steering committee, delivers the concluding remarks.
According to a report by the provincial chapter of the
Vietnam Fatherland Front, Hoa Binh has recorded 3,194 cases of makeshift or
degraded housing. Of these, 2,417 homes are set for rebuild and 777 for repair.
As of May 14, 2,149 new houses had been completed and handed over, with work
underway on a further 184. Meanwhile, 613 homes had been repaired, with another
61 under renovation. A total of 103 households had opted out of repairs due to
various personal circumstances.
Three localities – Luong Son, Lac Thuy districts and Hoa
Binh city – have completed the programme. The remaining seven districts have
committed to completion on schedule by the end of this May. All cities and
districts have secured sufficient funding for the effort.
Support has been provided in accordance with set principles:
each eligible household may receive up to 60 million VND (2,311 USD) for new
construction or 30 million VND for repairs, funded through the provincial "For
the Poor” Fund. Additional assistance in the form of labour and locally
available building materials is contributed by local authorities, residents,
and socio-political organisations.
The assistance process has been conducted transparently and
in a manner that respects the customs, practices, and living conditions of
beneficiary families, while also aligning with the cultural identities of local
ethnic communities.
In his closing remarks, the provincial Party leader stressed
that the housing programme had successfully mobilised resources from the
community and broader society, helping to improve living standards for poor,
near-poor, and policy-beneficiary households, as well as ethnic minorities and
other vulnerable groups.
He also called for its acceleration and urged localities to
implement further housing support under two national target programmes
targeting revolutionary contributors and families of fallen soldiers.
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).

A delegation from Hoa Binh province led by Colonel Trinh Duc Thiem, Commander of the provincial Military Command, completed a mission to visit and encourage officers and soldiers stationed on Truong Sa and a DK1 platform from May 20 to 26 as part of activities of the Vietnam People’s Navy. The delegation included 12 senior officials from various provincial agencies and units.

Throughout his revolutionary life, Uncle Ho visited Hoa Binh province four times. He also sent dozens of letters, telegrams, greeting cards, and heartfelt messages to local officials, Party members, and people of all ethnic groups, urging them to remain united, support one another, strive for progress, and actively engage in both production and resistance efforts to build a prosperous homeland.
