The head of government made the assertion on March 4 at a meeting with the provincial leaders regarding a number of projects based in the province as well as its overall socio-economic development.
He noted that Ha Tinh needs to tap into its strength of having a deep-water port and take advantage of the opportunities brought by the new-generation of free trade agreements as well as the advanced technologies of the fourth industrial revolution.
PM Phuc stated that Ha Tinh province should pay attention to following the right orientation over the next ten years and endeavour to balance its budget by 2025 without relying on funding from the central government.
The prime minister also urged the province to improve its business environment, accelerate key projects and promote e-government applications.
According to Ha Tinh Chairman Tran Tien Hung, the provincial economy expanded by nearly 11% in 2019, the second highest growth rate amongst Vietnam’s north central provinces.
