Along with that, the Provincial People's Council issued 55 resolutions, the Provincial People's Committee issued hundreds of documents, projects and plans to concretize, create a legal framework and resources for implementation.

A highlight is that Quang Ninh has mobilized over 120,000 billion VND to implement Resolution 06 and national target programs, of which the budget capital only accounts for about 16%, the rest is socialized capital, especially credit capital accounting for up to 82.5%. From "1 budget dong", the province mobilized "5 non-budget dong", demonstrating a creative and flexible development mindset in management.

By doing so, a series of key infrastructure projects, connecting mountainous, border and island areas with the province's driving centers were completed, opening up new development opportunities. 15/15 driving traffic projects were implemented synchronously; the whole province has 6,359 BTS stations, 100% of communes in difficult areas have electricity, mobile phone signals, 4G network; 99.9% of rural households have access to clean water, of which 85.5% meet clean water standards.

Awakening inner strength for development

The province's investment in infrastructure and policies has helped ethnic minorities, mountainous, border and island areas to rise up from poverty and become rich. Up to now, the average income per capita in this area has reached nearly 84 million VND/year, 1.5 times higher than in 2020. The whole province has completed the sustainable poverty reduction target for the period 2021-2025 3 years ahead of schedule, with no more poor households according to the Central poverty standard.

To achieve this result, over the past 5 years, the province has focused on synchronously implementing many solutions to reorganize production in ethnic minority, mountainous, border and island areas, increase the value of agricultural, forestry and fishery production, and create sustainable livelihoods for people.   The province has created stable jobs for tens of thousands of young workers through business-locality connections, especially in the coal industry and industrial parks and economic zones. Concentrated production models, new-style agricultural cooperatives, and OCOP products have developed strongly. Up to now, the whole province has 768 cooperatives and 432 OCOP products with 3-5 stars, forming a sustainable value chain and increasing people's income.

The goat farming model of Mr. Pham Viet Cao's family (An Loi village, Quang Tan commune) brings in an income of 400-500 million VND/year.

In particular, the community tourism movement in ethnic minority areas has developed strongly. Localities such as Hoanh Mo, Ba Che, Tien Yen, Dien Xa, Van Don, Ky Thuong... have turned cultural potential, landscapes, and identities into unique tourism products, linking cultural preservation with sustainable livelihoods.

Persisting with the people-centered viewpoint, all Quang Ninh people enjoy the fruits of development, leaving no one behind, in the 2026-2030 period, Quang Ninh continues to set the goal of improving the quality of growth in ethnic minority, mountainous and border areas; synchronously completing infrastructure; developing green economy, sustainable community tourism; preserving and promoting national cultural identity; consolidating national defense and security; building a strong and comprehensive grassroots political system.

Mr. Dang Tien Phong (Luc Chan village, Hai Son commune): My family has a new, spacious and convenient place to live.

To materialize the province's policy of eliminating temporary and dilapidated houses, Hai Son commune has implemented a project to relocate people from disadvantaged areas to more favorable areas. My family is one of the households in Ly La village, a village located about 20km from the commune center. In early 2025, my family was mobilized by the commune government and supported with 80 million VND to build a spacious level 4 house in the resettlement area near the commune center. The house is now completed, with electricity, clean water, and full telephone signal. The life of my family and the people moving to the new area is much faster and more convenient than before. Children can go to nearby schools, and my husband and I have the conditions to develop the economy, grow vegetables, raise livestock, and do small business. From temporary housing, we now have a solid house, a stable life, and people trust more in the policies of the Party and the State. Everyone is excited and united with the government to build new rural areas and maintain security at the homeland's borders.

Mr. Ly Van Quan (Phai Giac village, Phong Du commune): Our people have benefited a lot.

Phai Giac village used to be one of the most remote and difficult areas of Tien Yen district. In recent years, thanks to the investment attention of the province and the effective implementation of Resolution 06 of the Provincial Party Committee, the appearance of the homeland has changed significantly. Asphalt and concrete roads have been built to every alley; national grid electricity has reached every household, 4G waves have covered the entire village, helping people easily communicate, promote and introduce agricultural products to the market. Our people have benefited a lot from Resolution 06 of the Provincial Party Committee, convenient roads, easier trade, and agricultural products are bought by traders. The State has provided capital support and technical guidance, so people have boldly changed crops and livestock, and their income has improved day by day. People are excited and united to protect the forest and the border, contributing to making their homeland more and more beautiful.

Party Cell Secretary, Head   village   Truong Tung (Hai Lang commune )   Tran Van Tuyen: People not only have a prosperous life, but also understand the law.

Previously, due to the remoteness of the village, villagers had little opportunity to access legal policies. When disputes and violations occurred, they mainly relied on internal mediation, with limited effectiveness. In recent years, thanks to the dissemination and legal education programs of the province and commune, people's legal awareness has been significantly improved. Legal propaganda sessions are now held right at the village cultural house, in a visual, easy-to-understand form, with judicial officers and legal assistants directly answering questions. People are very excited. Now, people not only have a better material life

Vice Chairman of Luc Hon Commune People's Committee Hoang Thi Vinh: Ethnic minority areas have comprehensive and sustainable development

Luc Hon is a highland border commune with a large ethnic minority population. In the past, people's lives were difficult. Since Resolution 06 was implemented, the commune has received strong investment attention in infrastructure, livelihoods and social security policies. The inter-village and inter-commune road system has been concreted, 100% of households have access to national grid electricity and clean water. People's lives have changed significantly, the poverty rate has decreased rapidly, many models of production development and community tourism have been formed and replicated. Notably, the resolution has not only changed the face of mountainous rural areas, but also changed the thinking, awareness and way of doing things of the people, from being passive to proactive. This is the greatest success in the process of sustainable development of ethnic minority areas.
