Tuyen Quang launches 2026 Tree-Planting Festival

On February 23, in Tan Trao commune, the provincial People’s Committee held a ceremony to launch the “Tree-Planting Festival in eternal gratitude to President Ho Chi Minh” and an emulation movement to successfully implement the 2026 socio-economic development tasks.

Attending the event were Hau A Lenh, Member of the Party Central Committee and Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee; Nguyen Van Son, Deputy Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee and Chairman of the Provincial People’s Council; Phan Huy Ngoc, Deputy Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee and Chairman of the Provincial People’s Committee; Ma The Hong, Deputy Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee and Chairman of the provincial Vietnam Fatherland Front Committee, along with leaders of departments, agencies, localities and a large number of people.

Delegates attend the ceremony.

Addressing the ceremony, Chairman of the Provincial People’s Committee Phan Huy Ngoc emphasized the vital role of forests in sustainable development, affirming the determination to make tree and forest planting a key political task, avoiding formality. As 2026 marks the first year of implementing the 14th National Party Congress Resolution and the 2026–2030 socio-economic development plan, the province called on all levels and sectors to promote patriotic emulation, innovation, digital transformation, and the development of a green and circular economy.

The province aims to plant 13,700 hectares of concentrated forests and raise forest coverage to 62.2 percent, contributing to environmental protection and improved living standards.
