Hanoi (VNA)ꦐ – President Truong Tan Sang urged the northern province of Bac Ninh to balance industrial development and agricultural production during a visit on March 6.
The province needs to devise policies to enhance the competitiveness of local agricultural products while industrialising and building new-style rural areas, President Sang said.
He attached significance to training human resources to meet the strict requirements of regional and international integration such as in the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN), the Trans Pacific Partnership (TPP) deal and others.
The President hailed the province’s recent developments, particularly in shifting to high industry-service proportions, which account for 95 percent of the local economic structure, and improvement of local living conditions.
According to Chairman of the provincial People’s Committee Nguyen Tu Quynh, in 2015, the province’s GRDP exceeded 121 trillion VND (5.44 billion USD), up 8.7 percent, ranking sixth in the nation.
The province has drawn in 819 foreign investment projects with total investment of 11.7 billion USD.
Thirty-five communes in the province met all the new-style rural area criteria last year. The communes have fulfilled an average of 15.71 of 19 criteria under the modern rural area programme, making Bac Ninh one of the 10 localities sastisfying the most national criteria.
During the visit, President Sang offered incense to the eight kings in the Ly dynasty at the Den Do (Do Temple) in Dinh Bang ward, and late Party Chief Nguyen Van Cu at his memorial site in Phu Khe commune, Tu Son.
He also paid field visits to high-tech agricultural production fields at DABACO Group and Crucialtec Vina Company in Yen Phong Industrial Park.-VNA
Bac Ninh authorities presented an investment licence to Samsung Display Co. Ltd on August 6, marking an upcoming flow of 3 billion USD from the company into the northern province.
The Yen Phong Industrial Park in the northern province of Bac Ninh has drawn 7.5 billion USD in investment, including 7.2 billion USD from foreign investors.
The northern province of Bac Ninh has become a magnet for foreign investors thanks to its attractive investment environment and synchronous infrastructure system with a series of modern IZs.
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.
