Discussing with members of the Advisory Group on development perspectives, the head of Nghe An Provincial Party Committee said that in the context of limited resources and the largest area in the country, the province should have a new approach to the Eastern and Western regions.

For the Eastern region, Nghe An focuses on allocating basic resources, as well as attracting and mobilizing resources to invest in development in this region to create a breakthrough. Currently, the province is focusing on building a deep-water seaport; renovating and upgrading Vinh International Airport and will soon expand the administrative boundaries of Vinh city by merging the entire administrative boundaries of Cua Lo town and 6 communes of Nghi Loc district to build Vinh city into a coastal city. The province will also continue to focus on attracting strategic investors to the Eastern region.
