Bui Van Khanh, Deputy Secretary of the provincial Party Committee and Chairman of the provincial People's Committee, on February 28 presided over a monthly meeting of the provincial People’s Committee to assess the implementation of the socio-economic development plan in the first quarter of 2024.
Bui Van Khanh, Deputy Secretary of the provincial Party
Committee and Chairman of the provincial People's Committee, concludes the
meeting.
Participating delegates focused their discussions on a draft report on the
implementation of the socio-economic development plan for the first quarter, as
well as key tasks and solutions set for the second quarter of 2024.
In the first quarter, Hoa Binh’s gross regional domestic product (GRDP) was
estimated to reach 1.92%. Industrial production saw robust growth from the
first month, with the industrial production index estimated to increase by
around 5.5% compared to the same period last year.
The
province's export turnover exceeded 477 million USD, up 36.39% year-on-year.
The number of tourists to the province, meanwhile, amounted to some 1.6
million, an annual rise of 22.7%. Hoa Binh collected more than 1.2 trillion VND
(48.68 million USD) for the state budget, while giving the green light to three
domestic projects worth about 500 billion VND. Social security and public order
were also ensured.
However, the participants also pointed out that the province's GRDP growth and
public investment disbursement rate remained low, with land clearance and
compensation work facing many difficulties and delays.
They also gave opinions on a progress report of key projects in the province, a
draft decision of the provincial People's Committee on the approval of the
operation process of Mien Doi 2 hydropower reservoir in Lac Son district, and a
proposal for issuing the province’s investment promotion programme this year,
among many others.
In his remarks at the meeting, Khanh emphasised that the province's general
planning scheme has been approved, serving as a basis and driving force for its
growth.
However, there should be a plan for the implementation of the planning scheme,
he said, asking the Department of Planning and Investment to quickly develop
such a plan for submission to the Government on schedule.
It is also necessary to further adjust the province's land use planning
according to the province's general planning scheme, the official noted. For
projects that are slow in fulfilling financial tax obligations and businesses
with overdue tax debts, firm response measures should be taken, Khanh added.
He also requested that districts and cities review their personnel affairs to
arrange suitable officials with sufficient capacity for their positions.
The Steering Committee for the Development of Science, Technology, Innovation, and Digital Transformation of Hoa Binh province convened a meeting on March 11 to deploy key tasks.
Lac Son district is reorganising and streamlining its organisational apparatus and the contingent of officials, civil servants and public employees in line with Resolution 18 issued by the 12th Party Central Committee.
The provincial Department of Public Security has reorganised its structure to enhance operational efficiency and meet the evolving demands of the new era. In line with the Resolution No. 25 of the Central Public Security Party Committee, the move aims to streamline personnel, standardise leadership roles, and strengthen the police force’s capacity while creating better conditions for modernising equipment.
The subcommittee for documents of the 18th Hoa Binh provincial Party Congress, the 2025 - 2030 term, convened on March 3 to review and incorporate public feedback on the congress’s draft documents. The meeting was chaired by Nguyen Phi Long, an alternate member of the Party Central Committee and Secretary of the Hoa Binh provincial Party Committee. It was attended by senior provincial officials, including Bui Thi Minh, Permanent Deputy Secretary of the provincial Party Committee and Chairwoman of the provincial People’s Council; Bui Duc Hinh, Deputy Secretary of the provincial Party Committee and Chairman of the provincial People’s Committee; other members of the Standing Board of the provincial Party Committee; and members of the document subcommittee.
Muong Bi - Tan Lac, one of the four major Muong ethnic minority-inhabited regions in Hoa Binh, is known for not only its distinctive cultural identity but also its proud history of heroism, with great contributions to the victory against US invaders in the past. Today, Tan Lac district continues to uphold this legacy while embracing development and renewal.
March 3 marked the first official working day for specialised agencies under the provincial People's Committee following the merger or transfer of functions and tasks from the previous agencies. On this day, the newly merged departments and agencies took proactive steps to arrange personnel, organise workflows, and implement tasks efficiently, ensuring that administrative procedures were carried out smoothly without interruption.
