Concluding the conference, Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee Pham Anh Tuan said that the socio-economic development situation in the first quarter of 2025 has many bright spots with GRDP increasing by 7.51%. Most importantly, the entire political system is united and determined for the common work, for the homeland of Binh Dinh, although it is not a little affected by the political task of streamlining the organizational apparatus and the upcoming merger of the province, not organizing at the district level, merging at the commune level.

The work of reorganizing the apparatus at the provincial level and the departments and offices at the district level in the past time has been carried out very quickly, the apparatus operates smoothly, unitedly, meeting the requirements of work resolution.

Another positive point is that investment promotion activities have had positive changes, many investors are very interested in Binh Dinh. The "capital" of new investors registered in the province, combined with renewable energy projects that can be implemented, the total investment amount is about 300 trillion VND.

“This clearly shows the “falling point” and “ripe point” of Binh Dinh province in attracting investment. As long as the province takes care of and promptly supports investors to implement these projects until 2030 - 2035, the economic scale of Binh Dinh will be completely different. Binh Dinh must try to take care of, support as best as possible, retain investors to implement projects and spread, attract more new investors and new projects”, Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee Pham Anh Tuan emphasized.
