Quang Ngai (VNA) – Prime Minister Nguyen Xuan Phuc has suggested the central province of Quang Ngai to outstandingl✨y carry forward its economic model propelled by agriculture and processing indust♛ry.
At a meeting with key provincial leaders on August 9, the Government leader underscored the need for Quang Ngai to develop its services in accordance with market rules.
It is a must for the province to review the policies and measures in place order to accomplish its socio-economic targets set for 2016, while completing its planning scheme, especially for transport infrastructure, he said.
PM Nguyen Xuan Phuc said the province should continue to give due attention to forestry and fishery despite their moderate contributions to the local GDP.
In term of investment, Quang Ngai should target projects that can benefit the people, the leader noted, urging the locality to pay more heed to restructuring, afforestation, social welfare.
While highlighting the province’s strength in maritime economy and industrial parks, as well as its achievements in economic shifting, the PM pointed out an array of limitations in the locality, particularly in agriculture, rural area building and poverty reduction.
Quang Ngai’s economy depends largely on the performance of Dung Quat Oil Refinery, which contributes to 82 percent of local GDP, provincial officials reported.
Notably, Ly Son – the province’s only island district – has posted stable socio-economic development with ensured defence and security. Its economy grows by over 16 percent every year with agriculture and aquaculture as major stakeholders.
The district is also promoting tourism, a potential industry there.
At the working session, officials from some ministries said though Quang Ngai boasts a number of industrial parks, it still relies on agriculture and Dung Quat Oil Refinery.
They said the province should make active moves to prevent oil price vagaries that can affect the refinery’s performance and, as a result, influence local residents’ income.
On this occasion, the Government leader visited the Dung Quat Oil Refinery - a national work of economic, political and security significance. The facility has a total investment of over 3 billion USD.
In the first seven months of this year, the plant produced 3.99 million tonnes of oil products and contributed 6.9 trillion VND (310.5 million USD) to the State budget.
PM Phuc expressed his hope that the plant will reap more successes and soundly contribute to the implementation of the nation’s socio-economic development tasks in 2016 and the following years.
He also visited container-based houses piloted by the H.E.L.P social joint stock company. The houses will be used to serve ethnic students in mountainous districts in the province.-VNA
VSIP Quang Ngai Ltd.Co said on July 25 it will develop a green urban area project in central Quang Ngai province worth over 1.2 trillion VND (54 million USD).
Minister of Finance Nguyen Van Thang cleared up deputies' concern regarding how to spur socio-economic growth, renew traditional growth motives and establish new momentum for development.
Vietnam proposed several priorities: narrowing the digital divide, strengthening women’s leadership in the digital economy and AI governance, and mobilising sustainable financing for gender equality initiatives in line with each country’s national priorities and context. Vietnam also advocated for genuine women’s participation and leadership across all areas of public life.
Ha expressed his hope that cooperation in science and technology, agriculture, and natural resources would emerge as new focal points and engines of growth in Vietnam–China relations.
Giang said he believes that building on the solid foundation nurtured over the past half-century and the strong determination of both nations, the Comprehensive Strategic Partnership will continue to grow in a more robust, comprehensive, and extensive manner, thus bringing more practical benefits to the two nations' people.
Highlighting the transformative potential of the draft law in revitalising Vietnam’s railway industry, Hoang Van Cuong, a deputy of Hanoi, expressed his support for Article 39, which empowers the Prime Minister to issue a list of railway-related goods and services to be assigned or ordered from domestic enterprises for production.
According to the Ministry of Public Security, Hoan, formerly Deputy Minister of Labour, Invalids and Social Affairs, is under investigation for allegedly taking bribes in connection with a case involving the Hoang Long Construction and Manpower Supply JSC and related units.
Chairing a national conference on the organisation of the examination on June 18, the PM highlighted the historical significance of the examination, as the restructuring of provincial-level administrative units is underway and the two-tier local administration model is set to officially begin operations on July 1.
Right on the same day, the ministry issued its highest-level travel warning, urging Vietnamese citizens not to travel to Israel or Iran, and advised those already in these countries to swiftly consider evacuation or relocation plans.
From the struggles against colonialists and imperialists to the period of Doi moi (renewal) and international integration, the Vietnamese revolutionary press has always played a pioneering role on the ideological and cultural front, he said.
The Party leader's working session with the standing boards of the Party Committees of HCM City, Ba Ria – Vung Tau and Binh Duong, the VNA General Director's remarks on the occasion of the 19th OANA General Assembly, the launch of new NIC - Google initiatives aimed at bolstering AI entrepreneurship and digital literacy in Vietnam are among news highlights June 18.
