform efforts. Used to be small town, Hoa Binh
city is currently home to civilised and modern residential areas with
continually improved living standards. Meanwhile, remote villages in Da Bac,
Mai Chau and Tan Lac districts are now accessible thanks to roads built and
internet connection. The power grid has also been expanded to all rural
hamlets.
Hoa Binh is no longer a poor mountainous
province but confidently working towards prosperity. It now has famous farm
produce like oranges and pomelos of Cao Phong, Tan Lac and Lac Thuy, fish in Da
River, and many other specialities. A number of villages around Hoa Binh
Reservoir have been equipped with roads, electricity and welfare facilities.
The development of fishery, community-based tourism and local specialities has
helped raise local per capita income strongly to 63.8 million VND (over 2,700
USD), higher than the average of the northern midland and mountainous region
and equivalent to 92 percent of the national average.
Local infrastructure has been developed while
many projects and facilities have been put into use, giving Hoa Binh a
competitive edge in attracting investment and tapping into tourism, service and
industrial potential. Over the last few years, the province has attracted
billions of USD worth of investment into tourism, eco-urban area and industrial
projects. It has also topped northwestern provinces in new-style countryside
building.
This year’s Independence Festival is more
meaningful than ever as it marks a new stage of reforms to achieve higher
targets, including turning Hoa Binh into a province of integration and
development towards prosperity and happiness./.
Nguyen Phi Long, alternate member of the Party Central Committee and Secretary of the Hoa Binh provincial Party Committee, and other officials on April 8 examined some key transport projects, namely the road connecting Tran Hung Dao Road and Dan Chu ward with National Highway 6, the regional connectivity road linking Hoa Binh and Hanoi with Son La Expressway (Hoa Binh - Moc Chau), and the first phase of a road from Luong Son township of Hoa Binh to Xuan Mai township of Hanoi.
Hoa Binh province recorded nearly 20 cases of religion-related wrongdoings in 2023 and the first two months of 2024. However, thanks to their active and effective engagement, relevant agencies and religious organisations have helped the provincial and district-level People’s Committees deal with those cases in a timely manner and in line with legal regulations, thus ensuring religious freedom.
The Hoa Binh provincial People’s Committee held its monthly conference in virtual form on April 2 to review draft documents to be submitted to the standing board of the provincial Party Committee and others under its management along with some other important issues. Vice Secretary of the provincial Party Committee and Chairman of the provincial People’s Committee Bui Van Khanh chaired the event, which was connected with the people's committees of districts and cities in Hoa Binh.
Smokeless 'Hoang Cam' kitchen was a small yet extremely significant initiative of a soldier chef named Hoang Cam in the Hoa Binh campaign in 1951 – 1952.
