The Hoa Binh Hydropower Plant, a symbol of the renewal period, is a multifunctional facility of great significance and importance, which directly serves the industrialization and modernization cause of the country and contributes to promoting socio-economic development of Hoa Binh province in particular and northern provinces in general.

Regarding Prime Minister’s decision, Deputy Minister Bui Van Nam said: “The General Department of Security and Hoa Binh Police Department should promptly discuss situations of hostile forces and criminals, aiming to raise the awareness and sense of vigilance of all cadres and employees of the plant and guild them to proactively protect their lives and State’s property in case of a bad happening.”
