Provincial Party Secretary - Tran Van Lau and the working delegation surveyed the landslide situation at Thanh Long islet.

Joining the delegation were comrade Lam Minh Dang - Deputy Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee; comrade Chau Van Hoa - Member of the Provincial Party Committee, Vice Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee.

During the survey, the locality reported the landslide situation in Quoi Thien commune and Thanh Long islet. Specifically, on October 23-24, 2025, there were many landslides, overflows, and dike breaks in Phuoc Ly Nhat, Binh Thuy, Phuoc Thanh, Thong Luu and Phuoc Ly Nhi hamlets (Thanh Long islet), with a total length of more than 1,500m, causing damage to about 62 hectares of fruit orchards, estimated at 75 million VND. The locality has mobilized people and mechanical equipment for temporary reinforcement, but there is still a risk of another 527m of landslides, requiring 2.8 billion VND to completely handle. In particular, the Thanh Long islet dike frequently has serious landslides.

Kindly asking about the health and encouraging households affected by landslides, Provincial Party Secretary - Tran Van Lau said that after high tides and floods caused flooding, affecting people's lives, activities and safety, local authorities also quickly deployed timely response measures.

In the coming time, the Provincial Party Secretary requested the locality to continue to monitor and inspect the situation for timely handling. Mobilize 6 households living on Thanh Long islet to relocate to a safe area. At the same time, the Provincial Party Committee and People's Committee will continue to research and develop housing support projects for people, creating conditions for long-term stable life. The local government affirmed that it will always care for, look after and prioritize the interests of the people for a stable and safe life.

Provincial Party Secretary - Tran Van Lau spoke at the working session with the Party Committee and People's Committee of Quoi Thien commune.

Working with the Party Committee and People's Committee of Quoi Thien commune, Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee - Tran Van Lau highly appreciated the spirit and responsibility of the locality in the work of preventing and responding to landslides during the recent flood and high tide season. Quoi Thien commune has the characteristic of being an island commune, isolated from the mainland, so it still faces many difficulties in economic development and natural disaster prevention. The Provincial Party Committee Secretary requested the commune to continue to survey and evaluate each area specifically, in which priority is given to handling points with high risk of landslides, proactively preventing and responding early, remotely and promptly.

Provincial Party Secretary Tran Van Lau also reminded the locality to review households living outside the dike area at risk of landslides and encourage people to move inside the dike to ensure safety.

Provincial leaders visited and presented gifts to households affected by landslides.

Regarding Thanh Long islet, it is recommended that relevant sectors and units study and develop a project to relocate people to the mainland and submit it to the Provincial Party Committee Standing Committee for consideration, in order to ensure the safety of people's lives and property; relevant units need to coordinate to strictly handle the situation of illegal river sand mining.
