Over the past 70 years, upholding the “discipline and consensus” tradition, generations of Quang Ninh’s officials, Party members, authorities, and residents have united, persevered through hardships, and achieved significant pioneering accomplishments. These contributions have played a vital role in building socialism, protecting the nation, and driving the country’s renovation and development.

Once a province heavily reliant on central support, Quang Ninh has risen to become a leading province in innovation and reform in the Red River Delta, a comprehensive growth engine in northern Vietnam.

Chairman of Quang Ninh Provincial People’s Committee Pham Duc An speaks at the event.

In his keynote speech, Chairman of the Quang Ninh Provincial People’s Committee Pham Duc An emphasised that the anniversary was an opportunity not only to remember and pay tribute to those who sacrificed for the nation’s independence and reunification, but also to ignite renewed confidence, determination, and aspiration among the people of Quang Ninh today.

With a resilient revolutionary tradition, and a spirit of creative renewal, Quang Ninh’s officials, armed forces, and people remain united in writing new heroic chapters in the province’s history.

As Vietnam enters a new era of development — an era of national awakening — Quang Ninh, as one of the country’s economic front-runners, will continue to promote its hallmark spirit of “discipline and consensus.” The province commits to remaining united, proactive, and innovative, with the determination to become a model of prosperity, civilisation, and modernity. It also aims to affirm its status as a dynamic growth centre, a major international tourism destination, a key marine economic hub, and a gateway to the Northern Key Economic Region and the entire country.
