The Government leader applauded the solidarity and determination
of the provincial Party committee, authorities and people in achieving their
level of sustainable development, maintaining security and order, and ensuring
social safety.
Accordingly, Lang Son has achieved an
annual economic growth rate of 8% and its GDRP per capita in 2017 reached
VND35.6 million.
He stressed the important position of
the province regarding the political, economic, defence and security spheres in
the country’s northeast region, as the locality shares around 230 kilometres of
border with China and serves
as a major gateway to China
and ASEAN.
Therefore, Lang Son province should set
its vision on boosting trade, tourism, agriculture and forestry while pushing
border economic development and fostering neighbourly relationship with China.
He also mapped out other major tasks for
the province, including preserving local cultural identity, maintaining
security and defence, developing high-tech agriculture and rural areas,
reducing poverty, and improving healthcare and education in remote areas.
