(HBO) – Secretary of the provincial Party Committee Ngo Van Tuan recently had a working session with the Management Board of Industrial Parks (IPs) of Hoa Binh province to look into local industrial development.
The working session between Secretary of the provincial Party
Committee Ngo Van Tuan and officials of the Hoa Binh Management Board of
Industrial Parks.
Hoa Binh province houses eight IPs that are
included in Vietnam’s IP development plan until 2020. They cover more than
1,507ha of land, equivalent to 0.33 percent of the province’s area. So far,
three of these IPs, namely Luong Son, Yen Quang, and Bo trai Song Da (Left Bank
of the Da River), have had infrastructure investors while four have welcomed
secondary investors with 60 of the 98 registered projects already operational,
greatly helping with economic restructuring, job creation, and increase of
export value.
Despite this, the number of investment projects
in these IPs remains modest and their registered capital is still small. There
are certain obstacles to site clearance for projects while industrial
infrastructure has yet to be developed synchronously, making IPs unattractive
to secondary investors.
Facing those problems, representatives of provincial
departments and sectors proposed several solutions to reach the targeted 1
percent of the province’s area for industry. In particular, they suggested more
attention be paid to planning, coordination be boosted to handle administrative
procedures, poor-performing investors be strictly dealt with, and capable ones
be selected to step up industrial development.
Addressing the session, Secretary of the
provincial Party Committee Ngo Van Tuan cited the Resolution of the 17th provincial
Party Congress as stating that industrial development is the momentum for the
local economy, and that priority must be given to industrial infrastructure
development, the occupancy rate at IPs be raised to 80 percent, and 1 percent
of the province area be zoned off for industry by 2025.
To realise the above-mentioned targets, high
resolve and effective methods are needed to tackle bottlenecks in industrial
development, he said, asking the management board and the provincial Department
of Industry and Trade to work together to draft orientations for industrial
development which must ensure environmental protection, prioritise industries
with high added value, and be associated with urban area and service
development.
Relevant agencies need to complete the
industrial development plan; align their sectors’ development plans with the
provincial one; increase the management of planning, especially land planning;
and deal with projects lagging behind schedule.
The Civil Party Affairs Board of the provincial
People’s Committee has to direct relevant agencies to build regulations on
coordination in dealing with administrative procedures for businesses and set
up criteria for selecting capable infrastructure investors so as to attract
investment to industrial development./.
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.
