VNPT Hoa Binh continues to affirm its key role as a strong enterprise in the field of telecommunications and information technology, and as the leading unit in implementing the digital transformation programme. Last year, its revenue reached 334 billion VND (13.6 million USD), equal to 100.84% of the group's plan, and up 6.01% compared to that in 2022. It contributed 11.9 billion VND to the provincial state budget, ranking 10th out of 63 provinces and cities; and ensured stable jobs and income for 366 labourers.
In recent years, VNPT Hoa Binh has focused on expanding and renovating its network, improving customer care, optimising coverage areas, eliminating signal depressions, increasing service quality and meeting information and communication works in all situations, thus serving the direction and management of Party committees and authorities at all levels, as well as the needs of using telecoms and IT services of local people.
Acknowledging VNPT Hoa Binh’s achievements, Long emphasised its role in implementing the province's strategic breakthroughs such as infrastructure investment, administrative reform, and human resources development.
He asked the Party organisation and leaders of VNPT Hoa Binh to focus on the Party building work, well implement regulations of the Party Central Committee and the provincial Party Committee on Party development in State-owned enterprises, and pay attention to increasing the number and quality of Party members.
It is necessary to invest in infrastructure development; coordinate with the group to improve the quality of infrastructure to meet the requirements of local political tasks; complete and enhance essential services for local people to ensure all of them gain access to services; and develop digital applications, he stressed.
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.
