After the merger, the whole province has 45 commune-level administrative units (42 communes and 3 wards), of which 25 units have met or basically met new rural standards, 1 commune has met advanced new rural standards.
Regarding the implementation of the criteria under the Ministry of Industry and Trade, Dien Bien is promoting investment in the rural electricity system through the project "Lighting up Dien Bien". The project has a total investment of 1,260 billion VND, providing electricity to more than 5,000 households in 110 villages in 7 districts.
Up to now, 13 villages with 628 households have been provided with electricity, disbursing more than 243/500 billion VND of capital in 2024. The province is continuing to propose capital allocation in 2025 to meet the remaining demand.
In addition, rural commercial infrastructure continues to receive investment attention. Currently, the province has 41 operating markets and 3 commercial centers, 3 standard supermarkets. In 2025, the province will deploy the construction of the Muong Thanh Market and Trade Service Project and invest in Hoa Ba Tuan Giao supermarket with a total capital of more than 235 billion VND. However, up to now, Dien Bien has not had any industrial clusters with infrastructure investment, the projects continue to attract investors for research.
According to the Department of Industry and Trade, in 2025, the industry will be allocated a total budget of more than VND516 million to implement the contents of the New Rural Program.

Mr. Nguyen Van Thinh - Deputy Director of the Department of Innovation, Green Transformation and Industrial Promotion (Ministry of Industry and Trade) delivered a concluding speech at the conference.
The Department of Industry and Trade also implemented pilot models on energy saving, energy audit, administrative procedure reform and improving the quality of rural market management. These programs directly contribute to improving the quality of new rural criteria, especially in remote communes.
However, the province still faces many difficulties. Currently, nearly 5% of households do not have access to the national grid due to rugged terrain, scattered population, and high investment costs. The province's industry is small and fragmented; craft villages associated with tourism have not yet been formed. Commercial infrastructure is not yet synchronized, especially in markets in remote areas; capital for trade promotion is limited.
Concluding the working session, Deputy Director Nguyen Van Thinh acknowledged the efforts of the Department of Industry and Trade of Dien Bien province in issuing documents, implementing tasks and maintaining stable production and trade. Dien Bien is a mountainous province with a long border and difficult economic conditions, but has strengths in developing forest economy and tourism culture. Therefore, it is necessary to continue promoting the role of small-scale industry, especially handicraft products associated with community culture, creating livelihoods and contributing to sustainable new rural construction.
