The central province of Khanh Hoa should take the advantage of its potentials in agriculture, industry, natural and human resources as well as transport to attract investment and develop infrastructure, creating a breakthrough in socio-economic development.

State President Nguyen Minh Triet delivered the request while working with the provincial leaders in Nha Trang city on July 7.

The State leader praised Khanh Hoa’s recent achievements, especially in Party and authority building, poverty reduction and comprehensive socio-economic development.

Stressing the importance of the Party building, President Triet requested that the province attach importance to building and consolidating Party organisations, developing Party members, particularly young people and women.

He spoke highly of Khanh Hoa’s implementation of the Politburo’s Resolution No. 49 on judicial reform strategy and asked the province to increase its achievements, paying more attention to personnel training in this field.

According to the provincial report, in the first six months of the year, Khanh Hoa saw a stable socio-economic growth with budget collections of over 4.2 trillion VND, equivalent to 61.14 percent of the yearly plan and up more than 34 percent over the same period last year.

During his stay in Khanh Hoa province, the State President also visited several families of social beneficiaries on the occasion of the War Invalids and Martyrs’ Day (July 27)./.
