(HBO) - Bui Van Tinh, member of the Party Central Committee and Secretary of the Hoa Binh provincial Party Committee, had a working session with officials of the Party Committees of Luong Son and Lac Thuy to discuss the building of these two localities into new-style rural districts in 2020.
Bui Van Tinh, member of the Party Central Committee and Secretary of the
Hoa Binh provincial Party Committee, addresses the working session.
By the end of 2018, Luong Son had had 11 of the
19 communes recognised as new-style rural areas. Each commune in the district
fulfilled 17.63 criteria on average, up 1.42 criteria from 2017. Luong Son has
yet to meet two standards - transport and health care-culture-education.
The communes that haven’t obtained the new-style
status were asked to complete the dossiers seeking the recognition in September
this year.
Meanwhile, the communal township of Luong Son
and its planned extension area have basically gathered all necessary conditions
to become a fourth-tier city.
In Lac Thuy district, eight of its 13 communes
have been named new-style rural areas. Each commune satisfied 16.92 criteria on
average, up 1.23 from 2017. Lac Thuy aims to reach all standards in 2020 and
apply for the new-style rural district recognition in 2021.
Speaking at the meeting, Secretary of the
provincial Party Committee Bui Van Tinh asked local authorities to have strong
political determination and mobilise the engagement of the whole political
system. They have to take concerted solutions so as to make strong progress in
the new-style rural area building and attaining the targets set in the
resolution of the 16th provincial Party congress.
Amid certain budget difficulties, to become
new-style rural districts in 2019 and 2030, Luong Son and Lac Thuy need even
stronger determination and creativity, especially in the mobilisation of
private funding sources, he noted.
He told them to make use of land-related revenue
to develop urban and rural infrastructure, fulfil the criteria that they
haven’t met, and compile dossiers seeking the new-style status for communes and
districts as scheduled.
The steering boards for new-style rural area
building, all-level authorities and sectors need to assign concrete tasks to
each individual and unit while focusing on fulfilling the standards they
haven’t met. They also need to maintain and improve the aspects for which
criteria have been satisfied, thereby ensuring the sustainability in the building
of new-style rural areas, Tinh added./.
After three years of implementing the Politburo’s Conclusion No. 01-KL/TW on continuing performing Directive 05-CT/TW on enhancing the learning and studying of President Ho Chi Minh’s thought, moral example and lifestyle, Lac Thuy district of Hoa Binh province has discovered many effective models and practices, creating a spillover effect in the local community, helping to develop a clean and strong Party Organisation meeting the requirements in the new situation.

Seventy years have passed, but the memories of the Dien Bien Phu campaign in 1954 have never faded in the mind of veteran Ly Van Ngoan from Dong Tien hamlet, Phu Thanh commune, Lac Thuy district.
Over recent times, in Mai Chau district, there have been many typical examples of studying and following President Ho Chi Minh's ideology, ethics, and lifestyle in all aspects of the social life, contributing to successfully implementing the tasks of socio-economic development, and ensuring social welfare and defence and security in the locality.
