The Government leader applauded the solidarity and determination
of the provincial Party committee, authorities and people in achieving their
level of sustainable development, maintaining security and order, and ensuring
social safety.
Accordingly, Lang Son has achieved an
annual economic growth rate of 8% and its GDRP per capita in 2017 reached
VND35.6 million.
He stressed the important position of
the province regarding the political, economic, defence and security spheres in
the country’s northeast region, as the locality shares around 230 kilometres of
border with China and serves
as a major gateway to China
and ASEAN.
Therefore, Lang Son province should set
its vision on boosting trade, tourism, agriculture and forestry while pushing
border economic development and fostering neighbourly relationship with China.
He also mapped out other major tasks for
the province, including preserving local cultural identity, maintaining
security and defence, developing high-tech agriculture and rural areas,
reducing poverty, and improving healthcare and education in remote areas.

Dao Village’s honey – a product certified with a 3-star OCOP (One Commune One Product) rating by Thong Nhat Agricultural Cooperative in Dao Village (Hoa Binh City) – is highly regarded by consumers for its quality, richness, and variety in packaging. The distinctively sweet taste of Dao Village’s honey leaves a lasting impression on anyone who has tried it.
In alignment with Project No. 07-DA/TU, issued by the Hoa Binh provincial Party Committee on November 1, 2021, Lac Thuy district has actively promoted investment and supported the sustainable development of its industrial and handicraft sectors during the 2021–2025 period. Alongside this, the district has remained committed to preserving and revitalising traditional craft villages.
Located in the northern part of Lac Thuy district, with a temperate climate and fertile soil, Phu Thanh commune has great potential and advantages in growing tea. The long-standing experience, combined with strict adherence to organic farming practices in the tea gardens, ensures that the dried tea products from Phu Thanh and Lac Thuy as a whole are sold out immediately upon production, providing a stable and prosperous life for the local people.
Amid efforts to streamline the administrative apparatus, Hoa Binh province has intensified measures to address challenges in land clearance, resettlement support, and infrastructure investment, aiming to speed up the progress of key projects.
Hoa Binh province has posted an unprecedented economic growth rate of 12.76% in the first quarter of 2025, marking its highest quarterly performance to date and positioning it as the second fastest-growing locality in the country, trailing only Bac Giang province.
Under current regulations, products in the One Commune – One Product (OCOP) programme that are rated three stars or higher must undergo re-evaluation every three months. However, in reality, some of these products fail to consistently meet the required standards, raising concerns about the sustainability of their OCOP certification. This underscores the urgent need for producers to enhance product quality and gradually develop their OCOP products into strong, marketable brands.
