To meet the new requirements of the revolution and the construction of socialism in the North, the National Assembly of the Democratic Republic of Vietnam decided to merge Bac Giang and Bac Ninh provinces into Ha Bac province in 1962. On October 17, 1963, President Ho Chi Minh and Politburo member, Chairman of the National Assembly’s Standing Committee Truong Chinh visited the province and attended the first provincial Party Congress.

Speaking at the event, President Ho Chi Minh affirmed: “With a large population, big land area and rich resources, Ha Bac has the conditions to become a rich and strong province."
