Regarding the national target programme for sustainable poverty reduction in Hoa Binh, the meeting noted that the province has met or exceeded several targets set by the provincial Party Committee's Resolution No. 16-NQ/TU, dated August 11, 2017. Between 2021 and 2024, the household poverty rate declined from 15.49% to 6.59%, with a projected reduction to 5.31% by the end of 2025, achieving an average annual decrease of 2.55%.
In his closing remarks, Long urged the provincial leadership to maintain unity and determination in executing political and development tasks. He underscored that key officials must act as a pillar of support and unity while steering the realisation of focal tasks, particularly in restructuring administrative apparatus, to contribute to local development.
He noted that efforts are needed to help the province achieve economic growth of over 10% this year to contribute to national economic expansion. Other priorities include accelerating major infrastructure projects, improving healthcare services, preserving and promoting the cultural heritage of the Muong ethnic group and the Hoa Binh Civilisation, and promoting the implementation of the Politburo’s Resolution No. 57-NQ/TW on breakthroughs in sci-tech development, innovation and digital transformation.
Additionally, Hoa Binh is set to continue attempts to effectively carry out the national target programme on sustainable poverty reduction.
