Ngan attended the 15th Party organisation’s congress of northern
Quang Ninh province on September 26, during which she lauded efforts it has
made to become one of Vietnam’s leading localities in terms of economic growth, provincial competitiveness, administrative reform and IT application.
To achieve higher
growth, Ngan requested Quang Ninh to continue renewing its ways of thinking and doing,
speeding up economic restructuring in combination with growth model change,
concentrating on services, hi-tech industry and agriculture, and supporting
industry, and increasing support for start-ups.
The province should
bring into full play its potential and advantages to create new motivations for
growth, while using resources appropriately and effectively to achieve
sustainable development, and promoting connectivity in the key northern economic
zone.
It is also necessary
to soon complete the making of the province’s planning for 2021-2030 with a
vision to 2050 in accordance with national and regional planning, and avoid
overlappings in planning.
She also noted that Quang Ninh need develop high-quality human resources and
skilled workers to meet rapid economic development requirements, and
invest more in education and training to make 15 percent of its educational
institutions, which have yet to meet national standards, to achieve the
standards by 2025.
Due attention has to be
paid to improving the investment and business climate, she said, highlighting
the importance of increasing provincial competitiveness and creating a healthy
competitive environment for all economic elements to develop.
Ngan also urged the province
to pay more attention to mountainous areas, carry out social welfare policies
synchronously, harmonise urbanisation and new-style rural area building, and
continue speeding up administrative reform to better serve local people.
The NA Chairwoman
highlighted the importance of ensuring defence-security, maintaining national
border security, staying ready to effectively respond to non-traditional
security challenges, and ensuring social order and safety.
She also asked the
locality to intensify Party building and rectification, and well conduct personnel
work to select competent officials.
Over the past five
years, Quang Ninh has experienced high and sustainable growth, with an average
annual growth rate of 10.7 percent. Average GRDP per capita is estimated at 6,700
USD in 2020, two times higher than the country’s average figure./.
