As a growth pole of the Northern region, Quang Ninh province clearly identifies its political determination to be one of the leading localities in realizing the aspiration for national development in the new era of development, the era of national development, and the goal of Vietnam's economic growth reaching double digits in the coming decades. The 14% growth target is a great determination of Quang Ninh province, requiring efforts in implementing solutions to liberate all resources, creating a breakthrough in rapid and sustainable economic development.
GRDP strives for highest ever
The year 2025 is of special importance, the final year of implementing the 5-year Socio-Economic Development Plan 2021-2025, the year of acceleration, breakthrough, and reaching the finish line, and at the same time the year of focusing on organizing Party congresses at all levels towards the 14th National Party Congress and consolidating and preparing well the fundamental factors to successfully implement the 10-year Socio-Economic Development Strategy (2021-2030). At the same time, it marks the time when the country enters a new era of development. To create a solid foundation and achieve Vietnam's long-term double-digit economic growth target, the Government has set a target of 8% GDP growth in 2025, with a GDP scale of over 500 billion USD.
The Prime Minister requested that provinces and centrally-run cities grasp their potential and strengths to build socio-economic development plans and growth scenarios for 2025 with the highest spirit of striving, the greatest effort, ensuring that they are suitable to local characteristics but must be unified in the common goal of contributing to national economic development. Large cities and localities that are locomotives and growth poles need to strive for higher growth rates to contribute to overall growth. In particular, Quang Ninh is assigned to strive for a growth target of 12%, ranking 2nd in the Red River Delta region (after Hai Phong City at 12.5%, equal to Ninh Binh province) and ranking 4th out of 63 provinces and cities nationwide.
In order to realize the national target, contributing to the overall growth of the country, Quang Ninh province has recently developed a scenario for the highest economic growth in 2025 ever, with a growth rate of 14%, 2% higher than the Prime Minister's assigned target and the target previously approved in Resolution 31 of the Provincial Party Committee and Resolution 237 of the Provincial People's Council. This is a target that poses no small challenge but also demonstrates the great determination and responsibility of a locality identified as a growth pole of the Northern region in contributing to the overall growth of the country.
Speaking at the meeting of the Provincial Party Standing Committee to give opinions on the GRDP growth scenario in 2025, Comrade Vu Dai Thang, member of the Party Central Committee, Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee, emphasized: To reach the figure of 14%, the scale of the province's economy in 2025 must reach about 395,000 billion VND. That requires maximum efforts and the highest efforts of the entire political system, people and business community in the whole province. At the same time, it is necessary to identify strategic orientations in key sectors, fields and key areas that are truly correct and accurate, helping to unblock and connect resources of the whole society, unleash all the potential differences, outstanding opportunities and competitive advantages of the province to create breakthroughs in rapid and sustainable development.
Focus on breakthrough solutions
Based on fundamental calculations of each resource and growth factor in each industry and each field, the province has developed drastic and direct solutions to solve problems in local practical conditions. In particular, the core solution, considered the "breakthrough of breakthroughs", is to liberate all resources through promoting investment activities. To implement this solution, the province assigns departments, branches and localities to each specific growth target in order to enhance the responsibility of departments, branches and localities in implementing the proposed solutions, especially issues related to investment, site clearance, and removing difficulties and obstacles for investment projects in the area.
As the capital city of Quang Ninh province, Ha Long City has identified 2025 as the year of breakthrough acceleration, creating a foundation for a new stage. The Standing Committee of Ha Long City Party Committee decided to adjust the city's economic growth target from 16.8% to 18.8% in 2025.

This is a new product contributing to growth. At the same time, the Provincial People's Committee has approved the implementation of a supporting industrial cluster in Ha Khau ward. The approved project contributes to Ha Long City in the field of processing and manufacturing industry. For some large investment projects in the area such as Ha Long Xanh and Dai Duong Park, the city is working with other sectors to remove difficulties to focus on implementation this year.
