Hinh, permanent Deputy Secretary of the provincial Party Committee, Chairman of
the provincial People’s Council; and Bui Van Khanh, Deputy Secretary of the

among others.
With a total investment of nearly 10 trillion VND (406.3
million USD), the nearly-34km, two-lane expressway starts from Hoa Binh’s Da
Bac to Chieng Yen commune, Van Ho district, Son La province. This is the first
expressway constructed in Hoa Binh.
The project holds special significance, as it is expected to
boost the socio-economic development of Hoa Binh and the Northwest region at
large. Once completed, the expressway will connect the transportation network
of Hoa Binh with Son La and Hanoi capital to form a key expressway axis linking
the Northwest region with the northern key economic zone.
The Standing Board of the Hoa Binh provincial Party Committee met on March 18 to review and guide major investment projects aimed at boosting local socio-economic development.
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.
Replacing substandard houses with more sturdy ones by June 30 is the direction given by Nguyen Phi Long, alternate member of the Party Central Committee and Secretary of the Hoa Binh provincial Party Committee, at a meeting held in early March by the provincial Steering Committee for the programme to eliminate temporary and dilapidated houses for the needy.
Recognising digital transformation as an inevitable trend, authorities and agencies in Hoa Binh have made great efforts in the work by focusing on three core pillars - digital government, digital society, and digital economy, resulting in enhanced competitiveness, improved investment climate, and ensured economic and social welfare.
In recent years, Da Bac district has improved administrative reform with a one-stop shop mechanism, streamlined inter-agency procedures, and a shift to digital platforms. These efforts have enhanced public service efficiency and contributed to local socio-economic development.
