Deputy Secretary of the provincial Party Committee and Chairman of the
provincial People’s Council Tran Dang Ninh, and Deputy Secretary of the
provincial Party Committee and Chairman of the provincial People’s Committee
Nguyen Van Quang attended the event.
At the
working session, leaders of the province proposed the Prime Minister, competent
ministries and sectors continue simplifying administrative procedures related
to investment, construction, land and environment. Provincial leaders said that
the Government should increase decentralisation so that the province can bring
into play its self-motivation, creativeness and responsibility to carry out
socio-economic targets.
Hoa Binh wants to receive financial support from the Government to recover from
natural disasters, including a landslide recovery project, and resettlement
project in residential areas 25 and 26 in Hoa Binh city’s Dong Tien ward. The
province also needs capital to restore provincial road No. 445 and some other
urgent works, compensate for site clearance to construct road 12B, and make the
remaining payment for the investor of the Hoa Lac-Hoa Binh highway.
Provincial leaders asked the Government for permission to work with
sponsors to build Hoa Binh bridge on the planned Hoa Binh-Son La highway.
Secretary of the provincial Party Committee Bui Van Tinh informed the Government
leader of the province’s challenges, advantages and development potential. He
expressed his wish to receive further support from the Government, ministries
and sectors to remove bottlenecks in mechanisms, policies and resources so that
the province can fully tap its potential and strengths.
In his conclusion, PM Nguyen Xuan Phuc said Hoa Binh province has a
better geographical location than other northwestern provinces, so it should
set higher socio-economic goals and take full advantage of its natural
resources, land, culture and people for sustainable development.
The province should work closely with relevant ministries and sectors to build a
master plan to comprehensively develop the fields of its strengths like
forestry, wood processing and high-tech agriculture.
The PM urged the province to promote regional linkages as well as production
and value chains. The province should pay special attention to outlining
rational programmes in response to natural calamities as well as measures to
ensure safety for Hoa Binh reservoir dam and lowlands, he said.
More drastic measures should be put in place to improve the province’s business
climate, better competitive capacity, and support local enterprises to develop
their business, he said, adding that startup and innovation must be encouraged
to drive the local economy as well./.
