Quang Ninh (VNA) – An exhibition ꦉon the 60-year journey of formation and development of the northern coastal province of Quang Ninh kicked off at the provincial Exhibition of Planning and Expo Centre on October 25.

On display are over 1,500 images, 40 clips, and 230 artifacts, spotlighting milestones and imprints, and outstanding socio-economic development achievements in Quang Ninh’s development over the last six decades, as well as its beauty. The exhibition contributes to affirming and honouring efforts made by the local authorities and people to promote the locality’s development, especially during the renewal and integration period. Addressing the event, acting Chairman of the provincial People’s Committee Cao Tuong Huy said this is the largest exhibition ever in Quang Ninh, which creates connection between the past, the present and the future. It offers a chance for people and visitors, especially youths to study and understand more about the locality’s development, he noted. This activity is part of a series of events celebrating Quang Ninh’s 60th founding anniversary (October 30, 1963- 2023), contributing to promoting the spirit of solidarity, joint efforts, and tireless determination and the desire to develop Quang Ninh into a prosperous, civilized and modern locality. Recently, authorities of the northern province of Quang Ninh have rushed to complete many construction projects to mark 60 years of the province's establishment. Seven out of 36 district-level projects registered for inauguration have been completed, including four projects in Ba Che district and three in Co To district. The inauguration of the projects has importantly contributed to promoting socio-economic development in the localities. Notably, a project to prevent flood along roads has played a crucial role in definitively addressing traffic disruptions in the rainy and flood seasons, thus facilitating local residents' travel. Investors have committed to completing the remaining 29 projects in October. Meanwhile, three among 12 provincial-level projects have been completed. A wide range of activities are also being held in Ha Long city to celebrate the locality’s founding anniversary. The city’s authorities are making every effort to complete the remaining two projects, which are the project on upgrading, renovating, and expanding a road from the intersection of the Ha Long-Van Don highway overpass in Trai Me village (Son Duong commune) to Dong Tra village (Dong Lam commune); and the construction of Quang La Secondary - High School (Quang La commune). Accordingly, the transport project has received a total investment of more than 812.7 trillion VND. The four-lane road spans a total length of 10,118km. Meanwhile, the education project has a total investment of over 197.5 trillion VND. Covering an area of about 4.17 ha, the school can accommodate up to 940 students. Work on the transport and education projects has completed 73% and 98% of the workload, respectively. Both are expected to be finished before October 30, 2023. In addition to the four projects, the city is also working on two other projects: upgrading and expanding Quang Ninh provincial Lung Hospital in Cao Xanh ward; and renovating October 30 Square in Hong Hai ward. As of September 28, 35 out of 53 projects have been completed in 29 communes and wards in Ha Long city./.
