Chairman of the communal People’s Committee Kha
A Lau said with a view to accelerating the implementation of the national
target programmes on new-style rural area building, sustainable poverty
alleviation, and socio-economic development in ethnic minority-inhabited and
mountainous areas, local authorities will drastically and flexibly direct the
implementation of socio-economic tasks, make preparations for the 2024-2025
winter-spring crop, and enhance investment in tourism to lure more visitors,
helping promote local socio-economic development.
No success is easy, especially for a mountainous province like Hoa Binh, which still faces many difficulties. In the process of economic restructuring, the locality encounters various challenges, ranging from weak infrastructure, ineffective investment attraction, to barriers in awareness. However, it has taken effective solutions to overcome obstacles hindering economic development.
A revolution is unfolding in Hoa Binh province, with broad roads stretching across the terrain, industrial zones humming with machinery, organic vegetable fields rolling out in vibrant green expanses, and tourism destinations emerging, rich with cultural identity.
The Youth Union of Hoa Binh city has launched a series of initiatives to foster entrepreneurship, providing members with opportunities to showcase their potential and contribute to local development.
In recent years, the cooperative economy in Hoa Binh province has made significant progress, particularly in the agricultural sector. This development has contributed not only to local economic growth but also to improving livelihoods, promoting rural development, and protecting the environment.
