Dear comrades, delegates and guests!

In addition to the results, potentials and opportunities, Ninh Thuan still has many untapped advantages; the economic scale is still small, competitiveness is still limited; economic growth rate is quite good, but not sustainable; potentials and strengths have not been effectively exploited; budget revenue and investment resources are still limited; socio-economic infrastructure is not synchronous, not much connection, especially inter-regional and intra-regional transport infrastructure; enterprises in the province are mainly small-scale enterprises;... Meanwhile, the planning target of the province is set quite high, expecting that by 2030 it will become a province with an average income in the upper middle group of the country. To complete the goals of the Provincial Planning, in addition to the determination and great efforts of the locality and the business community, the province needs to continue to have support and assistance from the Central Government. On this occasion, Ninh Thuan province respectfully requests the Government, the Prime Minister, ministries and central branches to pay attention and consider supporting the province in the following contents:

Firstly, it is recommended to study and promulgate mechanisms and policies to support the rapid and sustainable socio-economic development of Ninh Thuan province, quickly narrowing the development gap compared to other provinces in the region and the whole country; focusing on mobilizing resources to strengthen regional connectivity and connecting infrastructure.

Second, it is recommended to study and perfect the legal system on investment and land to unify implementation at the local level.

Third, there are specific mechanisms and policies to support the development of marine economy in the provinces in the region; mechanisms to support and arrange coastal residents, prevent natural disasters; planning and policies to arrange marine space, exploit the potential of new marine economic sectors (such as offshore wind power, maritime, logistics, marine resource exploitation, deep-sea farming, etc.), especially investing in the construction of modern fishery logistics service areas, continuing to promote support for offshore fishermen associated with supporting the livelihoods of people in coastal areas, creating development momentum and maximizing the potential and advantages of each locality in the region to create growth poles to promote socio-economic development.
