(HBO) -The double targets of socio-economic development, COVID-19 prevention are the leading task for Hoa Binh provincial departments, agencies and localities in order to maintain stable economic growth and ensure local people's lives amid the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Amid
the adverse impacts of COVID-19, workers at GGS Vietnam Co. Ltd at the industrial
zone on the left bank of Da river, Hoa Binh city, still have stable
jobs.
Over the past time, exports-imports have been hardest hit by the pandemic.
According to the provincial Department of Industry and Trade, 24 trading
companies, accounting for 53 percent of the total companies in Hoa Binh,
engaged in trade ties with China. Therefore, local production took a hit due to
the shortage of materials and delay in goods delivery.
Statistics showed that export value dropped by 1.41 percent year-on-year in the
first quarter, meeting 15.73 percent of the yearly plan. The March value
decreased by 4.8 percent month-on-month. The export of goods fell by 1.77
percent annually, meeting 15.42 percent of the yearly plan. Meanwhile, import
value plunged by 42.6 percent in March from the previous month. The three-month
import value reached 118.4 million USD, down 10.43 percent, realising 13.53
percent of the annual target. With such results, exports-imports face
remarkable challenges to fulfill 2020 targets.
Aware of the challenges, the Department of Industry and Trade suggested 11
measures to tackle difficulties in production and trade, ensuring social lives
and economic development while intensifying the fight against COVID-19. The
sector strives to accomplish targets regarding industrial production, trade and
exports-imports this year, towards earning over 1 billion USD from exports and
spending 875 million USD on imports, ensuring that export-import value increase
at an average 28.55 percent annually and total foreign trade value for
2016-2020 expanded by 3.5-fold from 2015, thus fulfilling the targets set by
the Resolution of the 16th provincial Party Congress for the 2015-2020 tenure.
Other
sectors are also seeking appropriate measures in line with the Prime Minister’s
directions about the fulfillment of the "double goals”, including drastically
fighting COVID-19 while tackling difficulties, promoting production and trade,
ensuring social welfare and local lives, exerting the utmost efforts to achieve
set social-economic development goals.
Statistics
by the provincial People’s Committee showed that the province’s gross regional
domestic product grew by 6.62 percent in the first quarter, with
agro-forestry-fisheries up 2.65 percent, industry – construction up 9.99
percent, services up 4.78 percent, taxation up 3.34 percent. Regarding economic
structure, industry-construction accounted for the biggest share with 47.09
percent. Tourism was the hardest-hit by the epidemic.
The provincial departments, agencies and localities are taking measures to
achieve the "double goals”. In the second quarter, the provincial People’s
Committee plans 18 groups of key measures./.
Seven years after the 12th Party Central Committee’s Resolution, Tan Lac district has seen considerable progresses.
The Standing Board of the Hoa Binh provincial Party Committee has held a conference to announce decisions regarding the apparatus restructuring of the province’s political system and personnel affairs.
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.
