(HBO) – On June 11, 1948, President Ho Chi Minh called on the entire nation to join a patriotic emulation movement to overcome hunger and illiteracy, and fight against foreign invaders.

Workers of GGS garment company at Da River
Left-Bank Industrial Park in Hoa Binh city join an emulation campaign in
production to achieve the dual goal of COVID-19 pandemic prevention and
control, and economic development.
Hoa Binh has for years considered patriotic
emulation movements a driving force behind the province's socio-economic
development and the successful implementation of targets and resolutions by
Party congresses at all levels.
The provincial People’s Committee has worked to
make such movements suitable to the local conditions, attracting the great
participation of people from all walks of life.
As a result, the province's socio-economic
development and people's living standards have been improved, with its annual
average poverty rate decreasing by 2-3 percent. The quality of health and
education has increased, while cultural preservation and security-defence have
been ensured.
Particularly in the 2021-2022 period, the
province has been seriously affected by the COVID-19 pandemic.
According to Dang Mai Son, Director of the
provincial Department of Home Affairs, Hoa Binh has launched and directed the
implementation of a series of emulation campaigns, therefore realising the dual
goal of pandemic prevention and control, and economic development.
In 2021, the province’s Gross Regional Domestic
Product (GRDP) increased by 3.07 percent, while its per capita income reached
61.5 million VND (2,646 USD). Hoa Binh also added nine communes to its list of
new-style rural areas, bringing the total number to 65. It has so far raised
dozens of billions of VND for a fund for COVID-19 prevention and control, and
donated more than 300 tonnes of agricultural products, rice and food to support
southern provinces in the fight against the pandemic.
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.
