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.
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. This legendary stove, later named after him, accompanied the nation in the 1954 Dien Bien Phu Campaign, and during the resistance war against the US.
The 15th meeting of Hoa Binh province’s 17th-tenure Party organisation was held on March 26. Secretary of the provincial Party Committee Nguyen Phi Long, Permanent Deputy Secretary of the Party Committee and Chairman of the provincial People's Council Bui Duc Hinh, and Deputy Secretary of the Party Committee and Chairman of the provincial People’s Committee Bui Van Khanh co-chaired the event.
Nguyen Phi Long, alternate member of the Party Central Committee and Secretary of the Hoa Binh provincial Party Committee, chaired a meeting of the provincial Party Committee’s Standing Board on March 21 to review the leadership over the implementation of tasks in the first quarter, identify focal tasks and solutions for the second quarter, and discuss some important draft reports.
