Addressing the conference,
PM Nguyen Xuan Phuc acknowledged the efforts made by the Party organisation,
administration and people of Hoa Binh to fulfil socio-economic targets of 2018.
He noted the success of the investment promotion event, which drew 94 trillion
VND, equivalent to over 4 billion USD, invested by many big domestic and
foreign investors.
The PM stressed that Hoa
Binh is facing opportunities for breakthrough development, especially with the completion
of the Hoa Lac-Hoa Binh road. As one of the 10 localities in the capital
region, Hoa Binh boasts many advantages in terms of natural landscape and rich
cultural heritage, he said, noting that the province has good opportunities,
favourable location and rich human resources.
PM Phuc suggested that Hoa
Binh and investors in the province should develop long-term and synchronous
planning for sectors and fields as the foundation for investment attraction and
the development of tourism and services. Another direction is to tap the local
potential to develop farm and forestry product processing for supply for the
Hanoi capital region and for export. The local natural conditions are also
suitable for the development of ecological and green urban areas into urban
chains which can drive local growth.
The PM also urged the
province to accelerate the restructuring of agriculture in the direction of
optimising local advantages in water surface and forestry land for aquaculture
and forestry development.
He recommended Hoa Binh to
promote services to serve both local residents and investors, while focusing on
improving the business environment and supporting investors by removing
obstacles to investment projects.
Hoa Binh must ensure that
economic growth goes in tandem with social equity, and strive for inclusive
growth so that every resident benefits from the fruit of development, leaving
no one behind, particularly those in the mountainous areas and people of ethnic
minority groups, the PM said. He reminded the province to promote linkages with
other localities for better tap potential and opportunities.
At the conference, the Hoa
Binh People’s Committee presented rewards to 10 investors with great
contributions to the province’s socio-economic development. The National Office
of Intellectual Property under the Ministry of Science and Technology handed
over trademark certificates for Hoa Binh’s Da River shrimp and Hoa Binh’s Da
River fish./.
