With its special potential and competitive advantages, Phu Tho should become a leading locality in the northern midland and mountainous region, especially in rapid, sustainable development and economic restructuring, the PM said.
He asked the province to accelerate the disbursement of public investments and effectively implement national target programmes and the socio-economic recovery and development programme.
For the long term, Phu Tho needs to promote digital transformation, green economy, innovation and startup, the leader said, urging it to maximise opportunities and resources, and raise the efficiency of investments, especially FDI.
