(HBO) – The Hoa Binh provincial People’s Committee held a ceremony on February 26 to start the construction of a road connecting Hoa Binh and Hanoi, and the Son La Expressway section linking Hoa Binh and Moc Chau district of the neighbouring province of Son La.
The
event, held in Du Doi hamlet of Hoa Binh city’s Mong Hoa commune, was attended
by Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh, Minister of Finance Ho Duc Phoc, and Auditor
General of the State Audit Office of Vietnam Ngo Van Tuan. Local officials
present at the ceremony included Nguyen Phi Long, alternate member of the Party
Central Committee and Secretary of the provincial Party Committee; Bui Duc
Hinh, Standing Deputy Secretary of the provincial Party Committee and Chairman
of the provincial People’s Council; and Bui Van Khanh, Deputy Secretary of the
provincial Party Committee and Chairman of the provincial People’s Committee.
Prime
Minister Pham Minh Chinh and central and local officials press the buttons to
launch work on the Hoa Binh - Hanoi road and Son La Expressway project.
The Hoa Binh - Hanoi road and Son La Expressway
(Hoa Binh - Moc Chau) project have a total investment of 4.12 trillion VND
(173.2 million USD). The first section is 31.48km long and the second, 12.35km,
including Hoa Binh 5 Bridge which will be built in another project.
The first section is invested with almost 1.83
trillion VND funded by the central budget and the province’s budget for the
2021 - 2025 period. It will be built from 2022 to 2027.
This is a key project of Hoa Binh province that
aims to form a transport network connecting regions, thereby helping reduce the
distance and travel time on the Hanoi - Hoa Binh city - Kim Boi route, and
enhance the connectivity of Ha Nam, Hoa Binh, Phu Tho, and Son La provinces
with the national transport infrastructure system. Besides, it is also expected
to create conditions for tapping into the potential and advantages for service
and tourism development in Kim Boi district, as well as boosting socio-economic
development in Hoa Binh province.
Addressing the event, Prime Minister Pham Minh
Chinh affirmed that building socio-economic infrastructure, especially uniform
and modern transport one, will serve as a stepping stone for Hoa Binh province
to develop and become an important transport gateway linking with Hanoi and
neighbouring provinces.
He stressed the importance of the Hoa Binh - Hanoi
road and Son La Expressway (Hoa Binh - Moc Chau) project to regional
connectivity, and assigned tasks to relevant parties.
The leader expressed his belief that residents
in the localities traversed by the route will uphold their tradition like
during the construction period of the Hoa Binh hydropower plant to give
wholehearted support so that the project can be completed early./.
With the motto of "polite, dedicated, professional, and lawful,” over the years, Phu Cuong commune in Tan Lac district has gradually improved the quality of processing administrative procedures, winning high satisfaction from local people and businesses.
Stretching over 300 meters, valued at hundreds of million dong and built to the new-style rural standards, a concrete road in De hamlet, Bac Phong commune, Cao Phong district, was completed by the end of 2023 thanks to the collective contributions of armed forces at provincial and district levels coupled with the active participation of military units stationed throughout the district.
Over the years, the People’s Committee of Lac Thuy district has issued many plans and programmes to speed up the administrative reform, aiming to better serve local people and businesses.
Kim Boi district is drafting 23 planning projects which are expected to help boost the local socio-economic development, attract investors, and mobilise resources for development, said Vice chairman of the district People’s Committee Tran Tuan Son.
They include the one on Bo urban area development until 2045, 20 zoning, and 12 on rural residential areas in communes.
This year, Hoa Binh province strives to have eight communes recognised as meeting new-style rural area standards and five communes satisfying exemplary new-style rural area standards. Since the beginning of the year, the provincial People's Committee has drastically directed the implementation of the national target programme on new-style rural area building to fulfil the set target.
Cao Phong district achieved positive socio-economic development results last year as drastic comprehensive measures were implemented with high determination of its whole political system, said the Secretary of the district Party Committee Ha Van Di.
