(HBO) – A delegation of the Party Central Committee’s Economic Commission, led by Vice Chairman Nguyen Duy Hung, had a working session with leaders of Hoa Binh province on October 29 to look into the implementation of Resolution No. 26-NQ/TW on agriculture, farmers, and rural areas, issued by the 10th-tenure Party Central Committee.

Chairman of the Party Central Committee’s Economic Commission Nguyen Duy Hung
addresses the meeting.
Hoa Binh province issued a resolution and an
action plan for the resolution's implementation and has obtained significant
results.
The agro-forestry-fishery sector has grown by
4.02 percent on average and by 3.98 percent during 2016 - 2020, almost doubling
the national average, which has made Hoa Binh one of the best performers in
this regard in the northern mountainous region.
Among outstanding results of new-style
countryside building efforts, 55 of the 129 communes and three of the 10
district-level localities in the province have been recognised as new-style
rural areas. Meanwhile, 12 communes have met advanced new-style countryside
criteria, and 46 residential areas been named role models. The average annual
per capita income in rural areas has increased by about 2.5 million VND to 34.5
million VND (1,500 USD) in 2020, rising nine-fold from 2008. The household
poverty rate in rural areas is expected to drop to 6.6 percent this year.
However, local officials said, there remain
numerous difficulties in production connection, science - technology
application, brand building, and product advertising. The production scale is
still small, local income low, and the household poverty rate high despite a
decrease.
Hoa Binh proposed central agencies issue special
mechanisms for disadvantaged areas so as to concurrently guarantee security -
defence, boost socio-economic development, and promote livelihoods for local
residents. It also called for incentives and support for investment in
agricultural and rural development, facilitation of collectives and
individuals’ access to concessional loans to fund farm produce processing and
preservation so as to improve product quality and value, and more resources for
developing infrastructure and improving livelihoods in ethnic
minority-inhabited areas.
The delegation of the Party Central
Committee’s Economic Commission visits an orange farm in Bac Phong commune of
Cao Phong district.
Speaking at the event, Bui Duc Hinh, Standing
Vice Secretary of the provincial Party Committee and Chairman of the provincial
People’s Council, provided more information about the achievements,
difficulties, and advantages in the resolution implementation in Hoa Binh.
He expressed his hope that the Economic Commission
will assist the province in effectively carrying out agricultural and rural
development orientations for the time ahead.
Vice Chairman of the commission Nguyen Duy Hung
recognised the province’s attainments in realising Resolution No. 26-NQ/TW, noting
that the delegation’s working visit aimed to record achievements, causes of
shortcomings, and experience in the resolution implementation so as to help the
Party Central Committee issue a new resolution for promoting rural development
in the time to come.
Earlier, the delegation had made a fact-finding
tour of orange farming in Bac Phong commune and had a working session on
new-style countryside building with Tay Phong commune of Cao Phong district./.
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.
The Hoa Binh Elderly Association and the provincial Department of Labour, Invalids and Social Affairs on May 7 held a working session with a visiting delegation from the Japanese Embassy and sponsors of a local project on reducing senior citizens’ income and health vulnerabilities in Vietnam (VIE071).
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.
