At the event, provincial leaders reported on the

In the first quarter of 2023, Hoa Binh posted
growth of 3.88% in gross regional domestic product (GRDP), including 4.19% in
the agro-forestry-fishery sector, 2.92% in industry and construction, and 5.6%
in the service sector, while tax revenue from products was down 0.55%.
The index of industrial production in April
increased 15.85% year on year. The four-month exports rose 8.95% from a year
earlier to 493.642 million USD, accounting for 29.12% of this year’s target.
Meanwhile, the State budget collection approximated 1.64 trillion VND (nearly
70 million USD) by the end of May, equivalent to 31% of the target set by the
Government and 91% of the value recorded in the same period last year.
Hoa Binh was assigned by the Government with
more than 10 trillion VND in public investment capital from the State budget
for this year. Of that sum, it has allocated over 5.49 trillion VND, or 54%, to
projects. About 608.7 billion VND, or 6% of the plan, had been disbursed as of
April 30.
As of May 15, the province recorded 157 newly
established businesses, equivalent to 77% of the figure in the same period last
year and 33% of this year’s target.
At the meeting, participants analysed obstacles
and shortcomings, and submitted proposals on several issues.
On behalf of Hoa Binh leaders, Nguyen Phi Long,
alternate member of the Party Central Committee and Secretary of the provincial
Party Committee, provided further information about the local socio-economic
situation and pointed out difficulties and hindrances to development. He proposed
the Government and the Prime Minister increase the decentralisation of power
for local administrations and tackle problems relevant to public investment,
changes of land use purposes, forest land management, regulations on fire
prevention and control, lending interest rates, and adjustments to land use
planning.
He proposed the Ministry of Science and
Technology, as well as other ministries and sectors, will continue paying
attention to and handle Hoa Binh’s proposals early in order to help the province
reach the socio-economic targets set by the Government and the Prime Minister.
In his remarks, Huynh Thanh Dat, member of the
Party Central Committee and Minister of Science and Technology, highly valued
the province’s encouraging results in production, business, public investment,
infrastructure building, and foreign trade amid numerous difficulties in the
first months of 2023.
He asked the province to promote the sense of
responsibility among leaders of agencies and units. He also told relevant ministries
and sectors to work with Hoa Binh to devise solutions to outstanding problems
or report difficulties to the Government and the Prime Minister for settlement.
On this occasion, Hoa Binh officials presented
flowers to congratulate the minister on the Vietnam Science and Technology Day,
May 18./.
Nguyen Phi Long, alternate member of the Party Central Committee and Secretary of the Hoa Binh provincial Party Committee, and other officials on April 8 examined some key transport projects, namely the road connecting Tran Hung Dao Road and Dan Chu ward with National Highway 6, the regional connectivity road linking Hoa Binh and Hanoi with Son La Expressway (Hoa Binh - Moc Chau), and the first phase of a road from Luong Son township of Hoa Binh to Xuan Mai township of Hanoi.
Hoa Binh province recorded nearly 20 cases of religion-related wrongdoings in 2023 and the first two months of 2024. However, thanks to their active and effective engagement, relevant agencies and religious organisations have helped the provincial and district-level People’s Committees deal with those cases in a timely manner and in line with legal regulations, thus ensuring religious freedom.
The Hoa Binh provincial People’s Committee held its monthly conference in virtual form on April 2 to review draft documents to be submitted to the standing board of the provincial Party Committee and others under its management along with some other important issues. Vice Secretary of the provincial Party Committee and Chairman of the provincial People’s Committee Bui Van Khanh chaired the event, which was connected with the people's committees of districts and cities in Hoa Binh.
Smokeless 'Hoang Cam' kitchen was a small yet extremely significant initiative of a soldier chef named Hoang Cam in the Hoa Binh campaign in 1951 – 1952. This legendary stove, later named after him, accompanied the nation in the 1954 Dien Bien Phu Campaign, and during the resistance war against the US.
The 15th meeting of Hoa Binh province’s 17th-tenure Party organisation was held on March 26.
