At the beginning of the Ceremony, delegates reviewed the 30-year journey of building and developing Co To district.
Co To island district is located at the gateway, the "fence" of the Northeast region of the Fatherland, with an important position in terms of geopolitics, economics, culture, national defense, security and foreign affairs.
Exactly 30 years ago, on March 23, 1994, the Government issued Decree No. 28 on renaming Cam Pha district to Van Don district, separating Co To archipelago including 2 communes Co To and Thanh Lan into Co To district, Quang Ninh province. This is an important milestone marking the birth of Co To district - an outpost island district located in the Northeast of the Fatherland.
Despite the difficult and arduous starting point, with the determination of the entire political system, the special attention of the Central Government and Quang Ninh province, together with the determination, bravery and spirit of solidarity, dynamism and readiness to overcome difficulties of the cadres, soldiers and people of the island district, the face, appearance and image of Co To have changed day by day and contributed significantly to improving the quality of life of the people.

Co To is the first New Rural island district in the country (2015) and basically achieved the status of an advanced New Rural district according to the new criteria set in 2022. The average income per capita in 2023 will reach nearly 130 million VND/person. Tourism and services have developed remarkably, becoming a spearhead economic sector, accounting for nearly 70% of the economic structure. The number of tourists to Co To has increased steadily over the years. In 2023, Co To welcomed over 320,000 visitors. Co To is striving to achieve the goal of shifting the economic structure from "brown" to "green", ensuring harmony between economic growth and biodiversity conservation, environmental protection and sustainable development; maintaining the goal of 5 no's "no more poor households, no beggars, no drugs, no theft, no social evils" and striving towards the goal of Co To having no crime, no plastic waste".
