(HBO) - joining the whole nation, people of all ethnic groups in northern Hoa Binh province are celebrating 75 years since the August Revolution and the 75th National Day (September 2).
Tran Hung Dao Road in Hoa Binh city is decorated to mark the
National Day.
Seventy-five years ago, in response to the Party
and President Ho Chi Minh’s appeal, local residents joined people nationwide to
drive off foreign rulers to seize and return power to the people. With only
rudimentary weapons, mostly canes and spears, people in Hoa Binh rose up to
help liberate the country from colonialism and feudalism and turn the
Vietnamese people from slaves to masters of the country.
Since that 1945 autumn, many local communities
have chosen the National Day as their Independence Festival. The desire for
freedom helped the Vietnamese army and people to weather hardships to win the
two protracted resistance wars and gain successes in national development and
defence. The traditional patriotism and revolutionary steadfastness have been
giving more strength to Hoa Binh to overcome difficulties and obtain important
achievements.
From a very low starting point, the province has
been engaging in nationwide reform efforts. Used to be small town, Hoa Binh
city is currently home to civilised and modern residential areas with
continually improved living standards. Meanwhile, remote villages in Da Bac,
Mai Chau and Tan Lac districts are now accessible thanks to roads built and
internet connection. The power grid has also been expanded to all rural
hamlets.
Hoa Binh is no longer a poor mountainous
province but confidently working towards prosperity. It now has famous farm
produce like oranges and pomelos of Cao Phong, Tan Lac and Lac Thuy, fish in Da
River, and many other specialities. A number of villages around Hoa Binh
Reservoir have been equipped with roads, electricity and welfare facilities.
The development of fishery, community-based tourism and local specialities has
helped raise local per capita income strongly to 63.8 million VND (over 2,700
USD), higher than the average of the northern midland and mountainous region
and equivalent to 92 percent of the national average.
Local infrastructure has been developed while
many projects and facilities have been put into use, giving Hoa Binh a
competitive edge in attracting investment and tapping into tourism, service and
industrial potential. Over the last few years, the province has attracted
billions of USD worth of investment into tourism, eco-urban area and industrial
projects. It has also topped northwestern provinces in new-style countryside
building.
This year’s Independence Festival is more
meaningful than ever as it marks a new stage of reforms to achieve higher
targets, including turning Hoa Binh into a province of integration and
development towards prosperity and happiness./.
In the spirit of "Party members go first, the people follow”, all households of Party members in the Doan Ket sub-region in Da Bac town, Da Bac district, voluntarily removed gates and fences, and donated land when the road expansion project passed through their properties. Inspired by their example, 68 households in the sub-region quickly followed suit, contributing over 1,400 sq.m of residential and perennial cropland to widen the main road through the residential area. The exemplary role of Party members in Doan Ket stands as a shining example of studying and following President Ho Chi Minh’s thought, morality, and lifestyle.
The Hoa Binh provincial People's Committee held a monthly meeting on May 29 to assess the implementation of socio-economic development tasks in the first six months of 2025, the progress of key projects, and some other important issues.
During his lifetime, President Ho Chi Minh always expressed his deep affection and special concern for children and youth. He once emphasized: "Caring for and educating children well is the responsibility of the entire Party and the entire people”; "First of all, the family (i.e. grandparents, parents, siblings) must do this job well”. "the Party Committees…, the Children’s Committee, the Youth Union, the education sector, and all related organizations must have specific plans to ensure children grow healthier and more progressive”. His teachings has been remaining valuable and serving as the guiding principles in the work of protecting, caring for, and educating children. In line with this ideology, Hoa Binh Province has continuously been prioritizing and investing resources in the well-being of children in recent years.
Mr. Nguyen Phi Long, the alternate Member of the Party Central Committee and Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee chaired the meeting of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee to provide opinions on several investment projects within the province. There was the attendance of Ms. Bui Thi Minh, the Permanent Deputy Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee and Chairwoman of the Provincial People’s Council; Mr. Bui Đuc Hinh, the Deputy Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee and Chairman of the Provincial People’s Committee and other members of the Standing Committee; the leaders from other departments, agencies, and some localities.
The Standing Board of the Vietnam Fatherland Front (VFF) Committee of Hoa Binh province held a meeting on May 28 to honour outstanding village elders, village heads, and reputable individuals from local ethnic minority and religious communities.
In mid-May, the provincial Museum organised an exhibition named "Duoi la co Dang Cong san Viet Nam quang vinh” (Under the flag of the glorious Communist Party of Vietnam). This meaningful activity took place in the joyful atmosphere to celebrate the country's major holidays and the Party congresses at all levels for the 2025-2030 term, towards the 14th National Party Congress.
