The Hoa Lac - Hoa Binh Road project, carried out
in the public - private partnership (PPP) format, has total investment of over
9.38 trillion VND (390.8 million USD) and length of 23.04km, comprising 6.37km
in Hanoi and 16.67km in Hoa Binh province.
Of the two construction plans, the province
selected the first – building a six-lane road with a designed speed of 100km
per hour on the basis of the existing two-lane road, with the forecast traffic
volume until 2045 taken into account.
At the event, leaders of the provincial People’s
Committee and the consulting unit presented the scale and design of the
project, provided details about funding sources and the implementation plan,
and reported on the construction site’s status before the project kick off.
Secretary of the provincial Party Committee
Nguyen Phi Long said Hoa Lac - Hoa Binh Road is a critically important project
that will have great influence on socio-economic development in the province
and the northwestern region at large, and create an economic corridor for the
region. The provincial Party Committee’s Standing Board agreed to carry out
this project in the PPP format.
He demanded resources be mobilised to
accelerate, complete, and put the project into use early.
Meanwhile, the Hoa Binh - Moc Chau Expressway
project, of which the Km19+00 - Km53+00 section traverses Hoa Binh, is invested
with more than 9.8 trillion VND in total, of which over 8.2 trillion VND is
sourced from the central budget and 1.5 trillion VND from the provincial
budget. Preparations for construction are being made.
Regarding this project, Long asked the Party’s
civil affairs board of the provincial People’s Committee to direct the quick
settlement of difficulties in order to start the project in late 2023.
At the meeting, participants also looked into a
report on the allocation plan for the central budget’s funding for the
province’s socio-economic recovery and development programme, the allocation of
and supplementation to the medium-term public investment plan financed by the
central budget for the 2021 - 2025 period, and a draft directive of the
provincial Party Committee’s Standing Board for implementing the Politburo’s
Conclusion No 48-KL/TW on the continued re-organisation of district- and
communal-level administrative units during 2023 - 2030.
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.
