Do Duc Duy, Secretary of the provincial Party Committee, said the date October 1, 1991 is a very important milestone for the Party Committee, administration and people of ethnic groups in Yen Bai, when Hoang Lien Son province was split into two provinces of Yen Bai and Lao Cai.

 

Over the past 30 years, the Party Committee, administration and people of ethnic groups in the province have upheld the spirit of solidarity, constantly and unanimously developing Yen Bai into one of the dynamically developing provinces in the Northern mountainous area.

Specifically, the local economy maintained a good growth rate at over 6.5 percent per year in recent years; the economic structure has shifted positively, the per capita income per year increased by 50 times, and budget revenue increased by 116 times compared to the first year of re-establishment.

The workshop received 33 papers, with seven presented at the event, which gave deep analysis of the achievements, limitations, weaknesses and valuable experiences drawn from realities during the 30 years of innovation and development since the province's re-establishment.

The papers assessed the changes, development and position of the province in the comparative relationship between "the past and the present" as well as in the common development space of the Northern midland and mountainous region. The workshop also focused on clarifying the development orientations, key tasks, and breakthrough solutions in all fields, in order to help Yen Bai develop quickly and sustainably in the future.
