PM Chinh said that the Planning for the Red River Delta Region in the 2021-2030 period with a vision to 2050, which was approved by the PM on May 4, highlights six core and strategic viewpoints.
Under the planning, the region is defined as a strategic location of extreme significance, serving as the leading growth motivation and guiding the economic structure reform and growth model transformation.
The development and economic restructuring of the region must be based on science, technology, innovation and digital transformation, according to the planning which underlines that economic development must be in harmony with the growth of culture, social progress, and equality.
The PM underscored that the planning focuses on developing a synchronous and modern infrastructure system, ensuring reasonable, effective, and unified space organisation, as well as economical and efficient use of resources, energy, food, and water security, and environmental protection.
Meanwhile, socio-economic development will be combined with national defence and security assurance as well as the improvement of the effectiveness of foreign affairs activities and international integration.
According to the Government leader, the planning sketches out five major tasks and breakthroughs, including promoting the development of the infrastructure system with regional and international connection; speeding up innovation, science, technology application; preserving, exploiting and promoting cultural values of the Red River Civilisation; accelerating urbanisation; and completing mechanisms and policies for regional development and regional linkages./.
