province and the China Pacific Construction Group.
At the session, Long welcomed the Chinese group, and
thanked the group’s chairman for choosing Hoa Binh as a destination to survey
and seek cooperation opportunities.
He briefed the guests about the geographical
position, potential, and strengths of the province, emphasising that Hoa Binh
is focusing on developing four pillars - industry, agriculture, tourism
services, and urban development, along with five strategic breakthrough areas -
culture; administrative procedure reform and investment procedures;
infrastructure; digital transformation; and human resources.
In particular, Hoa Binh province is concentrating on
improving transport infrastructure, developing tourism, and infrastructure for
industrial zones and urban areas, aiming for a double-digit growth rate in
2025.
Long hoped that the Chinese group will study and
promote cooperation between the two sides. With his reputation, Yan is expected
to serve as a bridge for Chinese businesses to invest in Hoa Binh province.
For his part, Yan highly appreciated the province's
transport infrastructure and investment attraction policies. Yan affirmed that,
with his position and capacity, he is ready to work as a bridge to introduce
large Chinese enterprises to invest in Hoa Binh, especially in research and
development and transport infrastructure sectors.
He also expressed his desire to cooperate with Hoa
Binh province to implement several projects, ensuring quality, progress, and
efficiency.
The steering committee for key projects of Hoa Binh province convened on May 14 to assess the progress of major ongoing developments
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.
"Behind every One Commune One Product (OCOP)-starred product lies a quietly operating support system: technical staff, experts, trade fairs, and e-commerce platforms. OCOP cannot go far without forward-looking policy support," affirmed Nguyen Huy Nhuan, Director of the Department of Agriculture and Environment of Hoa Binh province.
The economic landscape of Hoa Binh province continued its impressive upward trajectory through the first four months of 2025, according to a recent report from the provincial Department of Finance. The local authority has directed departments and sectors to keep close tabs on growth scenarios for each quarters and remove bottlenecks, striving to complete the set growth targets.
