(HBO) – Nguyen Vu Chi, Deputy Head of the Hoa Binh Provincial Party Committee's Commission for Information and Education, said the committee has always paid attention to and maintained collaboration with the Party Committee of the Vietnam People’s Navy in stepping up the dissemination of information about seas and islands, thereby raising the awareness of officials, Party members and people from all walks of life about their significance to the cause of national construction and defence; viewpoints of the Party and State as well as solutions to protect the country's sovereignty. Particularly, the two sides signed a joint programme to popularise information on the country's seas and islands in July 2018.
The dissemination of information about Vietnam’s seas and islands is
usually carried out in combination with other activities.
The provincial Party Committee has directed Party committees at all levels,
localities, agencies and units to boost the dissemination of information about
seas and islands in combination with external affairs, border demarcation,
border marker planting and management and local socio-economic development
tasks. The communication work has been expanded with contents that are relevant
to each locality. Methods of communication have been diversified and always
been renovated, focusing on oral communication for speakers, teachers and
students of high schools in the locality.
Notably, between the end of April and the beginning of May 2022, a
provincial delegation visited and presented gifts to officers, soldiers and
people of Truong Sa island district and DK1 platform. Two online conferences
were held with the participation of 2,500 delegates in 2022. Two conferences on
the dissemination of information on seas and islands were also held for 2,160
teachers and students of Hoang Van Thu High School for Gifted Students and
provincial ethnic boarding high school.
The province published 60 news bulletins on the monthly
activities of the Party cells and handed over 300,000 copies to over 600 Party
committees at the grassroots level to provide official information about the
homeland’s seas and islands. Dozens of exhibitions that showcased legal
documents on "Hoang Sa and Truong Sa - Historical evidence" were
organised in localities.
Up to 15,000 cadres, Party members, and people were mobilised to
take part in the contest on knowledge of Vietnam’s seas and islands and the
65-year tradition of the heroic Vietnam People's Navy (VPN) held by the
Political Department of the VPN.
According to Chi, in the coming time, the province will continue to closely
coordinate with the Naval Technical Institute to well implement communications
on seas and islands in the province. Attention will be paid to disseminating
basic knowledge and legal documents on the country’s seas and islands,
international laws, Vietnam’s law of the sea, and legal basis affirming its
sovereigntysovereign rights and jurisdictionover the Hoang Sa and
Truong Sa archipelagos.
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). This meaningful activity took place in the joyful atmosphere to celebrate the country's major holidays and the Party congresses at all levels for the 2025-2030 term, towards the 14th National Party Congress.
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 delegation included 12 senior officials from various provincial agencies and units.
Storytelling and painting contests honouring President Ho Chi Minh have been held at the Hoa Binh provincial Youth Activity Centre.
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.
