officials at the meeting.
Last year, under the leadership of the Party organisation, Luong Son maintained
its role and position as an economic engine of Hoa Binh province, according to
a report delivered at the meeting.
The locality fulfilled up to 14 out of the 15 targets assigned by the Party
organisation, with State budget collection reaching 930 billion VND (38.15
million USD), surpassing the estimate by 158.33%, and up 59.6% year-on-year. As of the end of 2023, its urbanisation rate was estimated at 52.2%, up 3.3%
year-on-year.
However, limitations still remain in the fields of inspection, land, natural
resources and environmental management, and site clearance for some products,
the report said.
In his
remarks, Long asked the Party organisation to step up instructions in order to
satisfy criteria set for a 4th-tier urban area in 2024, striving to achieve the
township status in 2025. In the economic sphere, he urged Luong Son to focus on land clearance for major
key projects of the province and the district, create optimal conditions for
investors to soon begin a number of major projects, and intensify inspections
over the management and use of natural resources. Besides, the district needs to further preserve and uphold cultural traits of
ethnic groups, and promote its
image, he said.
On this occasion, the Party organisation honoured collectives and individuals
for their outstanding performance in fulfilling political tasks in 2023.
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.
