Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh asked the southeastern province of Tay Ninh to pursue a path of rapid, comprehensive and sustainable development while speaking at a conference on May 5 to announce its master plan for the 2021-30 period, with a vision toward 2050.
He requested that the implementation of the master planning scheme must align with the national, regional and sectoral planning strategies, with a focus on effectively pooling and using all legitimate resources to bolster existing economic drivers while fostering new areas for growth.
The Premier called for increased investment, improved human resources training, and enhanced connectivity on international, regional and domestic levels.
Stronger efforts must be made to develop synchronous and strategic infrastructure which should support industries serving manufacturing, processing, global and regional supply chains, promote the application of sci-tech and innovation in production and trade, and create stable livelihoods for residents, he said, adding that attention should be paid to cross-border and agriculture economy, tourism, and green, digital and circular economy.
Additionally, the province was urged to improve its capacity in climate change adaptation, natural resource management and environmental protection.
Tay Ninh is set to become a climate-resilient and worth-living province by 2030, with a robust economy driven by the strong industry and tourism sectors.
Last year, the province achieved a GRDP growth rate of 6.12 percent, higher than the national average, ranking second in the southeastern region. Foreign direct investment saw an 8.5 percent increase, solidifying Tay Ninh's position among the country's top 15 provinces and centrally-run cities.
Its export turnover reached USD 6.6 billion, placing Tay Ninh at the 13th position out of 63 provinces and cities. Tay Ninh's state budget revenue surpassed the set plan, reaching VND 11.5 trillion (USD 479 million).
Notably, the province has consistently ranked among the top 10 localities with the lowest poverty rates nationwide for the past five years.- (VNA/VLLF)
