Hoa Binh (VNA) - National Assembly Chairwoman Nguyen Thi Kim
Ngan has asked the northern province of Hoa Binh to build a long-term
development vision to promote its advantage as a bridge
between the northern midland and mountainous area and the Red River Delta.
Attending the provincial Party Organisation’s 17th Congress for the
2020-2025 tenure on October 2, Ngan emphasised that the province needs to prioritise
investment in projects that boost socio-economic growth and improve its
business climate and competitiveness index.
Local authorities, she said, should follow a sustainable economic growth
structure that fosters its agro-forestry strengths, with a focus on the development
of the agricultural economy, technological application in the production,
processing, and distribution of farm produce, and trademark development and
trade promotion, among others.
The top legislator urged the province to effectively implement the “One Commune
One Product” programme, develop agriculture in association with community-based
tourism, tap the potential of the Hoa Binh Reservoir National Tourism Area, and
mobilise concerted efforts for new-style rural building work.
She said it is necessary for the locality to boost its activities for
better social welfare, public health care, and population quality, and underscored
the importance of educational quality improvements and ethnic cultural
conservation.
Environmental protection and natural disaster prevention and control are
also needed, the NA chief added.
She also requested Hoa Binh ensure security and defence, enhance
international integration, continue Party building work, and streamline its political
apparatus, among other tasks.
The congress convened on October 2, gathering 347 delegates representing
over 67,000 local Party members in the province.
According to a report presented, Hoa Binh grew 7.59 percent on average
annually between 2015 and 2020. Per capita gross regional domestic product (GRDP)
is estimated at 63.8 million VND - 1.6 times higher than in 2015. The local
economy, however, is yet to be sustainable, with a small economic scale and low
industrial development./.
