At exactly 19:30, the program began with an important speech by the Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee, Mr. Vuong Quoc Tuan. With pride, he emphasized that Bac Ninh - Kinh Bac has been a land of talented people for thousands of years, a "fence" guarding the North of the thousand-year-old capital of Thang Long - Dong Do - Hanoi. History has recorded the glorious victories of this land: From the battle of Nhu Nguyet in 1077 with the first declaration of independence "Nam Quoc Son Ha" (the heroic mountains and rivers of the South); to the victory of Xuong Giang in 1427, which contributed to ending the domination of the Ming invaders; or the Yen The uprising led by De Tham, which demonstrated the indomitable spirit of the nation. Those victories are shining symbols of the ardent patriotism, steadfast spirit, and indomitable will of the Kinh Bac people.

The drum performance opened the program.

Not only a hero in the history of building and defending the country, Kinh Bac is also a homeland of culture and education, a place where the quintessence of the nation has crystallized through many generations. Bac Ninh is proud to be a land of learning, the homeland of many famous people and talents who have contributed to building the country's culture and academics. In particular, Bac Ninh is the cradle of Quan Ho folk songs, a unique art form recognized by UNESCO as a representative intangible cultural heritage of humanity. Along with a massive system of historical and cultural relics such as Dau Pagoda, Do Temple, But Thap Pagoda, Phat Tich Pagoda, Bo Da Pagoda, Vinh Nghiem Pagoda..., hundreds of traditional craft villages and a rich treasure of folk culture, all form a sustainable, vibrant and unique Kinh Bac culture.

After more than 28 years of re-establishment, the two provinces of Bac Ninh and Bac Giang have made constant efforts to rise up and become dynamic growth poles of the Northern key economic region. The establishment of the new Bac Ninh province not only has profound political and administrative significance but also opens up a large, sustainable and comprehensive development space. The merger is the starting point for a new journey - a journey of inheritance, innovation and breakthrough development. And in that journey, each citizen will be a nucleus of creativity, a subject of innovation, and a person who continues to write the glorious history of the homeland (Comrade Vuong Quoc Tuan's speech is published in full on Bac Ninh Electronic Newspaper).
