Hanoi (VNA)🐟 – Prime Minister Nguyen Xuan Phuc asked the authorities of the Central Highlands province of Dak Lak to boost economic restructuring in a more practical manner during a working session with local leaders on June 21.
The Government leader suggested the locality pay heed to fostering agricultural production, seeking and expanding markets for farm products, and running campaigns to promote agricultural products and trademarks.
He also required Dak Lak to examine its land fund and mechanisms to reasonably distribute cultivation land to locals, towards facilitating agricultural production and private economic development and improving locals’ living conditions.
While speaking highly of the local authorities’ determination to develop Buon Ma Thuot city into a centre of the region, PM Nguyen Xuan Phuc urged the province to focus on ensuring water for production and daily use, effectively preventing deforestation and minimising migration that is hindering the locality from realising its growth targets.
He underlined the necessary for Dak Lak to well perform ethnic and religious policies and encourage start-up activities, while taking measures to improve its investment climate and provincial competitiveness index (PCI) in the spirit of Resolutions 19 and 35 of the Government. According to Chairman of the provincial People’s Committee Pham Thanh Nghi, Dak Lak will focus on building new-style rural areas in a practical and comprehensive manner, aiming to bring sustainable interests to local farmers.
The locality will strongly invest in agricultural production and industries serving agriculture as well as develop energy, services and tourism, he stressed.
Dak Lak has submitted a proposal to the Government to build the York Don National Tourism Site on the basis of the York Don National Park, with a view to laying a foundation for pushing local economic and tourism development in the future.
Agreeing in principle with the locality’s proposal, the PM requested relevant ministries and sectors, and the local authorities to strictly abide by regulations on forest development and environmental protection in the national park.
The site should also serve as a centre for training and performing traditional art forms of Central Highlands ethnic minority groups, contributing to preserving the unique cultural values of the region, he stressed.
Dak Lak has been one of the localities hardest hit by prolonged drought in the Central Highlands. However, it still maintained a stable socio-economic development, with estimated Gross Regional Domestic Product (GRDP) hitting 16.5 trillion VND (742.5 million USD) in the first two quarters of this year, up 4.6 percent year-on-year. It also made remarkable achievements in budget collection, poverty reduction, and support for people in drought-hit areas./.
Five Central Highlands provinces of Gia Lai, Kon Tum, Dak Lak, Dak Nong and Lam Dong plan to upgrade their transport infrastructure systems at a cost of more than 115 trillion VND (5.22 billion USD).
Prime Minister Nguyen Xuan Phuc has urged authorities in the Central Highlands to focus on socio-economic development and improve living conditions for local people.
Up to 2.25 million hectares of natural forests in the Central Highlands are not allowed to be open to commercial projects, said Prime Minister Nguyen Xuan Phuc.
Stronger efforts and determination are required to achieve and surpass the set targets, especially in the eradication of makeshift and dilapidated houses nationwide, the acceleration of public investment disbursement, and the implementation of nationally important transport projects, PM Pham Minh Chinh noted.
The trip will be made at the invitations of Chinese Premier Li Qiang and WEF President and CEO Børge Brende, according to an announcement from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
Long spoke highly of the dynamic, positive, and comprehensive development of Vietnam – Russia relations in recent years. He affirmed that the Vietnamese Party and State place great importance on further strengthening the comprehensive strategic partnership with Russia in a substantive and effective manner, in line with the development needs of both nations.
At the conference, participants reported that the Government has so far issued 28 decrees on the delegation of responsibilities and powers between the central Government and two-tier local administrations. Several localities have already piloted the new governance model.
Reality is the ultimate benchmark for success, he said, urging drafting agencies to work out policies that foster development, reduce bureaucratic hurdles, and respect practical conditions.
Under the official dispatch signed on June 20, ministers, heads of ministerial-level agencies, and chairpersons of provincial and municipal People’s Committees are requested to concentrate efforts on implementing core measures to ensure the smooth operations of the new administrative framework.
The Party chief underscored the need for the press to innovate relentlessly, evolve to keep pace with the country's development, transform into a truly professional, humanistic, and modern sector that serves the cause of the Party, the State, and the people on the path to national construction and development.
The UN Secretary-General praised Vietnam’s remarkable achievements in socio-economic development and international integration in recent years, noting that the country has emerged as a model in implementing the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), promoting international peace and security, and engaging in key UN processes.
Nghia affirmed that this is a milestone of special significance, affirming and honouring the the Vietnamese revolutionary press’s glorious tradition of 100 years of serving the revolutionary cause of the Party, serving the Fatherland, and serving the people.
The Party and State of Vietnam always attach great importance to and give top priority to the development of Vietnam–China relations. Vietnam is ready to work with the Chinese Party and State to further deepen the Comprehensive Strategic Cooperative Partnership and promote the building of the Vietnam-China community with a shared future that carries strategic significance.
Under the leadership of President Ho Chi Minh and the CPV, President Cuong said, the press has been a steadfast force on the ideological and cultural front, rallying the masses to pursue national aspirations.
NA Chairman Tran Thanh Man stressed the need to accelerate the application of artificial intelligence and smart teaching equipment, innovate teaching and assessment methods, and further improve the quality of formal education.
He also pledged that the NA will promote its ongoing supervision, making sure that every promise must lead to results, and every commitment must bring about real changes.
Minister of Industry and Trade Nguyen Hong Dien welcomed the proposals put forward by the US side and reiterated Vietnam’s request for consideration of key areas of interest, including reciprocal tariff policies and access for Vietnamese key export products to the US market.
Deputy PM Le Thanh Long proposed countries promote shared values, including building trust, sincerity, and solidarity among nations and peoples; fostering cooperation spirit and responsible behaviour as well as upholding international law and the UN Charter; and placing people at the centre and as the goal, the key player, and the driving force of all policies.
