In his remarks, Nguyen Phi Long, Secretary of

the Government and province’s directions, the project on preserving and
promoting the values of the Muong ethnic culture and the Hoa Binh Civilisation
in the 2023 - 2030 period has been carried out methodologically. The
establishment of the steering committee is important to carrying out concrete
tasks.
He underlined the viewpoint that upholding
cultural values is to serve tourism development, people are the main
stakeholders in cultural value preservation and promotion, the preservation and
promotion of good values must be carried out at the same time with eradicating
backward customs, and the values of the Muong culture and the Hoa Binh
Civilisation should be turned into development resources.
The official affirmed that preserving and
promoting cultural values are a long-term task, so members of the steering
committee, sectors, and localities need to build detailed implementation plans.
The advisory group needs to include people with profound knowledge and rich
experience from central agencies and localities, artisans, along with
prestigious persons. Besides, it is necessary to devise appropriate mechanisms
and policies for implementing the project.
According to the report of the Provincial People's Committee, since 2021, Hoa Binh province has mobilized over 16,485 billion VND from the budget and the legal sources to implement the national target program of building new rural areas.
With a large natural forest area and wide forest coverage, Hoa Binh province boasts considerable potential and advantages for developing forest-based economic activities. This is also an appropriate direction for building a sustainable and environmentally-friendly economy.
Over the recent years, with their cultivation techniques and production processes meeting stringent food safety standards, Hoa Binh’s sugarcane products have been exported to several countries worldwide. The province's agricultural sector is taking various measures to enhance the productivity and quality of fresh sugarcane across its cultivation areas.
Developing a harmonious and modern-oriented infrastructure stands as one of the three breakthrough stages aimed at fostering socio-economic development, ensuring national defence and security, and contributing to transforming Lac Thuy into a relatively developed district with sustainable and inclusive growth.
Luong Son district of Hoa Binh province has focused on building model residential areas and model gardens to help local people promote their role in building new-style rural areas and civilised urban areas, thus maintaining its status as a new-style rural district.
Severe weather conditions on the last days of May has affected agricultural production in Hoa Binh province. In order to minimise the impact of extreme weather on rice yields, local farmers have mobilised human resources to harvest ripe paddy.
