Having been separated from the Vietnam National Coal and Minerals Group (Vinacomin) to work directly under the Ministry of National Defence, the Dong Bac Coal Corporation has been doing well with annual capacity of more than 4.5 million tons, accounting for 10 percent of the country’s coal output. With annual revenue of VND 10 trillion, the Corporation has been active in improving social welfare and responding to the building rural areas campaign.

The provincial Party Committee Secretary Pham Minh Chinh highly appreciated the corporation and other army units stationed in the province for their achievements in running business in combination with reinforcing national defence and security, contributing to helping Quang Ninh become one of five localities nationwide with the highest economic growth.

General Duc thanked the province’s leaders, relevant agencies and people for their support to the corporation and other army units, and asked it to strengthen relations with Vinacomin and local authorities and people to complete its missions.
