Stars shining deep underground

Continuing a proud legacy of discipline and solidarity passed down through generations in Quang Ninh, one of Vietnam’s major coal-mining regions, miners today work deep underground, contributing to efforts to make coal mining safer, more efficient and environmentally responsible.

In the tunnels beneath Quang Ninh's coalfields, the lights on miners' helmets twinkle like stars in the darkness. Shift after shift, these workers dedicate themselves to their jobs, mastering modern technologies and bringing coal to the surface, contributing to the country's economic development and prosperity.
