ĐBP - The success of Party congresses at all levels reflects the unity, responsibility, and thorough preparation of the entire political system. Among the key contributors is the close coordination among sectors and forces, especially the police force, which plays a vital role in ensuring security and safety before, during, and after the congress.

ĐBP - In the early stage of implementing the two‑tier local government model, it is inevitable that difficulties and obstacles arise, particularly in handling administrative procedures for citizens and businesses. Over the past month, provincial and local authorities in Điện Biên have focused on solutions to address these challenges, improve the system, and ensure smooth, effective operations.

ĐBP - After one month of operating under the new two‑tier local government system, the political apparatus of communes and wards across Điện Biên province has gradually functioned smoothly, effectively, and in a coordinated manner. One key factor behind this success has been the clear assignment of tasks, linking specific responsibilities to each individual based on the principle of “self‑awareness of responsibility” so that every official and civil servant works proactively, constructively, and seriously.

ĐBP - Điện Biên is a mountainous, border province in the Northwest, sharing a national border with both Laos and China.

ĐBP - Inspired by President Hồ Chí Minh’s teaching that “to lead a revolution, the Party must be strong; a strong Party depends on well-functioning grassroots cells; strong cells depend on virtuous Party members,” the Điện Biên provincial Military Party Committee firmly believes that Party members are the vital link between the Party and the people. The Party Charter emphasizes that grassroots units are the Party’s foundation and that its members are revolutionary pioneers of the working class and the nation.

ĐBP - As a mountainous border province with a strategically vital position in national defense and security, Điện Biên has always been designated as a key area in building a strong defensive zone.
