Dear compatriots and comrades!

The Provincial Party Secretary representing the Party Committee, government and people of Nghe An has just reviewed the proud tradition of the land of green mountains and blue waters of Nghe An. Over the past 990 years, through many ups and downs, Nghe An has always maintained its glorious and brilliant cultural and historical traditions. Throughout the history of building and defending the country as well as in the revolutionary struggle, national liberation and resistance wars against colonialism and imperialism, this place has always been a fulcrum, an important base, a solid rear, making great contributions to the glorious victories of the nation; with names such as: Tuong Duong, Con Cuong, Xo Viet Nghe - Tinh, Truong Bon, Ben Thuy bridge, Cam bridge... have gone down in history as immortal epics, forever shining symbols of revolutionary heroism. This place is also the homeland of many unique architectural, historical and cultural works. The rich, diverse and unique culture has produced folk songs, boat songs, especially the immense and profound Vi and Giam folk songs, captivating people's hearts, nurturing the souls and character of many generations of Nghe An people.

For generations, on a land that often suffers from harsh natural disasters, where life is full of hardships and difficulties, Nghe An people have always shone with the virtues of diligence, hard work, creativity, studiousness, patriotism, humanity, bravery and revolution. In particular, this land of outstanding people has given birth to generations of heroes, including the great leader, the national liberation hero, the outstanding cultural celebrity Ho Chi Minh.

During his lifetime, Uncle Ho always turned to his homeland with sacred and deep feelings, wishing Nghe An to quickly become one of the most prosperous provinces in the North. The Party and the State have always cared for, trusted, and created favorable conditions for Nghe An to develop. In particular, after the Politburo issued Resolution No. 26 dated July 30, 2013 on the direction and tasks for Nghe An province to develop by 2020, together with the feelings of compatriots and comrades across the country, they have always encouraged and helped Nghe An strive to rise up, overcome difficulties, promote potential and strengths to develop further.

To carry out Uncle Ho's advice, along with the attention and encouragement of the Central Government and the people of the whole country, after nearly 35 years of implementing the renovation policy, from a poor province, Nghe An has achieved many outstanding achievements, rising to be in the group of localities with a fairly fast growth rate in the whole country; attracting many investment resources; many routes connecting economic regions; many large projects have been and are being completed and put into operation, creating momentum for economic development. Clean agricultural projects have been invested, affirming the right direction in agricultural development. The appearance of urban, rural and mountainous areas has had many innovations. Cultural and social fields have achieved many positive results. Social security work has been ensured. People's lives have been increasingly improved. Health care, education and training have developed with high achievements in the top of the country. Social order and safety have been ensured; national defense and security have been maintained.

On behalf of the Party and State leaders, I warmly congratulate Nghe An on the great achievements it has made in recent years. This will be an important foundation for the province to develop more quickly and steadily in the future.

I also congratulate the people of the province on the occasion of Hoanh Son communal house, Nam Dan district - a place that has witnessed many changes in Nghe An's countryside - being awarded the Certificate of Special National Monument.

We would like to commend the Party Committee, government and people of all ethnic groups in Nghe An province for their practical and meaningful activities towards the anniversary; thereby introducing and honoring good traditional values, arousing people's pride in the historical and revolutionary traditions of their homeland, creating new determination to build our province to develop more and more.

Dear guests!

Dear compatriots and comrades!

Our country is entering a new stage of development with many opportunities and advantages, but also facing many difficulties, challenges, and many new issues that need to be resolved. Cadres, party members and people always put their hopes on the Party's correct decisions to develop the country both quickly and sustainably, and to constantly improve people's lives. As a province with a geographical location, rich natural conditions, a large area, stretching from East to West, with sea, forests, and plains, and having made impressive changes in recent times, Nghe An needs to continue to strive to overcome difficulties and challenges, mobilize and effectively use all resources to develop more strongly, commensurate with the province's potential and advantages.

To do that, the Party Committee, government and people of Nghe An province need to focus on implementing well the following key tasks:

The first,The Standing Committee, the Provincial Party Executive Committee, Party committees and authorities at all levels must unite and agree to lead and direct the mobilization of combined strength and great national unity; further promote the spirit of positivity, proactiveness, dynamism and creativity, overcome limitations and weaknesses, exploit all potentials, strengths and local resources and take advantage of external resources to contribute to the successful implementation of the goals and tasks of the Resolution of the 13th National Party Congress, the Resolution of the 19th Provincial Party Congress, and Notice No. 55 of the Politburo on the 5-year review of the implementation of Resolution No. 26 of the Politburo on the direction and tasks for the development of Nghe An province until 2020. In particular, it is necessary to focus on building a strong political system, especially the political system at the grassroots level, taking Party cells and grassroots Party organizations as the core of leadership.

At the same time, strengthen the shift in labor structure associated with vocational training and career conversion to provide workers with appropriate qualifications and skills for industries and services, especially the 3 economic regions: "Nam Thanh - Bac Nghe"; "Nam Nghe - Bac Ha", "Development of the Western Nghe An region" and industrial parks and tourist areas.

Tuesday,Continue administrative reform, strongly improve the investment and business environment, enhance provincial competitiveness, quality of infrastructure, services, and supply of quality labor to attract large investment projects that are a driving force for the province's socio-economic development. Nghe An must determine to be in the top 15 provinces and cities nationwide in terms of administrative reform index by 2025.

In addition, it is necessary to increase support and promote the spirit of entrepreneurship, innovation and creativity throughout the province to improve labor productivity, create new breakthroughs in production and market development; make good use of opportunities from new-generation free trade agreements to develop production, business and expand the market.

Pay more attention to socio-economic development in the western localities of the province - where infrastructure and people's lives still face many difficulties.

Thursday,continue to promote the potential and advantages of Nghe An people with valuable qualities such as studiousness, intelligence, dynamism, solidarity, affection and loyalty. This is a great and important resource for the province to develop rapidly and sustainably in the period of industrialization, modernization and integration.

I hope that every Nghe An native in and outside the province, with pride in the heroic historical, cultural and revolutionary traditions of the beloved Nghe An land and special affection for the great President Ho Chi Minh, will continue to study and follow his moral example and together arouse the aspiration to rise up, join hands and contribute to building a rich and beautiful homeland, worthy of the boundless deep affection that Uncle Ho has for us.

Dear compatriots and comrades!

Today's Anniversary is an opportunity for us to return to our roots, continue to affirm and promote the achievements of building and defending the country of the land and people of Nghe An in the historical process of the nation. This is also the time for us to look forward to the important milestone of 2030 - when the name Nghe An turns 1,000 years old, which is also the 100th anniversary of the founding of the Communist Party of Vietnam. With that special meaning, the province needs to develop more breakthroughs to soon become a "Fairly Developed Province" of the country, a center of finance, trade, tourism, education - training, science - technology, health, culture, sports, high-tech industry of the North Central region, to contribute significantly to the successful implementation of the goal by 2030 of our country becoming a developed country with modern industry and high average income. This is the most practical and meaningful achievement to show gratitude to the ancestors and generations of fathers and brothers who built this heroic land, to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the Party's founding; at the same time, to fulfill the wishes of beloved Uncle Ho.

I believe that the historical and cultural traditions of the Vietnamese people in general and Nghe An in particular will be a source of great strength and spiritual motivation for the Party Committee, government and people of Nghe An province to transform“Aspiration of Lam River to become a miracle of Lam River”.

Once again, I wish the leaders, former leaders of the Party and State, revolutionary elders, heroic Vietnamese mothers, and all delegates, compatriots, and comrades good health, happiness, and success in work as well as in life.

Thank you very much!
