In his opening remarks, President of the
Vietnam General Confederation of Labour (VGCL), Bui Van Cuong, stated that with
a sense of responsibility, dynamism and creativity, all-level trade unions have
overcome difficulties, overhauled operational contents and methods, and
designed many practical guidelines and measures to organise the implementation
and basically fulfill the goals and tasks set at the 11thCongress.
The trade union activities have focused
on giving practical benefits to union members and labourers, he said, adding
that trade union organisations are constantly growing and promoting their role
as trustworthy representatives of the labour force, a strong supporter of the
Party, and a bridge connecting the Party and State with labourers.
Cuong stressed that the position of
trade unions in society has been improved, as trade union activities and the workers’
movement have made significant contributions to the country’s socio-economic
development, strengthening national defense and security, and building a strong
and pure political system, thus increasing the position of Vietnam in the
international arena.

Nguyen Phi Long, alternate member of the Party Central Committee and Secretary of the Hoa Binh provincial Party Committee, and other officials on April 8 examined some key transport projects, namely the road connecting Tran Hung Dao Road and Dan Chu ward with National Highway 6, the regional connectivity road linking Hoa Binh and Hanoi with Son La Expressway (Hoa Binh - Moc Chau), and the first phase of a road from Luong Son township of Hoa Binh to Xuan Mai township of Hanoi.
Hoa Binh province recorded nearly 20 cases of religion-related wrongdoings in 2023 and the first two months of 2024. However, thanks to their active and effective engagement, relevant agencies and religious organisations have helped the provincial and district-level People’s Committees deal with those cases in a timely manner and in line with legal regulations, thus ensuring religious freedom.
The Hoa Binh provincial People’s Committee held its monthly conference in virtual form on April 2 to review draft documents to be submitted to the standing board of the provincial Party Committee and others under its management along with some other important issues. Vice Secretary of the provincial Party Committee and Chairman of the provincial People’s Committee Bui Van Khanh chaired the event, which was connected with the people's committees of districts and cities in Hoa Binh.
Smokeless 'Hoang Cam' kitchen was a small yet extremely significant initiative of a soldier chef named Hoang Cam in the Hoa Binh campaign in 1951 – 1952. This legendary stove, later named after him, accompanied the nation in the 1954 Dien Bien Phu Campaign, and during the resistance war against the US.
The 15th meeting of Hoa Binh province’s 17th-tenure Party organisation was held on March 26. Secretary of the provincial Party Committee Nguyen Phi Long, Permanent Deputy Secretary of the Party Committee and Chairman of the provincial People's Council Bui Duc Hinh, and Deputy Secretary of the Party Committee and Chairman of the provincial People’s Committee Bui Van Khanh co-chaired the event.
