He asked the Party Committees and administration as well as the Vietnam Fatherland Front (VFF) Committees and its members at all levels to continue to promote the strength from people’s great solidarity as well as the people’s will, aspirations and creativity in protecting and building the homeland in the new situation.
At the same time, it is necessary to continue to encourage locals to implement the Party and State’s policies and laws, while mobilising resources to speed up the implementation of the resolutions of the Party Congresses at all levels, he said.
Khanh also underlined the need for more specific actions to care for locals’ life, along with the implementation of the democracy rules and the settlement of problems right from the grassroots level, and the strengthening of people’s trust in the Party, State and local administration.
On the occasion, the provincial Party Committee, People’s Council, People’s Committee, and VFF Committee as well as sectors presented gifts to locals and officials of the village. Outstanding collectives, individuals, families, and students of the village were also honoured.
Hoa Binh province has carried out multiple programmes and initiatives to revive its cultural heritage which has gradually fallen into oblivion through the ebbs and flows of history.
The most prominent and defining feature in the prehistoric era of Hoa Binh is the Hoa Binh Culture. The Culture was first discovered in Hoa Binh. The significant prehistoric culture represents not only Vietnam but also Southeast Asia and southern China. Through excavations of cave sites in the limestone regions of Hoa Binh, French archaeologist M. Colani introduced the world to a "Stone Age in Hoa Binh province – Northern Vietnam" in 1927. On January 30, 1932, the First Congress of Far Eastern Prehistorians, held in Hanoi, officially recognised the Hoa Binh Culture.
Known as the "Land of Epic History”, Hoa Binh province, the gateway to Vietnam’s northwest, boasts a strategic location and a unique cultural tapestry woven by its ethnic minority communities.
The People's Committee of Luong Son District recently held a ceremony to receive the certificate recognizing Sau Communal House in Thanh Cao Commune as a provincial-level historical and cultural site.
Recognising the importance of cultural heritage preservation in protecting and promoting the value system of Vietnamese culture, and serving socio-economic development in the new period, Party committees and local administrations in Hoa Binh province have identified it as a key task in the cultural development strategy. The province has been making efforts in mobilising resources, creating consensus among people and engaging ethnic communities in preserving and promoting cultural identity.
Hoa Binh province has captured growing attention both domestically and internationally for its distinctive cultural heritage and rich history. Most notably, it has been renowned for its famous Hoa Binh culture, considered the cradle of ancient Vietnamese civilisation. Looking ahead to significant milestones in 2025 and the 140th anniversary of province establishment in 2026, Hoa Binh Newspaper presents a comprehensive overview of the province's development across economic, social, cultural, tourism, and security domains.
