Dear delegates!

Dear all people!

As we all know, Thanh Hoa city is the administrative, economic, cultural, political and scientific-technical center of the province; the gateway city connecting the key economic region of the North with the North Central region, the exchange hub of the province with the whole country; has an important position in terms of national defense and security; where the traditional values, national spirit and revolutionary will of the people of Thanh Hoa converge.

220 years ago, in 1804, from the "Ly So" in Duong Xa village, the Nguyen Dynasty established Thanh Hoa citadel and moved to Tho Hac village, named Hac Thanh. From Hac Thanh to today's City, through historical periods, the people of Thanh Hoa city have strived, step by step bringing the City forward with the development of their homeland and country. In particular, with many changes in location and name, in 1994 Thanh Hoa town was upgraded to a city; in the renovation period, after 20 years of construction, Thanh Hoa city was recognized as a class I urban area under the province in 2014.

After 30 years since its establishment, with the attention, leadership and direction of the Provincial Party Committee, People's Council, Provincial People's Committee; the coordination and facilitation of localities and people of all ethnic groups in the province, with the spirit of "The whole province for the city - the city for the whole province"; through many times of expanding urban space, up to now, Thanh Hoa city has achieved important and comprehensive achievements in all aspects, worthy of being the political, economic, cultural and social center of the province, one of the large and dynamic cities of the region and the whole country.

With its important achievements and contributions, Thanh Hoa city has been recognized by the Party and State, awarded many noble titles and especially at today's solemn ceremony, the city was honored to receive the First Class Labor Medal. That is the recognition, affirmation of the stature and maturity of Thanh Hoa city - a large urban area in the urban system of Vietnam.
