(HBO) – Hoa Binh province has a special geographical location as it is the northwestern gateway to Hanoi and linked with the capital city via Hoa Lac – Hoa Binh Road and National Highway 6. In the future, it will connect with northwestern provinces via a system of modern expressways. The synchronous investment in transport infrastructure and provincial leaders’ wisdom and dynamism will create a solid foundation for Hoa Binh to make breakthroughs in socio-economic development and investment attraction in the time to come.
Hoa Binh 3 Bridge, inaugurated at the year’s beginning, has helped
perfect the transport infrastructure network of Hoa Binh city.
On the stretch of the Da River in Hoa Binh city,
the contractor is racing against time to build Hoa Binh 2 Bridge, which is
expected to have its final sections joined by the end of 2020. Once put into
use, this bridge will, together with other bridges spanning the Da River, help
perfect local transport infrastructure, ease traffic congestion in the downtown
of Hoa Binh city, and become a landmark of the urban landscape here.
Based on the local transport planning for 2020,
with a vision to 2030, a number of facilities important to the province’s security-defence
and socio-economic development have been included in the medium-term public
investment plan for 2016 – 2020 and now under construction, such as the road
linking Ho Chi Minh Road with National Highways 12B and 1, upgrades to
Provincial Road 435, Hoa Binh 2 Bridge, the road linking National Highway 6
with Chi Lang Road, and Trang Bridge.
Thanks to the effective attraction and use of
domestic and foreign investment in transport infrastructure, between 2017 and
2019, Hoa Lac – Hoa Binh Road, built under the BOT format, and Hoa Binh 3
Bridge, funded with official development assistance (ODA) capital, were
completed, helping with the synchronous development of transport infrastructure
and the province’s connectivity with nearby localities.
In the time ahead, Hoa Binh – Moc Chau
Expressway will be built, marking a new stride in transport infrastructure
development and being an important facility serving local socio-economic
development.
Aside from arterial transport facilities, Hoa
Binh province has also paid attention to the rural transport network in recent
years. It has effectively carried out emulation movements to encourage the
local populace to engage in building rural roads and associated the development
of rural transport infrastructure with the implementation of the national
target programmes on new-style rural area building and sustainable poverty
reduction./.
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.
