Considered as “a miniature Vietnam”, Nghe An is one of the few localities that converges all three geographical regions, with the mountainous region being an extension of the Northwest and a large plain overlooking the Gulf of Tonkin, with a sea area of ​​up to 761,000km2. As the largest province in the country, with a large population and abundant labor force, by the end of 2020, Nghe An's economic scale (GRDP) had only reached more than 144,532 billion VND, accounting for 12.5% ​​of the GRDP scale of the North Central and Central Coast regions and equal to 1.97% of the national GDP scale.

With its geographical features, Nghe An is likened to a "miniature Vietnam".

In the period 2014 - 2020, the average growth rate of gross domestic product per capita (GRDP/person) of Nghe An only reached 5.55%, much lower than the average growth rate of the North Central and Central Coast regions (6.11%/year). In general, the average GRDP per capita of the province by 2020 only reached 42.9 million VND, the lowest among the 14 provinces and cities in the region.

Nghe An has not "become one of the best provinces in the North", but has been surpassed by neighboring provinces, specifically: If in 2013, the average GRDP per capita of Nghe An was 1.2 million VND higher than Thanh Hoa, by 2020 it was 8.5 million VND lower; with Ha Tinh from 5.1 million VND lower to 20.7 million VND; with Quang Binh from 2.1 million VND lower to 3.9 million VND. In general, by the end of 2020, the average GRDP per capita of Nghe An province (42.9 million VND) was only 0.75 times the average of the region (56.9 million VND) and 0.52 times the average GDP per capita of the entire economy (82.7 million VND).

By the end of 2020, the implementation of important goals, mainly "basically becoming an industrial province" of Resolution No. 26-NQ/TW, dated July 30, 2013 of the Politburo on the direction and tasks of developing Nghe An province by 2020, was also not achieved.

In that context, in preparation for the 19th Provincial Party Congress, term 2020 - 2025, the entire Provincial Party Committee has carried out extensive political activities, looking straight at the truth, correctly assessing the truth, and clearly stating the truth; carefully reviewing and evaluating the advantages, limitations, and shortcomings in leadership and direction in all fields; pointing out the causes, drawing lessons; proposing correct, timely, and practical decisions to lead and direct the organization and implementation to achieve a real breakthrough in the 19th term, term 2020 - 2025.

Cadres, party members, people, dignitaries and intellectuals inside and outside the province, with their affection, responsibility and concern for their homeland, have sent many comments to the Congress. At that time, former Minister of Trade, Head of the Economic and Social Advisory Group of Nghe An province Truong Dinh Tuyen said: The 19th Nghe An Provincial Party Congress will be a forum for new and creative ideas, for breakthrough thinking, and fearlessness. With pure motives and enthusiasm for the homeland, just act boldly and reality will gradually show, the main thing is not to be conservative, bravely admit mistakes and resolutely correct them.

The former Minister of Trade stated: Many people say that Nghe An is a land of "spiritual land and talented people", but it is necessary to understand that only when we can transform the outstanding qualities of each individual into the good of the whole system can we promote the spirit of enlightenment and Nghe An can develop rapidly. The leaders and people of Nghe An must dare to face challenges. Only by facing challenges can we know who we are and what we can do.

In October 2020, the 19th Congress of Nghe An Provincial Party Committee, term 2020 - 2025, was held, a congress of "unity, democracy, discipline, creativity, development". The Prime Minister himself, on behalf of the Party and State leaders, directed the Congress. The direction speech of the head of the Government frankly pointed out: Nghe An is still a poor province, still a province receiving large budget subsidies. Despite efforts, there are no driving projects, so it is still developing in breadth, low added value, revenue is not enough to cover expenditure and there must be stronger efforts to overcome this bottleneck.

The report submitted to the 19th Provincial Party Congress, term 2020-2025, frankly pointed out the shortcomings and inadequacies such as: Fair growth but low growth quality, low competitiveness. Slow investment attraction, no large projects with strong driving force, strong impact on economic restructuring and budget collection. Public investment is still scattered, not focused on key areas and projects. Infrastructure has not met development requirements, especially key transport infrastructure. Construction quality, management and planning implementation have not kept up with development requirements. Vinh City's development has not been commensurate with its potential and goals set out in Resolution No. 26-NQ/TW, dated July 30, 2013 of the Politburo. Many potentials of the Western Nghe An region have not been exploited effectively.
