On November 8, the People’s Committee of Ha Tu Ward, in coordination with Ha Tu Coal Joint Stock Company and Nui Beo Coal Joint Stock Company, opened a series of activities marking the 90th anniversary of the Traditional Day of Coal Miners and the Coal Industry (November 12, 1936-2026), alongside Viet Nam Culture Day (November 24) and the 2026 Great National Unity Festival (November 18).
At the opening ceremony, delegates and a large number of local residents reviewed the proud traditions of coal miners in the Mining Region, reaffirming the enduring value of the “Discipline and Unity” spirit preserved and upheld by generations of miners. They also highlighted the close ties between coal industry enterprises, workers and the local community. The companies’ support and contributions have played an important role in local socio-economic development, helping make the ward increasingly modern, civilised and prosperous.

The commemorative programme features a range of engaging activities, including the mass dance performance “Miners’ Dance”, bamboo pole dancing under the theme “Dance of Unity”, tug-of-war and stick-pushing competitions, traditional folk games for students, an exhibition space entitled “Memories of Coal Miners”, and exhibition booths under the theme “Ha Tu: Integration and Development”.
