Hanoi (VNA) – Quang Ngai should pay greater attentionto planning, with priority given to promoting regional linkages and expandingconnectivity between its Chu Lai Open Economic Zone (OEZ) and Dung QuatEconomic Zone (EZ) as well as the Central Highlands, according to NationalAssembly Chairman Vuong Dinh Hue.

Hue made the statement during his meeting with theprovincial Party Committee’s Standing Board while visiting the south-centralprovince on July 26.

He said he is happy to see Quang Ngai achieving importantand considerable results in 2021 and the first half of this year. In spite ofnumerous challenges caused by climate change, natural disasters and COVID-19,the province has seen remarkable progress in socio-economic development, with itsGross Regional Domestic Product (GRDP) growth reaching 6.05% last year and6.34% in the first six months of 2022.

Agriculture remained the province’s main driver of growth,expanding 14.5% last year. Tourism and services rebounded, as seen in a 44% year-on-year increase in the number oftourist arrivals in the province in H1 and a 21% year-on-year rise in revenue fromtourism.  

Foreign trade turnover increased 27.8% to 1.8 billion USD in2021. The figures were 25% and close to 1.08 billion USD, respectively, in H1.

Last year, Quang Ngai collected nearly 24.2 trillion VND(1.03 billion USD) in budget revenue, 51.1% higher than the yearly goal. The H1collection was estimated at nearly 16.95 trillion VND, equivalent to 88.1% ofthis year’s plan.

The top legislator also pointed out several shortcomings ofthe province, saying the province needs to do more to make the most of itsadvantages in trade, services, tourism, real estate and industrial parkinfrastructure. Its GRDP per capita was relatively low, standing at 3,360 USDper person; while the percentage of rural workers remained high.

He wanted Quang Ngai to become a developed hub of the centralregion and a popular tourist destination as there is plenty of room for thesector to thrive in the province.

He also urged the province to maintain balance between conservation and development, fast and sustainable growth, industrialisationand urbanisation, and urban and new-style rural development.

Hue further asked Quang Ngai to focus on post-pandemiceconomic recovery, improving business climate and investing in culture, education,poverty reduction and social welfare, and the provincial People's Council to improve its working quality./.
