President Phankham Viphavanh, who is also a Politburo member and standing
member of the Lao People’s Revolutionary Party Central Committee’s Secretariat,
visits the historical site where the preparatory meeting for the second
Congress of the Lao People’s Party (now the Lao People’s Revolutionary Party)
took place.
During the reception, Bui Van Tinh briefed Lao
guests on the local recent socio-economic development, and national
defence-security situation and potential. He highlighted the special friendship
and solidarity between Vietnam and Laos in general, and between Laos and Hoa
Binh in particular.
During the anti-French resistance war, the Tay
Tien (Marching West) Regiment departed from Hoa Binh to support Laos. During
the anti-American resistance war, Hoa Binh was chosen to host the preparatory
meeting for the second Congress of the Lao People’s Party (now the Lao People’s
Revolutionary Party) in December 1971. The Pathet Lao Radio was located in Lac
Thuy district.
Hoa Binh has also developed cooperation with the
Lao provinces of Huaphan and Luang Phrapang.
Bui Van Tinh congratulated the Lao people on the
significant achievements they have gained under the sound leadership of the Lao
People’s Revolutionary Party.
To make the year 2017 be an impression of the Vietnam-Laos special ties on the
two countries’ peoples, he said the two sides need to focus on disseminating the traditional relationship among all walks of
life, especially the youths, while promoting friendly exchanges and cooperation
between ministries, sectors, organisations, and localities, particularly Hoa
Binh and the two Lao provinces of Huaphan and Luang Phrapang. Hoa Binh is
studying to build a school for Huaphan province.

Lao Vice President Phankham Viphavanh expressed this
thanks for the support the Party, State and people of Vietnam in general and
Hoa Binh province in particular have provided for the Party, State and people
of Laos during the struggle for the nation’s liberation in the past as well as
national defence and development at present.
He lauded the remarkable changes and strong
development Hoa Binh has achieved over the past years, saying that these are the
valuable lessons for Lao poor provinces to learn during their
development.
He acknowledged Hoa Binh’s efforts in preserving
and upgrading the relic site where the preparatory meeting for the second
Congress of the Lao People’s Party took place and in training its young
generation.
The Party, State and people of Laos will
cooperate closely with the province in collecting, supplying information, photos
and objects to contribute to the site, he said.
He affirmed the Party, State and people of Laos
will continue consolidating and promoting the friendship and special solidarity
between Laos and Vietnam, and nurturing the relationship in a more fruitful
manner, contributing to ensuring peace, friendship, cooperation, and
integration in the region and the world, for the prosperity of each nation.
Duc Phuong
With the motto of "polite, dedicated, professional, and lawful,” over the years, Phu Cuong commune in Tan Lac district has gradually improved the quality of processing administrative procedures, winning high satisfaction from local people and businesses.
Stretching over 300 meters, valued at hundreds of million dong and built to the new-style rural standards, a concrete road in De hamlet, Bac Phong commune, Cao Phong district, was completed by the end of 2023 thanks to the collective contributions of armed forces at provincial and district levels coupled with the active participation of military units stationed throughout the district.
Over the years, the People’s Committee of Lac Thuy district has issued many plans and programmes to speed up the administrative reform, aiming to better serve local people and businesses.
Kim Boi district is drafting 23 planning projects which are expected to help boost the local socio-economic development, attract investors, and mobilise resources for development, said Vice chairman of the district People’s Committee Tran Tuan Son.
They include the one on Bo urban area development until 2045, 20 zoning, and 12 on rural residential areas in communes.
This year, Hoa Binh province strives to have eight communes recognised as meeting new-style rural area standards and five communes satisfying exemplary new-style rural area standards. Since the beginning of the year, the provincial People's Committee has drastically directed the implementation of the national target programme on new-style rural area building to fulfil the set target.
Cao Phong district achieved positive socio-economic development results last year as drastic comprehensive measures were implemented with high determination of its whole political system, said the Secretary of the district Party Committee Ha Van Di.
