Addressing the opening ceremony, Chairman of the provincial People’s Committee Dinh Van Dien highlighted the great role and accomplishments of King Dinh Tien Hoang in quelling internal revolts 1,048 years ago.
In 968, Dinh Bo Linh ascended to the throne and took the name of King Dinh Tien Hoang and reunified the country under the name of Dai Co Viet whose ancient capital is Hoa Lu in Ninh Binh province. The location of the kingdom was based on the favourable geographical conditions of the Ninh Binh province.
During his 12-year reign, which ended in 979, King Dinh Tien Hoang built a strongly-institutionalised dynasty with a well-arranged administration and strong military force, and prioritised making use of natural land reserves while developing economy, culture and arts.
