Regarding key tasks in the coming time, the provincial
Party Committee Secretary requested departments, agencies and press agencies
pay attention to promoting the image and socio-economic potential of the
locality, and organise events effectively.
He asked for more attention to cyber
security issues in order to prevent the abuse of Internet to commit law
violations, and urged the authorised agencies to consider issuing mechanisms
for information provision, improve the quality of press briefings, and hold
emergency press conferences when necessary.
The provincial leader also
suggested holding more meetings online, while improving the operation quality
of websites of sectors and localities, well implementing the regulations on spokesperson,

The air is thick with the hum of drills and the clatter of machinery as the Hoa Binh – Moc Chau expressway takes shape amid the rugged terrain. Welding sparks illuminate the faces of workers, and concrete mixers churn relentlessly, laying fresh pavement on the newly-carved road. The construction site buzzes with a palpable sense of urgency, particularly in Hoa Binh province where the expressway's future is being forged.
The northern province of Hoa Binh, with over 467,000 hectares of natural forest and more than 100,000 hectares of production forest, holds significant potential for carbon credit market development.
