Nghe An (VNA) – The north-central province of Nghe An should capture opportunities to establish itself as a leading model for modern development in central Vietnam during the new era, said Party General Secretary To Lam on May 15.
At a working session with the provincial Party Committee's Standing Board on the implementation of the resolutions of the 13th National Party Congress and the 19th provincial Party Congress as well as key tasks for 2025, he acknowledged Nghe An’s comprehensive achievements in recent years but underscored that the province still holds untapped potential.
"Nghe An needs to seize the historic opportunity brought by the Politburo’s Resolution No. 39-NQ/TW, which grants it special mechanisms to become a “fairly developed province,” he noted.
In a rapidly evolving global context, the Party chief stressed it is necessary for the province to choose a sustainable and in-depth development pathway. Key priorities must include sustaining a stable, secure, and conducive environment for growth and improving the well-being of residents. He also affirmed the importance of maintaining the Party’s central role in all policy decisions as well as of safeguarding national defence and security, particularly fostering a border of peace, stability, friendship and development with Laos.
General Secretary Lam called for a bold shift from extensive growth to a model based on innovation, efficiency, and high value-added activities. He said growth must be grounded in science, technology, and human capital, ensuring a harmonious and sustainable balance between the economy, socio-culture, and environment. He also urged a governance shift from "management" to "creation and service."

The leader encouraged stronger connections between small- and medium-sized enterprises and large corporations, universities, and research institutes to enhance competitiveness.
