Mr. Ho Hung Anh affirmed that Techcombank will support the province in establishing the Provincial Planning for the period 2021-2030, with a vision to 2050, with the desire to contribute to helping the province have the best planning to promote socio-economic development.

For effective implementation, Techcombank leaders suggested that the province prepare good resources to work with consultants, including human resources.

In addition, the Chairman of the Board of Directors of Techcombank also said that the bank identified Nghe An as a key locality in business activities in the North Central region and has funded many large investment projects in the province.

In the near future, Techcombank will build one of its headquarters in Vinh City to meet development requirements.

At the meeting, the two sides also agreed to sign a cooperation agreement between Nghe An province and Techcombank in the coming time, laying the foundation for increasingly deeper and more effective cooperation.

To prepare for the provincial planning, on September 12, 2017, the Provincial People's Committee sent a dispatch to the Prime Minister proposing a policy to develop the planning of Nghe An province for the period 2021-2030.

Accordingly, on October 27, 2017, the Government Office issued a general reply to the provinces and centrally-run cities regarding the approval of adjustments to the master plan for socio-economic development.

Based on the content of this dispatch, the Master Plan of Nghe An province to 2020 was adjusted and approved by the Prime Minister on May 12, 2015.

Therefore, the province belongs to the group of localities that must conduct new planning for the 2021-2030 period according to new regulations of the law on planning.

Accordingly, in Resolution No. 11/NQ-CP dated February 5, 2018, the Government assigned the People's Committees of provinces and centrally run cities to concentrate resources on organizing the development of provincial planning for the 2021-2030 period according to the provisions of the Law on Planning, and submit it to the Prime Minister for approval before December 31, 2020.

According to the Law on Planning passed by the National Assembly on November 24, 2017, Provincial Planning is the planning that specifies the national master plan and regional planning at the provincial level on the space of socio-economic activities, national defense, security, urban system and rural population distribution, infrastructure, land distribution, resource use and environmental protection on the basis of connecting national planning, regional planning, urban planning, and rural planning.

This is a very important plan to provide necessary information for the development of sectoral, field, program and project plans in the area to attract investment, contributing to promoting socio-economic development.
