Breakthrough in action, affirming the desire to rise up

(Baonghean) - The great historical and spiritual values ​​of the August Revolution and National Day September 2 have always been the driving force and spiritual strength for our people and country on the journey of the past 71 years. Promoting tradition, the Party Committee, government and people of Nghe An province are also striving to build their homeland increasingly prosperous, aiming to become a well-off province in the Northern region as Uncle Ho always wished.

On September 2, 1945, together with the people of the whole country, the people of Nghe An shared a common joy with the whole nation: becoming citizens of an independent and free country. In the period that followed, both fighting the war and building the nation, fighting against the French colonialists, Nghe An was one of the localities that contributed a lot of human and material resources to the world-shaking Dien Bien Phu victory in 1954. After so much pain, loss, and sacrifice, it was thought that the nation would no longer see bombs and stray bullets, but our country still had to go through another 21 years of war to regain complete unity and sovereignty in 1975.

During those years, together with the whole country, the Party Committee and people of Nghe An simultaneously carried out two revolutionary tasks: building socialism in the North and being a great rear base for the Southern frontline to fight the Americans, recording in the golden history the heroic Red village militia, winning on the fiery coordinates of Truong Bon, Cau Cam... The names of ordinary places and people have become symbols of the spirit of fighting for national liberation and national unification; for the character and character of the people of Nghe An to be shaped and affirmed in the history of the nation.

After the country's reunification, Nghe Tinh province, and then Nghe An after its separation, under the leadership of the provincial Party Committee, promoted the revolutionary tradition, the land of talented people to build the homeland, and carry out the cause of innovation. Nghe An has been affirming its position in many fields, especially striving to become the leading province in the North Central region. The 18th Provincial Party Congress, term 2015 - 2020, was successfully held, marking a new determination, a new turning point in both thinking and action of the entire provincial Party Committee with a strong determination to build Nghe An into a prosperous province in the Northern region as Uncle Ho wished during his lifetime.

Implementing the Resolution of the Provincial Party Congress, Resolution 26 of the Politburo on the direction and tasks for the development of Nghe An province until 2020, in which the focus is on implementing 3 strategic breakthroughs: building key infrastructure, training and developing human resources, and administrative reform, is drawing a new face for the heroic Soviet homeland. The socio-economic indicators of development, infrastructure investment and construction, especially the sustainable growth model, and the evenness of all regions of Nghe An are highly appreciated by the Central Government and ministries and branches.

Celebrating the 71st anniversary of the August Revolution and National Day on September 2 this year, many key works and projects were inaugurated and put into operation, vividly demonstrating the determination of the Party Committee, government and people of the province in realizing the content of the Resolutions of the Party Congresses at all levels, and Resolution 26 of the Politburo. That is the Yen Xuan bridge across the Lam River, connecting the eternal dream of the people of Nam Cuong, Nam Kim, Nam Trung, Khanh Son and Nam Phuc communes.

Or in the western district of Nghia Dan, another modern wood processing project in Southeast Asia with an investment capital of hundreds of millions of USD was also inaugurated on this occasion. The operation of the factory producing wooden bars and MDF wood promises to create an economic breakthrough not only in Nghia Dan district but also positively impact the lives and jobs of forest planting households in the western Nghe An when the output of forest planting products is guaranteed.

In the far North of Nghe An, the inauguration of the Muong Thanh Grand Hoang Mai hotel project contributed to Hoang Mai town's economic restructuring towards prioritizing the development of industry, trade, services and tourism as the town has determined, building the town into a type III urban area by 2020. In the atmosphere of celebrating the great national holiday, these are events of gratitude and also affirm the strong aspirations of the province today.

The achievements are very proud and valuable, however, on the way forward, we still face many difficulties and challenges. However, the entire political system and all the people of the province are trying to overcome the challenges, take advantage of the potentials, advantages, and apply the experience models of other countries and provinces to build a more solid foundation for our development path.

This is further confirmed when the strong commitments and actions of the provincial leaders and the entire political system in administrative reform, investment attraction, hunger eradication and poverty reduction... are being actively implemented and creating positive effects. Recently, the Provincial Party Secretary Nguyen Dac Vinh and the Provincial People's Committee Chairman Nguyen Xuan Duong went to Quang Ninh to study the administrative reform model, organized a workshop to promote the construction of e-government, smart management model, improve the quality of service for people and businesses...

With high determination, promoting the spirit of solidarity and consensus under the leadership of Party committees at all levels, we believe that Nghe An will have new breakthroughs worthy of the historical tradition, spirit and revolutionary nature of generations of Nghe An people, as the message and trust of comrade Nguyen Xuan Phuc - Politburo member, Prime Minister during his recent working visit to the province: "The precious capital of Nghe An people must be affirmed".
