Dong Trieu Town, Quang Ninh will officially be upgraded to the 5th city of Quang Ninh and the youngest city in the country.
Young city shape
On the way to realizing the goal of establishing a city, Dong Trieu strives to implement solutions for construction, renovation and urban development in the new period.
The urban appearance of the young city of Dong Trieu is changing day by day. Many regional connecting traffic routes have been completed and put into operation, such as the project to upgrade provincial routes 327, 333, 345, Dong Mai bridge (connecting Chi Linh city, Hai Duong), Trieu bridge (connecting Kinh Mon town, Hai Duong).
Many new urban areas have been formed, the urban area on both sides of Road 188 in Mao Khe Ward, the urban area on both sides of the bypass in Dong Trieu Ward, the new Kim Son urban area north of National Highway 18, the urban area south of National Highway 18, the Quan Trieu industrial park and urban area in Kim Son Ward.
Several urban renovation and beautification projects have been implemented, such as: Renovation of the landscape at the intersection of Hung Dao ward bypass, construction of infrastructure for residential areas in Vinh Hoa area, Mao Khe ward. In particular, the project to renovate and beautify the sidewalks on both sides of Le Chan - Nguyen Binh street, Dong Trieu town and the section from Dong Trieu intersection to the old 332 bypass intersection + the old 332 bypass section with a total route length of more than 4.5km with a total investment of 110 billion VND from the provincial budget support and the town's counterpart has been newly started in 2024.
The development space of the young city of Dong Trieu will follow 3 areas. In which, the western space focuses on developing urban, administrative, commercial, service, and model new rural areas. The northern space focuses on spiritual and ecological tourism connecting with historical relics associated with the Tran Dynasty and Yen Tu. The eastern space focuses on the mining industry, clean industry, and logistics services associated with the 10-lane Southwest Avenue connecting Ha Long - Hai Phong Expressway to Dong Trieu town.
As one of the sons of Dong Trieu land, Mr. Nguyen Quang Nha (former Secretary of Dong Trieu District Party Committee, now Dong Trieu town) said that to be what it is today, Dong Trieu has gone through many ups and downs of a purely agricultural land.
After 42 years of working in Dong Trieu, in 1991 he was appointed Secretary of Dong Trieu District Party Committee. He retired in 2000.
Mr. Nha recalled that before 2000, Dong Trieu's economy mainly depended on agriculture. The locality faced many difficulties due to the subsidy mechanism, but also carried out a number of important tasks to create momentum for future development such as completing the irrigation system including dams, dykes, irrigation pumping stations, breaking the situation of "floods before rain, drought before sun".
"I was born, raised and matured in Dong Trieu, so when I heard the news that the locality was about to become a city, I was very excited. We must trust the current generation of young cadres because this team has the qualifications, capacity and enthusiasm. I believe that with the leadership of the Party, the State and the Quang Ninh provincial government, the current leadership team will work with the people to change and further develop the gateway land of our province," said Mr. Nha.
"Rolling out the red carpet" to attract FDI capital
Currently, Dong Trieu has only 2 foreign enterprises investing in food production operating in Dong Trieu's agricultural growing areas to ensure a closed process from raw materials. In addition, thousands of local people also have stable jobs at these enterprises.
Mr. Kim In Woo - Director of F-One Global Foods LLC - said that his company chose Dong Trieu to produce food because this place has clean agricultural products that meet food standards for export to foreign countries.
According to Mr. Kim In Woo, the business has been operating for many years and has been facilitated by the local government from choosing the location of the factory to coordinating training in agricultural cultivation skills using advanced techniques.
Mr. Nguyen Van Cong - Secretary of Dong Trieu City Party Committee - said that after 9 years, the criteria on urban infrastructure have been evaluated by the Ministry of Construction and the national council, and commented that they exceed the requirements of a provincial tourist city. Thus, Dong Trieu has met the conditions to be the 5th city under Quang Ninh province.
During the past time, the locality has built connecting routes between Quang Yen economic zone, Uong Bi city, Bac Giang province, Hai Duong, Hai Phong city to ensure connectivity. Thereby promoting and creating conditions for investors to come to the locality and access the labor market of neighboring localities.
Dong Trieu is currently planning and implementing 2 industrial clusters, of which 1 industrial cluster has been approved by the People's Committee of Quang Ninh province. In the coming time, it will continue to complete procedures to establish Yen Tho industrial cluster. Currently, the locality is proposing to establish Dong Trieu 1 industrial park with an area of 200 hectares. A very large land fund is reserved for industrial park 2 with an area of 1,200 hectares.
In the near future, in Trang An industrial park, brick and tile factories will be relocated to ensure the environment, in Yen Tho industrial park, ceramic factories will be relocated.
Dong Trieu Industrial Park 1 and 2 will focus on attracting manufacturing and processing industries, clean industries. The coal industry, Dong Trieu's strength, is also given priority for underground mining development.
According to the leader of Dong Trieu town, before the city was established, Dong Trieu had 21 communes and wards, including 10 wards and 11 communes. From November 1, Dong Trieu will have 19 administrative units under the city, including 6 communes and 13 wards. By the end of this year, we strive to have 100% of communes meet the criteria of a model new rural area, with rural areas mainly being agricultural, and urban areas mainly being industrial and service.
However, there are still many challenges for a young city such as the economic restructuring that requires strict urban planning management to ensure that it is an ecological city, an urban area that preserves traditional culture and the environment. It is necessary to develop the economy synchronously from rural to urban areas, not concentrated in one place. Rural areas must have infrastructure that is close to urban areas, this is a problem that the Party Committee and people of Dong Trieu are determined to implement.
Box: On the morning of September 28, the National Assembly Standing Committee voted to approve the Resolution on the arrangement of district and commune-level administrative units in the 2023-2025 period of 13 provinces and cities. In Quang Ninh, Dong Trieu City was established on the basis of Dong Trieu Town with an area of 395.950 km2 and a population of 249,000. The National Assembly Standing Committee agreed to establish 4 wards of Binh Duong, Thuy An, Binh Khe, and Yen Duc in Dong Trieu City.
