Provincial leaders and delegates cut a ribbon to inaugurate the mural.
The mural, located at the Hoa Binh Military Command headquarters, embodies the enduring bond between the military and civilians throughout the 77-year history of the local armed forces. Titled "Quan dan Hoa Binh (Military and people of Hoa Binh”), the artwork is crafted from colorful ceramic mosaics and divided into three sections. It portrays the historical and cultural traditions of the land and people of Hoa Binh since the founding of the Party and the establishment of the provincial armed forces. It highlights the growth and development of the forces, the strong bond between the military and civilians in the cause of building and defending the fatherland, and key activities of the forces in recent times.
On this occasion, the Ministry of National Defence awarded the insignia "For the cause of VPA's building" to five provincial leaders for their distinctive services.

On the fierce Da River, over 30,000 engineers, sappers, and construction workers battled against rocky mountains and raging floods to achieve a remarkable feat. The Hoa Binh Hydropower Plant, the largest of its kind in Southeast Asia at that time, officially began generating electricity, lighting up the North and ushering in a new era of industrialisation.
