(HBO) – Secretary of the Hoa Binh provincial Party Committee Bui Van Tinh, who is also member of the Party Central Committee, recently had a working session with the Aiworld Group joint Stock Company to discuss a feasibility study project on EcoSmartCity in the province.
Bui Van Tinh, member of the Party Central
Committee and Secretary of the provincial Party Committee, listens to the investor’s
report about the EcoSmartCity project in Hoa Binh.
A representative from the Aiworld Group JSC said EcoSmartCity is a city in
which information and communication technology (ICT) is applied to all
activities, bringing high efficiency in administrative management and
socio-economic development as well as improving the quality of life for people,
and ensuring sustainable development.
Hoa Binh has favourable conditions to pursue
this model, which will create a firm foundation for the province to promote its
internal strength and make effective use of external sources to become one of
the localities to catch up with the global development trend.
The project will be carried out in five
districts, namely Ky Son, Luong Son, Da Bac, Lac Thuy and Kim Boi, with a total
investment of about 500-700 billion USD within nearly 70 years.
Aiworld Group JSC hopes the province will
promulgate more regulations and IT application conditions in EcoSmartCity to
push the implementation of infrastructure building.
The group will coordinate with consulting units,
domestic and foreign investors to map out plans and estimate the investment
budget for building the EcoSmartCity under the project when it is approved.
Priorities will be given to building infrastructure to facilitate the
connection of smart applications in the future.
At the working session, participants agreed that
the EcoSmartCity project is a big one that needs long time to complete.
Therefore, in the near future, it is necessary to focus on doing research,
making preliminary surveys, and making legal documents and procedures to ask
for the Government, centrally-run ministries and departments’ policies.
Speaking at the function, Secretary of the
provincial Party Committee Bui Van Tinh hailed the investor’s idea about the
EcoSmartCity project. He assigned the provincial Department of Planning and
Training to chair working sessions with the investor to prepare all necessary
conditions to carry out the project. While providing more information about
planning, infrastructure, and large-scale projects underway in the province,
the official asked the investor to expand the planning of Yen Thuy district and
build the EcoSmartCity in association with the local planning schemes without
affecting local administrative units./.
Over recent years, the Farmers' Union of Mai Chau district has implemented numerous specific programmes and activities to support its members in developing products under the One Commune One (OCOP) programme. These efforts have contributed to enhancing local agricultural branding, increasing goods value, and improving incomes and living standards for residents.
Since 2022, the Hoa Binh Department of Education and Training has provided advice for the provincial People's Committee to issue Plan No. 219/KH-UBND on November 17, 2022, which outlines the implementation of a project titled "Enhancing the application of Information Technology (IT) and Digital Transformation in Education and Training for the 2022–2025 period, with a vision to 2030.” As of now, the local education sector has made significant progress in IT adoption and digital transformation.
Hoa Binh allocated over 30 trillion VND (nearly 1.18 billion USD) to develop infrastructure systems in ethnic minority and mountainous areas during 2019 - 2024. Priority was given to transport and irrigation infrastructure; markets; schools; medical stations; communal houses; and power grid, telecommunication, radio, and television systems.
The Hoa Binh provincial organising committee for anniversary activities on December 17 held a ceremony to unveil a ceramic mural on the local military-civilian ties and release a book on the Party and political work of the provincial armed forces during 1947 – 2024, in commemoration of the 80th anniversary of the Vietnam People’s Army (VPA) and 35th anniversary of the All-People Defence Festival.
In recent years, Hoa Binh has allocated significant resources to foster cooperative economy, helping ethnic minorities capitalise on their potential and advantages to escape poverty.
As a mountainous district still facing numerous challenges, Da Bac has made notable progress in advancing administrative reforms across various areas. The district has prioritised reorganising and streamlining its administrative apparatus, operating "one-stop-shop” units, and applying information technology (IT) in the handling of administrative procedures. Efforts have also been directed toward upgrading infrastructure and equipment to enhance service quality for residents and businesses.
