In particular, the province has taken strong and flexible moves in response to the COVID-19 pandemic last year so as to swiftly revitalize production and business activities and adapt to the new normal, Lan added.

Congratulating Bac Ninh on its substantial efforts and achievements, General Secretary Trong asked the province to continue upholding its glorious traditions so as to build an increasingly clean and strong Party organization and political system and become an exemplary Party organization of the entire nation.

He underlined that economic development must be promoted in tandem with cultural and social development, especially the maintenance of local cultural values as well as the country’s advanced culture deeply imbued with the national identity.

At present, all-level Party committees, authorities, and organizations in Bac Ninh need to work to ensure a merry Tet for all residents, including revolution contributors, disadvantaged and low-income households, and workers, he added.

The leader expressed his belief that the province’s Party organization, administration, and people will stay united to step up reforms while achieving and surpassing the targets set at the 20th provincial Party Congress in order to secure sustainable development.
