Bui Van Khanh, Deputy Secretary of the provincial Party Committee and Chairman of the provincial People's Committee, on February 28 presided over a monthly meeting of the provincial People’s Committee to assess the implementation of the socio-economic development plan in the first quarter of 2024.
Bui Van Khanh, Deputy Secretary of the provincial Party
Committee and Chairman of the provincial People's Committee, concludes the
meeting.
Participating delegates focused their discussions on a draft report on the
implementation of the socio-economic development plan for the first quarter, as
well as key tasks and solutions set for the second quarter of 2024.
In the first quarter, Hoa Binh’s gross regional domestic product (GRDP) was
estimated to reach 1.92%. Industrial production saw robust growth from the
first month, with the industrial production index estimated to increase by
around 5.5% compared to the same period last year.
The
province's export turnover exceeded 477 million USD, up 36.39% year-on-year.
The number of tourists to the province, meanwhile, amounted to some 1.6
million, an annual rise of 22.7%. Hoa Binh collected more than 1.2 trillion VND
(48.68 million USD) for the state budget, while giving the green light to three
domestic projects worth about 500 billion VND. Social security and public order
were also ensured.
However, the participants also pointed out that the province's GRDP growth and
public investment disbursement rate remained low, with land clearance and
compensation work facing many difficulties and delays.
They also gave opinions on a progress report of key projects in the province, a
draft decision of the provincial People's Committee on the approval of the
operation process of Mien Doi 2 hydropower reservoir in Lac Son district, and a
proposal for issuing the province’s investment promotion programme this year,
among many others.
In his remarks at the meeting, Khanh emphasised that the province's general
planning scheme has been approved, serving as a basis and driving force for its
growth.
However, there should be a plan for the implementation of the planning scheme,
he said, asking the Department of Planning and Investment to quickly develop
such a plan for submission to the Government on schedule.
It is also necessary to further adjust the province's land use planning
according to the province's general planning scheme, the official noted. For
projects that are slow in fulfilling financial tax obligations and businesses
with overdue tax debts, firm response measures should be taken, Khanh added.
He also requested that districts and cities review their personnel affairs to
arrange suitable officials with sufficient capacity for their positions.
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.
