Prime Minister Nguyen Tan Dung has requested the northern province of Lang Son consider making breakthroughs in trade and the bordergate economy, service and tourism as top priorities in economic restructuring and development.
PM Dung, who is also a Politburo member, made the request at the 15 th Congress of the Lang Son Provincial Party Committee on Sept. 16.
Lang Son province should speed up the construction of the Dong Dang-Lang Son bordergate economic zone and focus on infrastructure and essential facilities to attract investment and develop fields that are compatible with its strengths in order to turn the province into a trade, service and tourism centre of the northern mountainous region and function as a trade link in the relationship with China and between China and ASEAN, said Dung.
He also suggested the province create breakthroughs in rural agriculture development, with priority investment in the region’s socio-economic infrastructure, including traffic, irrigation, electricity, schools and health clinics.
On its first working day on Sept. 15, the congress heard a political report to review the previous congress resolution and discussed reasons why targets failed to be achieved, including targets set for the gross domestic product (GDP) of 2006-2010 period, and the collection of and processing solid waste.
The political report also pointed to seven basic economic development targets, nine social targets and four environmental targets which will be discussed by the congress in a search for feasible solutions.
The congress elected the executive committee for the 15 th Provincial Party’s Committee Congress. Phung Thanh Kiem has been re-elected as Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee for the 15 th tenure (2010-2015 period).
Addressing the congress, PM Dung asked the congress to find out the reasons and provide solutions to overcome existing shortcomings.
Lang Son should bring into play its potential and advantages for development as it has a favourable position and the biggest international bordergate on the route connecting Vietnam and China – a huge developing market which will become larger once the China-ASEAN free trade area is established, said the PM.
The province, which boasts big land, natural resources and human potential and diversified culture, has an important position in the Nanning-Lang Son-Hanoi-Hai Phong economic corridor and the Nanning-Singapore economic corridor, he said.
Dung asked the provincial authorities and people to develop the fine relationship with the Chinese people and to defend border sovereignty and security.
He also demanded the provincial party committee build a strong and pure Party organisation that can bring into play its nucleus role in the socio-political system, encourage people to follow President Ho Chi Minh’s moral example and constantly build strong and transparent politics, authority, fatherland front and mass organisation system from provincial to grass roots level./.
