At
the meeting, Atsushi Sakate, Executive Vice President of Meiko Group, provided
an update on the group’s printed circuit board (PCB) manufacturing facility, a
major development at the Da River Left Bank Industrial Park (IP).
Sakate
said since breaking ground in April 2024, Meiko has accelerated construction,
addressed environmental requirements, and set up wastewater treatment and
employment processes, all in an effort to stay on track with the projected
timeline.
However,
he pointed out several challenges that are slowing progress and requested
provincial support to keep the project on schedule. They included expediting
the Hoa Binh city master plan and detailed zoning for the IP, raising the
allowed building height to five stories, and increasing the land allocated for
wastewater treatment to boost capacity to 10,000 cubic meters per day.
Sakate
also urged provincial authorities to ensure the wastewater treatment facility
is operational by December 2024 to align with Meiko’s production schedule.
Additionally,
he requested an expedited handover of the facility to the designated management
unit and quicker processing of environmental assessments and permits for the
expanded capacity.
In response, Secretary Long directed the provincial working group, led by the
head of the provincial IP Management Board, to collaborate with relevant
departments and Hoa Binh city authorities to address Meiko’s concerns swiftly.
He
emphasised the importance of ensuring an efficient and regulation-compliant
investment process to support the project’s success.
The
Secretary also instructed the Hoa Binh People’s Committee to work with Meiko
Hoa Binh Electronics Co., Ltd., and infrastructure investor Da Hop to advance
planning for the city area and the IP.
Under the guidance of the Party Committee, the provincial People’s Committee
will collaborate with key departments to facilitate the handover of the
wastewater treatment facility to Da Hop, further supporting infrastructure
development and project sustainability in Hoa Binh.
Once a mountainous province facing many challenges, Hoa Binh has, after more than a decade of implementing the national target programme on new-style rural area development, emerged as a bright spot in Vietnam’s northern midland and mountainous region. In the first quarter of 2025, the province recorded positive results, paving the way for Hoa Binh to enter a phase of accelerated growth with a proactive and confident mindset.
Hoa Binh province is steadily advancing its agricultural sector through the adoption of high-tech solutions, seen as a sustainable path for long-term development.

A delegation of Hoa Binh province has attended the "Meet Korea 2025" event, recently held by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Embassy of the Republic of Korea (RoK) in Vietnam, the Korea Trade-Investment Promotion Agency, and the People's Committee of Hung Yen province.
Hoa Binh province joined Vietnam’s national "One Commune, One Product” (OCOP) programme in 2019, not simply as a mountainous region following central policy, but with a clear vision to revive the cultural and agricultural values in its villages and crops.
From just 16 certified products in its inaugural year to 158 by early 2025, the One Commune One Product (OCOP) programme in Hoa Binh province has followed a steady and strategic path. But beyond the numbers, it has reawakened local heritage, turning oranges, bamboo shoots, brocade, and herbal remedies into branded, market-ready goods - and, more profoundly, transformed how local communities value and present their own cultural identity.
