On February 13, localities across Hoa Binh province organised ceremonies to see new recruits off for military services.
Hoa Binh youths depart for military service.
In Kim Boi district, at 7am, 274 local youths gathered at the district’s stadium. Along both sides of the road to the stadium, thousands of people stood under the national flag, waving their hands, and encouraging the young soldiers to fulfil their mission to safeguard the country.
Among the new recruits are the twin brothers Bui Thanh Chien and Bui The Thang from Du Sang commune, along with Bui Quyen Anh and Bui Duc Vuong from Hung Son commune. They volunteered to enlist together. Coming fom poor families, they worked for companies to support their parents after graduating from high school. Despite having stable jobs and good incomes, they eagerly chose to quit their jobs and join the army upon receiving their conscription notices. When military officials informed them that, under the Military Service Law, one brother from each pair could defer service, they encouraged one another and submitted voluntary enlistment applications together.
This spirit of readiness to serve the nation has inspired many young people in the province to set aside personal affairs, fulfilling their civic duty and responsibility in nation-building and safeguarding. For example, Mua A Viet from Pa Co Lon village, Hang A Trong from Pa Khom village, and Trang A Tua from Xa Linh village, Pa Co commune (Mai Chau)—all newly married—chose to leave their young families behind after passing the conscription examination.
According to the quota for 2025, Hoa Binh is expected to enlist a total of 1,958 citizens. Of these, 1,600 will serve in the military, while 358 will serve in the public security force. Colonel Trinh Duc Thiem, Commander of the provincial Military Command, Vice Chairman of the provincial Military Service Council, said that this achievement is the result of effective registration and management of citizens in the eligible age group. The recruitment process involved strict physical exams, ensuring compliance with all regulations.
The efforts to raise awareness and educate citizens about their responsibilities under the Military Service Law have also played a key role. Thanks to this, the recruitment process for 2025 has met the set target with high-quality recruits, he added.
Following the results of the military enlistment examination for 2025, Lac Son district has seen 100 young men and women volunteering to enlist in the military. Among these recruits, there are several families where two siblings have both written voluntary enlistment letters, eager to undertake the sacred task of protecting the nation.
As the Party Organisation and people of Hoa Binh province welcome the arrival of spring, they take pride in the remarkable achievements obtained under the leadership of the Communist Party of Vietnam (CPV), which turns 95 this spring. With a shared determination to build a prosperous future, they embrace ambitious aspirations for national development, joining hands with the whole country to prepare to enter a new era-one of national progress and advancement.
In 2023, the relic site where President Ho Chi Minh visited the Chi Hoa Production Group in Lam Son commune, Luong Son district of Hoa Binh province, was officially recognised as a provincial-level revolutionary historical site. Each year, it draws numerous visitors from across Vietnam and abroad, becoming a "red address" for educating young generations on the nation's revolutionary traditions.
According to the Party Charter, Party members who have been active in the revolution for a long time, and have maintained their Party membership for 30 years and more, will be awarded the Party badge. This is a noble reward, not only a source of pride and excitement for the Party members themselves and their families, but also a source of pride for the Party organisation that has such outstanding members who are shining examples for everyone to learn from and follow.
On the occasion of the 95th founding anniversary of the Communist Party of Vietnam (February 3, 1930–2025), the Hoa Binh provincial Party Committee’s Standing Board offered flowers and incense in commemoration of President Ho Chi Minh at the relic site of the late leader’s visit to the Chi Hoa production group in Luong Son district on February 3. The delegation included Nguyen Phi Long, alternate member of the Party Central Committee and Secretary of the provincial Party Committee; Bui Duc Hinh, Standing Deputy Secretary of the provincial Party Committee and Chairman of the provincial People’s Committee; other members of the provincial Party Committee’s Standing Board, and leaders of the Party Committee of Luong Son district.
Ahead of the Year of the Snake, a delegation of reporters from central and local press agencies, together with representatives of Brigade 146 from Naval Region 4, boarded Vessel HQ-561 to pay a Lunar New Year (Tet) visit to Truong Sa archipelago.
