(HBO) – Within the framework of his working visit to Hoa Binh province, Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh had a meeting with top leaders of the locality. Attending the working session were Minister of Finance Ho Duc Phoc, Secretary of Hoa Binh provincial Party Committee Nguyen Phi Long, Permanent Vice Secretary of the Party Committee and Chairman of the People’s Council Bui Duc Hinh, and Vice Secretary of the Party Committee and Chairman of the People’s Committee Bui Van Khanh, among others.

Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh speaks at the working
session.
Khanh said that in 2022, under the comprehensive leadership
of the Party Committee and authorities, Hoa Binh fulfilled 18 out of the 19
socio-economic development criteria.
He proposed the Government allow Hoa Binh to compile
dossiers towards the recognition of Trai hamlet cave and ‘Mai da lang Vanh’
(Vanh village’s stone shelter) relic sites in Lac Son district as special
national relic sites, and allow the province to make a dossier to submit to
UNESCO for the recognition of the Hoa Binh civilisation as a world heritage of
humanity. He also suggested the Government have mechanisms and policies to
invest in socio-economic development of communes in specific regions.
Speaking at the meeting, Secretary Long stated that with its
advantages, the provincial Party Committee has identified four strategic
breakthroughs of planning, administrative reform, human resources development
associated with digital transformation, and modern infrastructure development;
and four sustainable growth pillars of tourism, manufacturing, agriculture, and
satellite housing.
Prime Minister Chinh said that Hoa Binh holds many potential
and advantages for economic development and investment attraction, and has
adequate opportunities and conditions to become a more civilised, richer, and
more beautiful locality.
However, the province's economic development has not been
commensurate with its potential and advantages, he noted, adding that the
reason is that Hoa Binh has not been able to connect with the key economic
regions in the north.
He asked the province to bring into full play its potential
and competitiveness advantages, ensure harmony between economic growth and
culture development, social welfare, environmental protection and defence – security
assurance.
The Government leader assigned ministries, sectors, and the
province to take drastic measures to soon complete three regional connectivity
routes: Hoa Binh-Hanoi, Hoa Binh-Moc Chau, and a road connecting Hoa Binh and
Hanoi and Son La expressway.
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.
