Hau A Lenh, member of the Party Central Committee, Minister-Chairman of the Government Committee for Ethnic Minority Affairs, presents flowers to congratulate the provincial Committee for Ethnic Minority Affairs.
In 2003, more than 10 years after the province had been re-established, the provincial People's Committee submitted a proposal on the establishment of the provincial Committee for Ethnic Minority and Religion Affairs (now known as Committee for Ethnic Minority Affairs) and got the approval from the Prime Minister in Decision No.164/2003/QD-TTg dated August 8, 2003. Under the leadership and direction of the Government Committee for Ethnic Minority Affairs, the Party Committee, the People's Council, the People's Committee, and the Fatherland Front Committee of the province, the provincial
Committee for Ethnic Minority Affairs always accompanies local ethnic minority groups and effectively implements ethnic-related policies of the Party and the State, thus making important contributions to socio-economic development, consolidating the great unity bloc of the province's ethnic groups.
Thanks to the efficiency of investment and assistance from programmes, projects and policies for ethnic-inhabited and mountainous areas, by the end of 2022, Hoa Binh province had eight communes getting out of the extremely difficult status and being recognised as new-style rural areas. The rate of poor households in ethnic and mountainous communes decreased to 13.11%. People's lives are improved, and the traditional culture of ethnic minorities preserved and promoted. Speaking at the ceremony, Khanh praised achievements of generations of those involved in the ethnic work in the past 20 years. He asked the committee to closely coordinate with departments, agencies, People's Committees of districts and Hoa Binh city to actively advise the provincial Party Committee, People's Council and People's Committee to build specific action programmes; and direct and organise the effective implementation of the master plan for socio-economic development in ethnic-inhabited and mountainous areas and the national target programme for socio-economic development in these areas for the 2021 – 2030 period.
Attention must be paid to mobilising resources, carrying out a reasonable solution of capital to invest in building and upgrading essential infrastructure to serve production and daily life; improving the social welfare system as well as the material and spiritual life of those in ethnic-inhabited and underprivileged areas; and supporting the development of education and training, and the improvement of
the quality of human resources who are ethnic minorities, he added.
The subcommittee for documents of the 18th Hoa Binh provincial Party Congress, the 2025 - 2030 term, convened on March 3 to review and incorporate public feedback on the congress’s draft documents. The meeting was chaired by Nguyen Phi Long, an alternate member of the Party Central Committee and Secretary of the Hoa Binh provincial Party Committee. It was attended by senior provincial officials, including Bui Thi Minh, Permanent Deputy Secretary of the provincial Party Committee and Chairwoman of the provincial People’s Council; Bui Duc Hinh, Deputy Secretary of the provincial Party Committee and Chairman of the provincial People’s Committee; other members of the Standing Board of the provincial Party Committee; and members of the document subcommittee.
Muong Bi - Tan Lac, one of the four major Muong ethnic minority-inhabited regions in Hoa Binh, is known for not only its distinctive cultural identity but also its proud history of heroism, with great contributions to the victory against US invaders in the past. Today, Tan Lac district continues to uphold this legacy while embracing development and renewal.
March 3 marked the first official working day for specialised agencies under the provincial People's Committee following the merger or transfer of functions and tasks from the previous agencies. On this day, the newly merged departments and agencies took proactive steps to arrange personnel, organise workflows, and implement tasks efficiently, ensuring that administrative procedures were carried out smoothly without interruption.
Kim Boi district of Hoa Binh province has thoroughly implemented and adhered to Resolution No. 18-NQ/TW on restructuring the organisational apparatus of the political system towards a streamlined, efficient, and effective direction, ensuring no disruption of work.
By mid-February, Da Bac district completed a plan to streamline its organisational apparatus and personnel work, marking a milestone in efforts to promote restructuring towards a leaner, more efficient organisational system, closely following directives from the Party Central Committee’s Resolution No. 18-NQ/TW, and Conclusion No. 121-KL/TW, and Resolution No. 27-NQ/TU of the provincial Party Committee and Conclusion No. 1103-KL/TU by the provincial Party Organisation’s standing board.
Imbued with President Ho Chi Minh's teaching "The Party cell are the Party’s grassroots foundations. A strong Party cell ensures the effective implementation of the Party’s policies and continuous progress in all tasks," the Party Committee of Kim Boi commune, Kim Boi District, has rolled out the "four-good Party cell" model. The initiative has created a positive change, enhancing the leadership capacity and fighting spirit of Party organisations and their members.
