Nguyen Thi Dung, the head of the Hoa Binh city Party Committee's Information and Education Commission, noted significant transformations in the city’s mindset, practices, and appearance in recent years. Substantial investments have led to pronounced changes in urban infrastructure, commerce, and services.

Efforts to conserve and promote tangible and intangible cultural values have been prioritised, with several traditional festivals, folk songs, folk games, and traditional sports revitalised. Within the city, 198 out of the 214 hamlets and residential units have cultural centres, among which 195 have sports facilities. There are 182 active sports clubs established under the People's Committees of wards and communes.

The number of hamlets and residential units accredited as cultural areas have increased annually, with 208 out of 214 achieving the status in 2023.

As of March 2024, all the seven local communes had met the criteria for new-style rural development, with Yen Mong, Hop Thanh, and Mong Hoa recognised as advanced new-style rural areas. In December 2023, the rates of poverty households stood at 1.06% and of near-poor households at 1.35%.

Looking ahead, authorities will continue upholding the traditions of solidarity and collective effort, elevate awareness and responsibility, and effectively guide and implement the building and development of culture and people in the new period.
