Speaking at the meeting, comrade Nguyen Dac Vinh acknowledged the efforts of the Provincial People's Committee and departments, branches and localities in promoting solutions for socio-economic development in the first 6 months of 2017. The statistical indicators show positive signs, but looking at the goals set out in the Resolution of the Provincial Party Congress for the 2015-2020 term, it requires more determination from the Provincial People's Committee, departments, branches and localities.

On that basis, it is necessary to focus on administrative reform, soon realize investment projects, contribute to solving employment for workers, increase revenue in the area. The Provincial Party Secretary requested the Provincial People's Committee, departments, branches and localities to accelerate the implementation of the Vinh-Cua Lo Boulevard construction project to promote investment between the growth poles of the province.

At the same time, actively support business development, remove difficulties for businesses in each field, focus on and promote practical effectiveness. The Provincial Party Secretary also assigned the Provincial People's Committee to direct well the implementation of solutions to increase revenue, balance revenue and expenditure, and reserve for key projects that have a great impact on economic and social development.

The above solutions can be implemented in the last 6 months of the year, but they also need to be promoted in the following years to achieve the goals of the 2015-2020 term. In addition to promoting investment attraction, the Provincial People's Committee also needs to resolutely revoke projects that are slow to implement, and those signed in the form of land retention, to hand over to other businesses for sustainable investment.

Comrade Nguyen Dac Vinh also assigned the Provincial People's Committee to direct the effective implementation of the transfer of some agricultural and forestry land areas to people for production and to promote World Bank (WB) loan projects in Vinh City.

Comrade Nguyen Xuan Duong, on behalf of the Provincial People's Committee, received the instructions of the Provincial Party Secretary and assigned specific tasks to the relevant sectors to implement, focusing on solutions to promote socio-economic development in the area.
